You don’t even think of it as minding the rules or behaving yourself, but you do whatever that is, with wonderful results. You automatically make a good place of whatever is around you (or as good a place as it’s capable of), and the next thing you know, you are in a better place. Repeat the process – it’s a subconscious one, and it’s famous for great results..

GUIDANCE Did you come here for Your Daily Predictions? Good! Guidance provides your predictions in a summary. It is the Guidance received for you through three Rider Waite Tarot™ cards, using Tarot Verbatim™.
GROUP TAROT READINGS Here are several one-sentence readings that are predictions for you and the people around you for today and the days around it. Here Tarot is talking to you: These sentences express word-for-word, verbatim, the meanings of those three Tarot cards. You choose which sentences apply to you, and you choose whether to encourage them or not.
SYNOPSIS Located right after the Group Tarot Cards Reading sentences, is a deeper expression of today’s Guidance. Read this too for your predictions. Here you complete your predictions experience. The rest of the page is more about learning to love and learn Tarot Verbatim™.
LEARN TAROT CARDS BY PICTURES Are you ready to begin learning Tarot Verbatim™? Here your in-depth meanings come alive for each of the three cards! In Tarot Verbatim™, pictures make the meaning, so each card is like a person you know and remember.
WITHOUT THE PICTURES For the true seeker of Tarot knowledge, here is what you need to know about how the three cards in today’s spread affect one another, and how to apply Tarot Verbatim™. Here too the cards come alive, together.
WHERE EACH PHRASE COMES FROM At a glance, with a color for each card, your subconscious picks up on how the sentences of GROUP TAROT CARDS READING came to be. You feel how individual card meanings reach out and blend, unite, into a sentence. (You can learn this – yes, you!) Your subconscious awareness sees the image and its feeling and your conscious awareness sees the language meaning, the text… so your two minds focus together to see 3D, three dimensionally, the same way your two eyes see depth that one eye does not.
PHRASES FOR ALL THREE TWO CARD COMBINATIONS Are you ready for the final step of this revolutionary Tarot Verbatim™ technique? Now to make it exceedingly plain and simple, we list the expressions each pair of cards makes. We list them in paragraph form rather than itemized so that they flow, and your subconscious clicks into place and ‘gets it.’ You may even find flashes of dreams or intuitive realities as you read these, at times.
The Rider Waite Tarot™ deck is a data bank in mass consciousness that your subconscious can communicate with. Tarot Verbatim™ is the Rosetta Stone that makes that communication easy because it is a bridge between conscious and subconscious thought. When both your levels of awareness focus together, you think intuitively in real time in ‘the real world.’
Bon voyage!

Synopsis
|
The muse breathes this into our ear occasionally: that if we just lived out there where she is, we would not have these physical-real-world aggravations. She doesn’t hand us a road map; that’s not her style. We believe and we even know what she breathes is true because briefly, occasionally, we hit that air pocket she is in, we push the clutch in and coast on clouds deliciously. The trick is to get back up there and to spend more time there. Don’t know about staying there, though.

Hierophant
Here you see the pope doing his workaday routine with his associates, doing a ritual in the real physical world for anyone to watch. Ordinary everyday down-to-earth polite accepted usual stuff in the real physical world: That’s our Hierophant: The face of things, the way things are or the way they should be – respectable, safe, honest and in order. All those words solidly belong to Hierophant. Conservative, middle-of-the-road, on the safe side, committed, and the house is in order, and the behavior is right. And you get what you are entitled to without a fuss.
The real physical world – the mundane – is Hierophant. The surface appearance mostly. Why? Well, the core meaning of this card is deeper than all that: The core meaning is about ‘face,’ about what we all pretend is a fact when we all in our gut know better. That goes deeper than the polite pretense: It makes a reality. It is the underpinning of the herd mentality or the mass consciousness that mammals have, including human mammals. You get to keep what you have if you let the members who have more than you keep theirs. It’s an unspoken treaty. And the people who have less than you let you keep yours in return. It’s The Rule.
If you disagree with any part of the consensus, you know that you are on the outside on this particular topic, and you tend to police yourself to not make an issue of it. That’s Hierophant. Think of it as the red flag in your gut.
Fool
Fool is the total opposite of Hierophant in every way. If Hierophant is The System, Fool is the hippie. Hierophant is earthbound and Fool lives ‘out there’ in spiritual realities. Hierophant is physical consciousness and Fool is the unconscious or superconscious. The core meaning of Fool is the unconscious, living in that free-spirited open mind that lets things be whatever, that isn’t paying any particular attention and that isn’t expecting any particular thing. The phrase ‘water off a duck’s back’ is reminiscent of Fool and his ways.
Fool is assuming, and Fool is faith. I don’t know why, and I don’t have to keep track – so I am oblivious, I don’t care. Things happen for no particular reason, and just let them happen – because, who knows?
You don’t make an impression on someone who doesn’t pay attention, and that is Fool’s genius. The core meaning here is that people who live in an ‘out there’ subconscious reality aren’t really fully present in ‘the real world,’ and are not restricted by it, not touched by the consequences the rest of us have to endure.
How does Fool come to mean all this? Well, as the Zero in the deck, the cipher that has no value of its own but affects other values (10 becomes 100, etc.), Fool stands for incipient, nascent, unknowns … like the Muse.
Wheel of Fortune
Wheel of Fortune is about how nonphysical entities affect the events in our life and in our world. Wheel of Fortune’s design expresses that both divine and infernal entities surround us. Here’s how: For the divine influence, there’s the Hebrew ‘Jehovah’ in its four letters and for the infernal influence there’s the funky critters on the rim and around the outside of the wheel in the clouds.
What holds this concept together in the illustration is those four letters interspersed with the four letters of ‘Jehovah’ – ROTA. ‘Rota’ means ‘wheel,’ and means ‘Wheel of Fortune.’ Rota, from which English gets ‘rotate,’ translates ‘wheel.’ This ‘wheel’ concept comes from some myths, one of which is about Apollo and the evil place the dragons inhabit where the flat earth ends. That place is landmarked by those two evil towers you see in Moon. (And that is why Moon, in Rider Waite Tarot at least, is about ‘The Left-hand Path.’)
So the idea in Wheel of Fortune is that what happens in our lives is affected by destiny, fate, karma, fortune, luck and coincidence. Wheel of Fortune suggests that concept we hear about seizing the ‘brass ring’ of opportunity. It means opportunity and chance. And it means ‘it happens,’ ‘what happens,’ and synonyms like ‘occur’ and ‘event.’
Wheel of Fortune is the main ‘good luck’ card. For it to mean the bad side of destiny, you need some other heavy cards, usually more than one. In real Tarot life, you see Wheel of Fortune meaning: wonderful, miracle, windfall, to luck out, payoff, sudden money, happens for the best, and ‘one chance in a million.’ (This last phrase usually comes up with Seven of Cups.)
Wheel of Fortune of course is the gambling card. It even resembles a roulette wheel, so just maybe the miracle it brings you is winning a lottery.

Now Without The Pictures

Have we ever had all the cards be Major Arcanae before? Don’t know, but these particular ones have so much to say. Miracles happen (Wheel of Fortune) when you are free of (Fool) the physical world (Hierophant). And in the real physical world (Hierophant), anything at all (Fool) can happen (Wheel of Fortune). And when you are down-to-earth (Hierophant) and free-spirited too (Fool), here comes your miracle (Wheel of Fortune). Being honest (Hierophant) pays off (Wheel of Fortune) if you’re open-minded about it (Fool). I like that one! Being free (Fool) of the usual (Hierophant) assumptions (Fool) is the way to get rich (Wheel of Fortune). And good things happen (Wheel of Fortune) for no reason at all (Fool) when you are in good shape (Hierophant). People who don’t pay attention (Fool) to reality (Hierophant) have all the luck (Wheel of Fortune), which is like saying ‘God protects fools and drunks.’
Wheel of Fortune of course is all the ‘luck, miracle, payoff, and good things happening’ parts up there. Fool is all the ‘don’t know, being free and free-spirited, open-minded, not paying attention, and anything can happen’ parts. And the ‘physical, down-to-earth, usual, honest, in good shape, reality’ parts are Hierophant … who is playing straight man to the others … as usual.
This spread reminds me of how we wisely remark that someone’s overnight success took only five years of unremitting toil to achieve. It’s summed up in ‘Good things happen (Wheel of Fortune) for no reason at all (Fool) when you are in good shape (Hierophant).’
Note that Hierophant is good (so, good things), and Wheel of Fortune is ‘good things happen.’ In a given sentence, they are redundant (they echo).

Guidance There’s the real world; there’s our assumptions about it, and about ourselves in it; there’s agendas of other people, and our own agendas, some of which … and not all of which … we are aware of. So we go out into this real world that we cannot trust, and maybe cannot trust ourselves in. We mindlessly slip into routines and don’t pick up on something, we accept surface appearances without paying attention, and we don’t catch ourselves at some deceptive maneuver. Today our message is playing Devil’s Advocate about this sort of thing.
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’ (above) is a summary of what the cards are telling visitors to be aware of this day.
‘Group Tarot Cards Reading’ (just below this) is the actual word-for-word messages from the pictures of the four cards you see – to everyone. These readings are about you and the people around you. They are about today and the days around it. So, go ahead and pick the sentences you feel are yours and decide whether to encourage or reject them for yourself.

Tarot Readings: Playing it Straight (Six of Wands and Hierophant)
My new phase: getting real in a crooked world.
I just let people pretend they are straight.
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I usually am not paying attention.
I just assume they are okay when it appears that way
Something gets us to conform, to go along with the program, without even thinking.
Without even thinking that I’m only pretending, I play it straight.
An honest person’s subconscious works against that.
I go along with the program as if I don’t know any better.
Get free of the games by being factual.
Tricked into committing before I even knew it.
It’s perfectly okay to be open-minded when you can get away with it.
…………………………………………
Tarot Readings: Mindset About My Own Agenda (Six of Wands and Hierophant)
Mindset to just skip over that I’m faking it.
Not even thinking about the way things are – not admitting it to myself.
You have some agenda, some bad motive, as soon as you assume you are entitled.
I usually act as if I don’t worry.
I’m used to being considered respectable when I’m up to something.
I fit in, I look like I’m one of them; they do not suspect.
…………………………………………
Tarot Readings: Mindlessly Sucked Into Something (Six of Wands and Fool)
Such a straitlaced guy is tempted to slip up with a flirty little filly.
You think it’s real when you fool yourself.
Mindless routines suck us in.
I assume religious people are backstabbers.
The con artist is so respectable you never know.

Six of Wands – Hierophant – Fool
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
Hierophant is surface appearances, official reality (the acceptable face we, and our organizations, put on, that we all politely pretend to accept (or be considered uncivilized).
Six of Wands is deceit using those surface appearances and the pretenses that go along with them: the pretense with more of an agenda behind it than is tolerated.
Fool is the assumption, being unaware or oblivious. It also means to be free or free-spirited, unfettered and optimistic. It is the unconscious part of us too.
…….…..………………………. Six of Wands and Hierophant Six of Wands and Hierophant are the heart of our message. They say the con artist is so respectable. They say ‘Playing it straight in a crooked world.’ They state the routine, the rituals, suck us in. People pretending to be straight. It’s so real when you are fooling yourself. Here is the clash.
………..………………………… Six of Wands and Fool Six of Wands and Fool picture being oblivious to the corruption, not even thinking that person is out to get you, not admitting you are up to something. Your subconscious works against you, get free of that game, they say.

Six of Wands.………….. So why is Six of Wands such a complex and mistrustful fella? Well, pictured is the abduction (kidnapping) of King Richard Third by Arabs at the behest of the fella who was next in line for this throne. He was enticed into winning a battle that exposed him to the enemy. England never saw the king again. Appearances are deceiving, and friends are out to get you, and you are tricked into going with the program. Six of Wands, which is about bad inflluences, is a bad influence on its Tarot companions, every time.
Hierophant …………”A clean nose,” my daddy used to say, “indicates filth higher up.” Here we have the stinking righteousness. Its core meaning is that the surface routines in a culture have a different meaning for the inner circle which is in the know, and the public that supports them. Hierophant means being decent, behaving, conforming, the official story, committing, ordinary, normal and okay. It is in bad company today: Six of Wands is sitting on its ‘assumptions about surface appearances’ nuances.
Fool ………….Fool represents insight and the unconscious. Spring, optimism, and youth, too. It expresses the concept that one who lives through his higher self (the subconscious, for example) is free, unfettered, and immune to petty physical realities. It can mean faith as well as assumption and being oblivious. Many of its meanings clash just as ordinary life clashes with spiritual life.

Guidance There are pockets of places (still) where things are in order, are the way they are supposed to be, and where people do whatever they should. Often, these places are ruled by a traditional woman who has domestic managerial skills, who has that matriarchal presence. Her kids behave … is it out of self-defense? She has the genius to keep her corner of the world clean because she can, because it’s hers. She carries this presence of hers to the work world and the social world too. This woman has her own ways that she enforces irrespective of the zany world around her, which she largely disregards.

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
Hierophant and Three of Wands and Queen of Wands Nice normal things (Hierophant) are going to be happening (Three of Wands) in a nice orderly household (Queen of Wands). These are the core meanings of each of these Rider Waite Tarot Citizens that perfectly link together. So this is without a doubt our message.
Fool isn’t joining them. He isn’t a joiner, isn’t a member of anything. Fool is mainly assuming today, but he is famous for not paying attention, not being present, being oblivious, being free (or free of). Fool is lighthearted and optimistic.
Fool and Hierophant + Fool and Queen of Wands:
Fool is free of the rules or of the house rules
that Hierophant and Queen of Wands establish. Not that he rebels – that would be too much trouble; it’s that he is born free, is a free spirit, one of those maddening people who doesn’t get it because he is out in left field somewhere. Note that both Hierophant and Queen of Wands are about behaving oneself.
Fool and Three of Wands can always assume, will always be free, isn’t going to even think about it, and it’s just going to come. Fool’s meanings of ‘assume’ combine with Three of Wand’s focus on the future, which makes for ‘always’ and ‘going to’ phrases.

Hierophant Daddy used to say a clean nose indicates filth higher up. Hierophant is about keeping the nose clean, about the public face we, other humans, human groups and governments project, as contrasted to … oh, how we act when no one’s lookin’, when the cop car isn’t in sight on the road, when the politicians meet behind closed doors, about how lawyers keep jurors from knowing the very items they judge the value of a ‘case’ with. The official story is often an official pretense you have to believe if you’re a good guy. Hierophant, therefore, is about behaving yourself, respectability, about the rules or strictures that govern polite society. It is about doing no harm, being decent, meaning well. It also means ‘in the real physical world,’ ordinary or mundane, average, and acceptable. It’s kind of the realistic view of something, too.
How does this fit the illustration? – the contrast here is the public rituals and teachings of a church as opposed to what the theologians know and believe. ‘Hierophant’ means ‘pope.’
Three of Wands Your ships are coming in. This card today mainly refers to the future tense and to income. Money is coming in to the merchant on those ships in the illustration.
Fool “Oh, never mind.” Whatever. I’m off to see the wizard. Fool is not paying attention, not being present, being oblivious, being free (or free of), assuming. Fool is lighthearted and optimistic. Fool is free of the rules. The underlying meaning is the charmed life a very spiritual person leads. Things a spiritual slant on life lead you to do are foolish ‘in the real world’ (Hierophant world!), but work in that situation for that person. Hence, the fellow skipping off on a journey with no provisions, no luggage, and being mindless of the cliff nearby.
Queen of Wands But Queen of Wands makes the rules in her neck of the woods, in her home-place. Queen of Wands is also the main Wife card in Tarot Verbatim™. This is the Woman in Charge, whether home or business. She keeps her corner of the world clean, and you behave yourself in her house. Mama don’t allow … old folk song. This is the practical down-to-earth woman, the nurse or country woman maybe. The domestic assertive dame. She is pictured with a flower in one hand and a board in the other, and that alert look you associate with a schoolteacher or mama who knows what she is doing.
