Tarot Verbatim
Guidance What type of person are you? What categories do you fit and not fit into? This determines your destiny in so many unspoken and unwritten ways, especially in the workplace. Posture and dress and speech classify you and me as if there were a caste system in spite of our many ways of pussyfooting around it. Even more than ability, talent, or intelligence, having the look and/or being the type opens doors of opportunity. A person’s manner and manners attract or detract in ways that would be frowned upon as ‘discrimination’ in another setting. Some professions less than others, it’s true, but even in those it pays to mind your appearance as much as your manners, and exhibit the customary behavior for the field. Ahem, we call that conforming.

Tarot Verbatim: Questioning Work (Eight of Pentacles and Seven of Pentacles)
I guess I’m proud to be working class.
He is the type who asks you one question after another.
Are my language skills up to snuff for this job?
Why should a young guy have just an ordinary job?
Can you do the same thing in the same way over and over – is that you?
He is the type to question the way things are usually done.
The work is so standardized; am I that type person?
Tarot Verbatim: The Right Look For The Job (Hierophant and Page of Wands and Eight of Pentacles)
I think I am a good fit for my job.
He says this is the work he usually does, and I think so.
So where is my respectable handsome young man who is employed?
If I were good-looking, would I be doing my usual job?
How come the average worker there is so clean-cut?
How can a guy so young and cute be a such a good worker?
Having the right look for this job seems to be enough.
Tarot Verbatim: Good Enough to Work Here (Hierophant and Eight of Pentacles)
I wonder if have the credentials to work there?
Can I claim I have a good recommendation at that place of employment?
I think you will fit right in with the look the other employees have.
Tarot Readings: I Keep Questioning Things (Eight of Pentacles and Seven of Pentacles)
I’m pretty sure I can say the same lines over and over.
This job involves saying things that are not quite factual.
Talking for a living is not quite the usual thing.
Can you say the prescribed lines for this job?
Tarot Readings: I Keep Questioning Things (Eight of Pentacles and Seven of Pentacles)
Have you ever heard an honest worker claim to be one?
I tell myself over and over I am not so sure this is correct.
Do you think you should keep saying that, even though it’s true?
I wonder why the average Joe, every time, says these things.
What if I suggested a job that is just average?
They say my employment is not quite respectable.
Why do we always use the same words to say that?

Seven of Pentacles
Hierophant – Page of Wands – Eight of Pentacles
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
. Hierophant and Page of Wands are similar cards with different applications. Both mean being respectable, behaving well, conforming, fitting in, being accepted and acceptable, and having the right look. They are both about appearances more than actualities. Hierophant is more about the qualities, and Page of Wands is a person who has those characteristics or qualities. So Hierophant is respectability, and Page of Wands is respectable.
Hierophant is about the face of things, having a straight face, having the right papers and so forth. Hierophant is about standards and strictures – conforming to them, complying with them, being okay. Hierophant very often simply says the ordinary, usual, average … the consensus more than what’s right. Hierophant is the official story, the things most people pretend to believe or think they believe. There’s an artificiality to Hierophant, a hypocrisy, sometimes. The root meaning of the card is the difference between the way it really is, and the way we act like it is – whether we are a person or a government or a workplace.
Page of Wands is a person who fits in, conforms, is acceptable and accepted, who wants to please and is someone everyone gets along with. The ‘conforming’ expands, in Page of Wands, to speech or talk (well-spoken), to dress (well-dressed or appropriately dressed), to physical appearance (handsome, young, good-looking, fit). But it also stands for those qualities or characteristics, so it can describe a female as well. Most often, it applies to a person in his or her twenties, starting out in life as an apprentice and wanting to fit in. (Of course, we all know elderly people who are youthful in their way of living.) Keep in mind, though, that Page of Wands often simply reads ‘he,’ and does not stand for a female when it is just referring to person like that.
An aspect of Page of Wands we have not touched upon, because we are not using it today, is ‘standing up’ and ‘standing for’ and making a claim, giving your word. Popeye’s ‘I am who I am.’
Hierophant and Eight of Pentacles refer to a routine. Hierophant describes a protocol, a ceremony, a ritual, and the proper way it’s done, or the way it’s usually done. Eight of Pentacles is doing the same operation over and over, exemplified by a carpenter making identical pieces.
Eight of Pentacles is the job, work, workplace, work site, working class, worker, employment, and steadily doing the same thing. It often says ‘over and over’ and ‘keep doing,’ which means continuing to do something as well as ‘keeping at it.’ It refers to consistently being or doing – like loving you consistently rather than sporadically, like calling or showing up consistently – but of course the other card is necessary for this application. Look for ‘ing’ words (gerunds) for this. Soo now we know what all this from the other cards applies to: the job.
Seven of Pentacles The remaining Rider-Waite Tarot card asks a question, is not so sure about something, wonders and ponders, and translates ‘maybe.’ It can say ‘doubt,’ especially doubt about an outcome because the fellow leaning on the shovel is not sure his labor will pay off in produce: Cucumbers need a plant of the opposite gender in order to bear.
Hierophant and Eight of Pentacles; also Page of Wands and Eight of Pentacles Here is why our main theme is fitting in at work. Eight of Pentacles is work or job; both Hierophant and Page of Wands mean fitting in, conforming, being acceptable. Both Hierophant and Page of Wands are about ‘type of person,’ stereotypes, as well. So that is our theme today: who to be.

Hierophant means pope. There he is in a red robe, monks kneeling to his authority. Conformity galore. Here it will refer to fitting in and being the right type of person. Hierophant is about the surface appearance: the ritual, not its real meaning. This idea is illustrated by the pope doing a ritual with some monks or priests.
Page of Wands dresses the part and speaks well. He is all about image and fitting in and being acceptable, about being the type, and type-casting yourself. He is the good-looking respectable young man your mother wants/wanted you to marry. He can be vain and foppish in Tarot Verbatim™ as he is pictured in our Rider Waite deck here.
Eight of Pentacles is about repetitive action, doing something in the same way over and over, as the carpenter makes one identical tile after another here. Work, employment, the workplace, the job, being the worker or being working-class. Eight of Pentacles is also about being consistent, keeping at it, being steady.
Seven of Pentacles ponders and puzzles and questions. When you grow plants that have gender, they don’t bear fruit unless both genders are within some vicinity of one another. This is the questionable situation in the illustration.

Four Card Spreads, Our Daily Spread
Advice What type of person are you? What categories do you fit and not fit into? This determines your destiny in so many unspoken and unwritten ways, especially in the workplace. Posture and dress and speech classify you and me as if there were a caste system in spite of our many ways of pussyfooting around it. Even more than ability, talent, intelligence, having the look and/or being the type opens doors of opportunity. Some professions less than others, it’s true, but even in those it pays to mind your appearance as much as your manners, and exhibit the customary behavior for the field.

General
Have you ever heard an honest worker claim to be one?
I said over and over again I wasn’t so sure this was correct.
Do you think you should keep saying that, even though it’s true?
Why should a young guy have just an ordinary job?
What if I told you about a just average job?
People say it’s not quite respectable employment.
Why do they always say it the same way?
The job is about talking (Page of Wands + Eight of Pentacles)
The job is saying not-quite-respectable conversation.
This job is about telling people questionable things.
Talking for a living is not quite the usual thing.
Can you say the prescribed lines for this job?
Being that type of person (Hierophant + Page of Wands)
How can he be proud to be a working-class fellow?
He is the type who asks you one question after another.
Am not sure what the average working-class person would say.
I wonder why the average Joe, every time, says these things.
I guess that’s the way the average working-class person talks.
Can you do the same thing in the same way over and over – is that you?
He is the type to question the way things are usually done.
The work is so standardized; are you that type person?
The right look for the job (Hierophant, Page of Wands + Eight of Pentacles)
He seems acceptable in each and every way.
So where is a respectable good-looking young handsome man with a job?
If I were good-looking, would I have my usual job?
How come the average worker here is so good-looking?
He seems a good worker to be so young and cute.
He seems to get jobs by looking and talking so clean-cut.
Having the right look for the job seems to be enough.

Seven of Pentacles
Hierophant – Page of Wands – Eight of Pentacles
MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
Respectability, conformity, being accepted and acceptable, having the right look are meanings common to both Hierophant and Page of Wands. Page of Wands is more about appearance – in particular being good-looking. Hierophant is more about standards and moral strictures.
So what does this apply to? – well, the workplace or job or employment, Eight of Pentacles says. Both Hierophant and Eight of Pentacles refer to a routine – Hierophant as ceremonial routine and Eight of Pentacles as doing the same operation over and over.
The remaining Rider Waite card asks a questions or calls something into question.
So our subject is about fitting in at work, about being the type to work here. It is also about just being a type of person or not.
MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: LEARN TAROT BY THE PICTURES
Hierophant means pope. There he is in a red robe, monks kneeling to his authority. Conformity galore. Here it will refer to the repetitive routines we do on the job.
Page of Wands dresses the part and speaks well. He is all about image and fitting in and being acceptable, about being the type and type-casting yourself. He is the good-looking respectable young man your mother wants/wanted you to marry. He can be vain and foppish as he is pictured in our Rider Waite deck here.
Eight of Pentacles is about repetitive action, doing something in the same way over and over, as the carpenter makes one identical tile after another here. Work, employment, the workplace, the job, being the worker or being working-class.
Seven of Pentacles ponders and puzzles and questions. When you grow plants that have gender, they don’t bear fruit unless both genders are within some vicinity of one another. This is the questionable situation in the illustration.

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

A lot of attention, not (just) because you are nice.

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.

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.
