Tarot Readings for You for February 11, 2013 Monday(c)

Guidance     Our main message today is that the people who build a community are the people who have good intentions and sound ideas, who get together, make deals, and live up to them.  “People who are in business have a realistic view,” we say.  As usual, we point out that what makes a relationship happy makes for a happy prosperous community as well. This is a Tarot mantra.

 

Instructions:

Are YOU here for the first time?  Come in!  People love this place!  Our site is divided into four sections: Guidance, Tarot Readings, Learn Tarot by Observation, and Learn Tarot by Pictures.
If you just want your daily look ahead, Guidance and Tarot Readings are all you need.  ‘Guidance’ is a summary of what the cards are generally advising visitors to be aware of that day.  ‘Tarot Readings’ is the actual word for word messages the cards are conveying.  Tarot can come up with a wide variety of sentences (sometimes even completely contradictory sentences!) in a group reading as there is no specific question being asked.  So, go ahead and pick the sentences you feel are yours and decide whether to encourage or reject them for yourself.

Want even more insight and information about a specific situation in your life? Call me, Emily, at 1-800-993-6912 and talk to me personally and have yourself a live, in detail, Tarot Reading like no other you may ever have had before. Your call will support 500 acres of wildlife in an animal sanctuary where I live and call home.

Also, don’t be shy about talking to the Community of Users in the comment section below. You’ll find this as the very last thing on this site. Trust me when I say we would *love* to hear from you!

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

.

All four of these Rider Waite Tarot cards, in Tarot Verbatim(TM), mean good people in one way or another.  Let’s cover that first.

 

Three of Pentacles is people getting together in a fair deal, each doing his part as agreed.  Page of Pentacles is a person with good intentions, who is the thoughtful type.  Ten of Cups is one big happy family, a community of good people.  Hermit is the honest man, the seeker of truth, the helpful friend.

 

Both Three of Pentacles and Ten of Cups are a group of like-minded people, with Three of Pentacles emphasizing their dealing with one another and/or business; and Ten of Cups emphasizing a community of good people.  Both these are flavored with money:  Three of Pentacles is a profitable deal, and Ten of Cups is a prosperous neighborhood or family.

 

Both Page of Pentacles and Hermit are honest people, both are looking for something, both are about knowing, and both are male cards.  Page of Pentacles has something in mind, is young and looking for his place in society – the apprentice type thing.  Hermit is old, is looking for people to help, is a friend and is wise or a counselor.  You can think of Page of Pentacles as what Hermit was like as a teenager.

 

Our main message today is that the people who build a community are the people who have good intentions and sound ideas, who get together, make deals, and live up to them.  “People who are in business have a realistic view,” we say.  As usual, we point out that what makes a relationship happy makes for a happy prosperous community as well.

LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES

Three of Pentacles is people getting together negotiating and closing a fair deal, each doing his part as agreed.  It shows a meeting of likeminded people (a monk and a nun meeting with the architect who shows them he followed the blueprint, which he has in his hands, and is entitled to his final draw) dealing with one another, each doing his part as agreed.  It is about business exchanges that are mutually profitable.  It covers real estate closings, legal processes, and any kind of meeting – especially of three people.

  hermit

Page of Pentacles      has something in mind, is young and looking for his place in society – the apprentice type thing.  This is usually a male card.  It is about identity ‘What or Who am I?’  This is an honest person, probably an introspective person, looking for something or at something.  It often translates ‘knows.’  It is one of the cards about focus, perspective, view, opinion, and so on.

 hermit

Ten of Cups    is one big happy family, a community of like-minded good people, a happy marriage, a prosperous neighborhood or family.  Mass consciousness of a group is one of its applications.  It can be ‘the moral majority’ type thing, the sanctimonious Nurse Ratchett mentality.  It can be about the ‘us’ of ‘us and them.’  The illustration shows a couple with their boy- and girl- child prancing together, the embracing couple’s spare arms raised to heaven as a rainbow graces their golf-course abode. (Where’s the dog?)

 hermit

Hermit    Remember Diogenes, looking for the honest man, with his lamp in hand?  Well, Hermit represents that idea with the picture of a service monk looking for travelers in distress.  The seeker of truth, the helpful friend.  Hermit is about looking for something, maybe a search for a missing person, even.  He is about knowing and being a counselor, bringing information or even enlightenment.  He can be an investigator to, or even you looking for your car keys.

 

 

 

EXPLANATIONS:

Each and every ‘Tarot Reading’ sentence you see is a literal interpretation of the four Rider Waite Tarot cards drawn and pictured for today. (The literal interpretation is from the illustration on each card.) These sentences are put together by only combining the phrases of what each cards says. In other words, there are NO “filler” phrases added just to make full sentences, and no psychic ability or spirit guide is ever involved.

 

*Without a question* in a group reading to focus the answer, the four Tarot cards can mean quite contradictory things, especially when the Spread has a card that means ‘no,’ ‘never’ or ‘not.’ These negative modifiers can apply to any one of the other cards.
*Without a question* in a group reading, the pronouns (you, him, her, me, us, them, they, etc.) are more flexible. Whenever you see a pronoun in parentheses, please *feel very free* to substitute another pronoun than the one used. I try to drop pronouns when possible, which, if you’ve noticed, can make for awkward phrasing.

Now in an ‘real’ individual reading, the questioner asks a specific question and thereby supplies at least half the information! In an individual situation, the parties are identified and sometimes a time frame is too. Here, in a group reading we cannot do that and so we get a variety of sentences.

Horoscopes are group readings, too. Astrology is based on someone else’s birth data, though, so a ‘solar’ group horoscope never really solidly applies to you! (Astrologers know this!)

Tarot, on the other hand, is perfectly capable of flexibly addressing any group, including all of the visitors that come to this site. It can also address people you might not even know personally, such as all the people at your job who have a say in whether or not you get a raise.

We have been wondering here lately whether the Tarot Verbatim(TM) sentences are more accurate for regular visitors than they are for people who visit this site only once in awhile or for a short time. Would you help us with a comment please, if you have not been a regular visitor? Just let us know if the sentences are relevant to you. So far, people say they do apply.

Return to this site often and you can put all this together and intuitively see yourself how Tarot Verbatim(TM) works. Regular visitors actually learn to read Rider Waite Tarot cards with very little effort.

Rider Waite Tarot 2-16-11a

He is looking for a happy committed marriage and doing what it takes.

This spread immediately suggested the Moral Majority to me! even the Tea Party people! No ‘spoiler’ cards here! Both the Hermit and the Hierophant (pope) are churchy cards, and the Ten of Cups is the good people of the community, the happy marriage. The other card’s main meanings are work/workers/workplace and consistently doing something. So, are we on the straight and narrow or WHAT, here?

Today’s messages tell us there are good people around us and we can find and join them; tell us that life is or can be nice and normal; tell us that the workplace can be peaceful. No nasty surprises to look out for today!

Meanings and Illustrations:

Hermit: The story of this Rider Waite Tarot card is about monks who would search for travelers to help them at night. Its common meanings are to seek, to look for, to search or search for, to look out for, to be out at night, to be monogamous or celibate, to be honest, kind, considerate, helpful, and also the truth, the facts. It means ‘to look into’ or an investigation as well. Here, the phrases arising from the Rider Waite Hermit card are: monogamous, looking for/looking, honest/honest man, patiently, devoted/devout, warm and caring, helps/helpful, counselor, knows how, inspect, old man, investigation, the fact is, comfort, see to it, and supervises.

Eight of Pentacles: Here is the carpenter working consistently turning out one identical item after another on his work bench. This card consistently refers to work, repetitious movements, repeated action, workplace, profession/professional, construction work, the actual doing of something. It is one of the anchor cards since it is an ‘old faithful’ in these meanings.

Ten of Cups: This refers to a group of people, in a positive way. Your circle, your family (or someone else’s whom you are asking about) the people, community, the good people, and so on. It also means happy and ‘happily after, and – best of all – a happy marriage or family.

Hierophant: First of all ‘Hierophant’ means ‘pope.’ I read a Tarot book by a (black) magic-oriented person that instructed: When you pull this card, just quit for the day. Really. The full main meaning of the Hierophant is about the difference between what the common folk are taught and the actual church teachings for the cognoscenti (ones in the know). Anyway, as you might expect, in Rider Waite this card is about such things as normal, everyday, behaving yourself, ‘correct’ and ‘right,’ harmless, safe and playing it safe, ordinary, the official story, the ‘on paper’ or ‘fit to print’ version. It means commit and commitment, and ‘true to.’ You can fill in much of the rest, can’t you?

Rider Waite Tarot 2-16-11b

He gives her lots of gifts when she isn’t sweet

Death
Six of Pentacles, Eight of Wands, Six of Cups

Business/Other Perspectives:
An increase in pay, not (just) for being good.
More money being paid (to you), not as a gift.
A lot of attention, not (just) because you are nice.
He is paid to not talk about what used to be.
No increase in the pay you actually receive.
More attention when he/she isn’t being good.
No more children to spend money on.
Too many bills to pay: No more kids!
No more bills than in the past.
Lots more attention, not like it used to be.
Not spending all that money like you used to.
Making more money, not like in the past!
Romantic Perspective:
When he isn’t sweet to her, he gets a lot of attention.
More and more romantic attention in the end.
He gives her lots of gifts when she isn’t sweet.
She ends up with him giving her a lot of money regularly.
He doesn’t talk romantically but gives her money/gifts.
When she isn’t sweet to him, she gets a lot of attention.
When he is giving her more loving attention, he ends it.
She does not get all the romantic attention she deserves.
He sends her a lot of romantic messages/texts, and stops.
Does not spend that much money on gifts.
Ends the love affair by sending texts.
He doesn’t pay child support regularly.
Says it is not his child in court.
No increase in child support payments.
Don’t talk about loving or pay any attention.

Someone is giving and someone is receiving (Six of Cups suggests a girl) and it’s sweet/romantic and/or relates to the past, and there is more of it. The different scenarios are from putting the cards together in different ways. This spread is a good exercise for that, actually. I invite you to make four lists of the words – one for each of the individual cards, below – and creatively weave sentences together in different ways yourself.

Meanings and Illustrations:

Six of Pentacles: To pay. To receive. Wages, bills, to spend. Fair, fairly, a fair price. Court proceedings. To pay attention to someone, or receive that. The illustration shows an employer measuring exactly the wages of employees.

Eight of Wands: The wands are flying in the air, a lot of them, looking like lines of writing. Meanings related to this Rider Waite Tarot illustration are things like: increase, more, a lot of, talk/says/words, attention, spend money on, texts, regularly.

Six of Cups: Well, there it is again. You would think there were several of these in the deck. I check for that, okay!? Little boy gives little girl flowers in the courtyard of a picturesque old home. It speaks of romance, sweetness, home, gifts, children, trust, loving feeling.

Death: In this spread, the Death card does not work well as a negator for some of the meanings, due to the interlocked meanings of the other cards which have to talk about receiving – receiving love, gifts, money, attention, etc. So it means things like stop, in the end, and commands of ‘don’t’ and ‘isn’t’ and so on.
