Guidance

 
You get a little dizzy these days looking simultaneously at the way things are, and the way things really are. ‘The real physical world’ we say … even we who know the physical world isn’t all that real. Acting in the theater that we have agreed to call official reality limits our scope of experience, but act upon this surface we do. And today we also note that there are jokers who have their own version of the real world, and are ‘up to something’ using this three-dimensional reality sandwich we live in.

 

 

Could This Be You?

Picture this: You look at the cards in your spread.
You immediately get an idea because you know a few of them intimately.
AND you know a system that works because you have had a few

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

 

Sometime in your life (more than once), you have called upon yourself – in the presence of two people who each saw you in very different perspectives – to talk and act in such a way each of those people were comfortable. We suggest here that your normal day is like that – that you are one person to one set of folks, and yet another person to a few other sets. We step over these curbs all the time and think nothing of it, but, yes, we are negotiating and juggling several realities here. Think about that and appreciate your skill … and develop it.

Hierophant

Hierophant

Hierophant is about appearances, about ‘face,’ ‘face values,’ and – just like its meaning – it is a different character depending upon the company it is in. You see the pope doing a routine ritual with his usual helpers. Hierophant is about the distinction between what the ceremony means to the public, and to the theologians. The meanings about appearances rise from this deeper end of its pool of meanings. Looking good, seeming okay. It’s one of the cards that translates ‘good’ in various ways.

Normally, Hierophant means ‘normally’ – the usual, the routine, behaving oneself, being respectable and decent, being straight and sober, doing the right thing, ought, should, having good intentions. That stretches to include ‘safe’ and ‘no harm’ or ‘harmless.’ ‘Innocuous’ belong solidly to Hierophant.

Naturally, this is the card for church and religion. It makes a marriage card ‘holy matrimony,’ for instance.

Hierophant is associated with the word ‘physical,’ as is Page of Wands. Hierophant is about official reality, about certificates and titles and ‘on paper.’ It is one of the Tarot cards that can mean the name of something or someone (rarely – usually that’s Page of Wands). It means ‘committed’ too, which is (I guess) an outgrowth of the ‘official’ meanings. Committed couple is ‘an item.’

 

 

Six of Wands

Six of Wands

Seeing Hierophant in the company of Six of Wands alerts you to not take things at face value, because Six of Wands says: Things are not as they appear. And it’s a card that most readers (my opinion of course) miss its real meaning for what appears to be that. The horse is trying to tell you something!

Six of Wands is a false victory. Win the battle, lose the war. That’s what happened to an English king (Richard III, I believe). He won, and chased the invading Arabs into an ambush, and was their captive all his life thereafter.

One class of meanings for this complex Tarot card is all about pretense – similar to Two of Cups. (You hate to see Six of Wands and Two of Cups together, because something’s really up.) Here are some today’s Six of Wands words: Playing, pretending, seems, appears, fool yourself, go along with.

Six of Wands goes a little darker into deceit with these words sampled from today’s spread: sleazes, up to something, crook, seduce, has an agenda.

Six of Wands also looks at the same situation from the victim’s point of view with today’s words: tricked into, is misled.

Six of Wands also looks at the same situation as a circumstance rather than from one side or the other’s viewpoint with these phrases: due to circumstances beyond my control, so counterproductive, under the influence, is not in my best interest, unintended consequences, such reservations about.

 

Magician

Magician

Magician is one of the cards Tarot could do without, except for its ‘male principle’ status. That’s an esoteric thing, and Rider Waite is a Golden Dawn descendant. Male principle gives Magician its meanings. They are simple, so simple that in spreads Magician often gets lost in the verbs and pronouns other cards make. It mainly means ‘he’ and represents a (or the) guy in your spread’s story (as well as pronouns: I, myself, yourself, him, himself.

And Magician mainly means any form of ‘do’ or ‘make,’ as well as ‘to bring about,’ to bring down,’ etc. It also means ‘act,’ action,’ and forms of that word. Magician means willpower, and the will. (Magicians’ definition of magic is ‘will.’)

Magician is intentional, voluntary, action. It means to start, to volunteer, ‘voluntarily,’ voluntary, initiate.

You see the suits of Tarot on Magician’s table. He raises his right hand to heaven with his wand (will) to bring down what he wills. His left hand grounds the action to earth: He is pointing, see?

The way things are, and the way things seem to be: That is our environment here. Hierophant is the way things are, the official reality, the mainstream world view – the way things are and the way people think. Hierophant represents those four-letter words: should and ought. And here comes Six of Wands to say ‘Things are not as they appear.’ Magician is a bystander who tosses in male pronouns and action words from the sidelines.

The interplay between official reality and jokers who fool with it, and fool with us, is our theater of action. We don’t have a card that represents sane grounded bedrock reality here, but it’s kind of in the air making some distinctions.

The upshot of today’s Tarot talk is: In which reality is action happening? – or ‘In which reality are you acting?’

Tarot Readings for You for June 22-23, 2017 Thursday-Friday©

Here is a Tarot Verbatim™ Celtic Cross spread.  I accidentally used this form for this person’s Email Question.  Serendipity.  This spread is a good example of how there are 3 sentences in a Tarot Verbatim Celtic Cross layout, and how in Tarot Verbatim the similarity of the 3 sentences indicates the degree of accuracy of the reading.

Naturally, the client has agreed to share this story with you.

You can investigate these cards’ meanings by Googling them; you will get this site’s archives.  And you can get an answer to your question at the Email Reading navigation tab at the top of our site.

Email Reading 


The category of life is:: Love
My question is::
is he married or still in love with wife? and am i the only woman he is interested in? 

 

(1) Is he married or still in love with a wife?

 

He is committed to his marriage: His initiative, she is independent and single.

Magician

 

He is – Magician

 

 

Hierophant

 

committed – Hierophant

 

 

Magician

actively; it’s his initiative – Magician

 

 

 

Four of Wands

to his marriage – Four of Wands

 

 

+

Nine of Pentacles

 

And she is single and independent, content by herself. – Nine of Pentacles

I drew a fourth card on impulse, and it neatly tells you this isn’t a legal wife, that she is a single woman. She is content, so this isn’t a demanding ex.

 

(2) Am I the only woman he is interested in [other than Ms. Nine of Pentacles]?

 

 

First Sentence(s) 

[Emperor looks like a truck driver here! A truck driver controls his world while he’s in the cab of his truck. The Self card represents him, the subject of your question.]

He is the boss in his sedentary controlling way, and he is proud to be flirting to (talking to) a strong woman who can handle him.

Emperor

 

He is the Boss in his sedentary controlling way – Emperor (Card 1. Self)

 

 

Page of Wands 

and he is proud to be flirting with, talking to – Page of Wands  (Card 2. Situation)

 

 

Strength

 

an equally strong boss woman who can keep him in line. – Strength (Card 3. Crux/Situation)

 

 

 

He has always been and always will be the Italian Stallion/Studmuffin/Player.

Ten of Wands

 

He has always been – Ten of Wands (Card 4. Foundation)

 

 

King of Pentacles

 

and always will be the sexy man/player, the manipulative fellow. – King of Pentacles (Card 5. Future)

 

 

He is doing right, and he is entitled to, and he should have a sweet li’l gal at her home to be romantic with.

Justice

It’s right to, and he is entitled to, and he should – Justice (Card 6. Behind)

 

 

 

Six of Cups

 

be romantic with a sweet li’l gal at her home. – Six of Cups (Card 7. Ahead)

 

 

 

Second Sentence  

I just can’t do without (would be miserable) a good solid home life with a partner.”

Eight of Swords

 

 I just can’t – Eight of Swords (Card 8. Second Self)

 

 

Five of Pentacles

 

 be without (I would be miserable) – Five of Pentacles (Card 9. Situation / Environment)

 

 

Four of Wands 

a good solid home life with a ‘marriage’ partner. – Four of Wands (Card 10. Crux / Problem )

 

 

 

Third Sentence  – Outcome

It’s just as if he is back with his estranged wife who is also doing fine without him.

Six of Wands

 

It’s just as if – Six of Wands

 

 

Judgement

 

he is back with – Judgment

 

 

Queen of Swords

 

his estranged wife – Queen of Swords

 

 

Nine of Pentacles

 

who is also doing fine without him. – Nine of Pentacles

 

 

Emily adds:

I did not plan to put the fourth card on your first question; it just slipped out. And it created the whole reading which expresses perfectly the ‘wife in every port’ concept. Your fellow is very comfortable being a polygamist! Tarot says. I note he is ‘committed to his marriage,’ and his marriage is ‘her home.’ That’s the way I read this anyway.

And I did not plan to use Celtic Cross for your reading. That just slipped out too. But it really flows. And the Emperor as a truck driver is perfect, and new.

You can check the meanings of each card, or any pair, by Googling them.

And, by the way: In Tarot Verbatim, when the three sentences of the spread are parallel, it’s an indication of accuracy. The more accurate, the more they say the same thing.

Tarot Readings for You for August 31, 2013 Saturday(c)

Guidance     Advice is making the distinction between being right and being moral, between being of good repute and doing right by others, giving everyone his due.   In the same way, it makes the distinction between the pay scale for the work and the actual work done for the actual pay.  Such disparities are the norm, we say.   They don’t pay you for doing what you are supposed to.   Doing the accepted thing isn’t doing the right 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 that day.

 

‘Group Analytical Tarot Cards Reading’ (just below this) is the actual word-for-word messages 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.

 

Did you come here for your predictions? –  You are done now –  See you tomorrow. The family of commenters here would love for you to join in (the very last, at the bottom).

Now,  Part Two,

 

Do you want to know a little, or a lot, about how this Tarot Verbatim™ thing works? If so,

 

*Go to Learn Tarot by Observing section below. This tells about the combined four pictures in the Tarot Readings –  the pictures above here.  It explains how these four cards get together in your mind to make the message.

 

*Go to Learn Tarot by the Pictures.  It is what each of the four cards,  by itself,  has to say.  It shows you how that illustration makes that card’s meanings in today’s Spread. All the words of each Tarot card reading you see here are a phrase-by-phrase translation of the scene pictured on those cards: no filler, no psychic impressions, no spirit guide. Word-for-word Tarot Verbatim™.

 

You can put all this together and intuitively see yourself how Tarot Verbatim ™ works.

 

This is a group reading, with no Questioner and no Question to limit what the cards say, so there’s more variety – even contractions – and also the pronouns are more flexible. If it feels like it’s yours, and it says ‘he,’ and you’re a ‘she,’ feel free to adopt it.

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

.

Right away, we have a contrast between doing right by people and/or being treated right by them in the Six of Pentacles story, and the appearance of doing right in Hierophant story. Hierophant (the pope) contrasts the official story (what you learn in Sunday school, the public version of a belief system) and what cognoscenti of that church believe. (Read some textbooks theologians write for other such folks, and you will see this matter in detail.) So Hierophant is ‘the official story,’ the news that’s fit to print. It is about being moral, being respectable, being accepted. (Yes, at times it translates ‘decent’ and harmless or safe, too.)

 

Since Six of Pentacles is getting paid for work done, and Eight of Cups is something aborted or avoided, we have a financial theme too.

 

Magician tells us this spread will be about doing, about actions. Eight of Cups tells us the story is about action not being completed, something being avoided or ducked out on or walked away from.

 

So in the middle we have getting paid. To the left, appropriately and according to the paperwork. To the right, something isn’t finished or doesn’t happen, or doesn’t happen fully. Above, something is done. You can put these together your way, yourself, if you would like to try.

 

 

LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES

.

Hierophant is the show, the outward trappings, of religion. That is the pope in his regalia and the priests in theirs, so it is about church, but can refer to the show of any organization or governmental body or religion. It can refer to the show of morallity or religiosity or hypocrisy. (And you don’t have to be Christian to be a hypocrite!) It means the accepted moral conventional whatever, and also means ordinary, normal and ‘no harm.’ ‘For appearance’s sake’ is a good key phrase for this Rider Waite Tarot card. Hierophant is about respectability, about looking clean (‘having a clean nose’). It is a nice normal decent-looking whatever. It is the accepted whatever, is approved, is official. It sometimes means ‘on paper,’ where a certificate makes something valid or legal.

 

 

Six of Pentacles is doing right by others, giving others their due, paying the appropriate attention to anything. It is getting paid fairly or paying a fair price, illustrated literally by an employer weighing the coins he is paying the workers.

.

 

Eight of Cups abruptly is off the designated route – in this case because the road could go no other way. It means incompletion, detour, re-routing, dropping out, not finishing, quitting, changing your route and changing your ways. It is a turn.

 

 

Magician is the active principle, the male principle. It is the act of, doing – any tense of the verb ‘do’ and most tenses of ‘make.’ Magician also means ‘to bring about’ or bring down. No planning or thinking is involved per se in this card’s meaning, just as no action meanings are involved in the Rider Waite card that means the female principle, High Priestess.

*Go to Daily Message Tarot Analysis below. One or more of those sentences has something to say to you. Pick those out. They are about you and the people around you. They are about today and the days around it. (It is a group message like a horoscope, except Tarot isn’t based on someone else’s birth data, so it can be specific, accurate, detailed and direct.

The Question for weekdays is: “Tell the visitors here something useful and meaningful to them. The Question for weekends is stated right on top on those days.

Without a question to focus the answer, four cards can mean contradictory things especially when the Spread has a card that negates other cards. Without a question also the pronouns in a group reading are more flexible, especially in some of these Rider Waite Tarot spreads. When a pronoun is in parentheses, feel very free to substitute.

MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: INDIVIDUAL RIDER WAITE TAROT CARDS

 

Hierophant is the show of religion. That is the pope in his regalia and the priests in theirs, so it is about church, but can refer to the show of any religion, or religiosity or hypocrisy. (And you don’t have to be Christian to be a hypocrite!) It means the accepted moral conventional whatever, and also means ordinary, normal and ‘no harm.’ ‘For appearance’s sake’ is a good key phrase for this Rider Waite Tarot card. Hierophant is about respectability, about looking clean (‘having a clean nose’). It is a nice normal decent-looking whatever. It is the accepted whatever, is approved, is official.

 

Six of Pentacles, on the other hand is doing right by others, giving others their due, paying the appropriate attention to anything. It is getting paid fairly or paying a fair price, illustrated literally by an employer weighing the coins he is paying the workers.

 

Eight of Cups abruptly is off the designated route – in this case because the road could go no other way. It means incompletion, detour, re-routing, dropping out, not finishing whatever.

Our Daily Spread for July 1, 2011

Advice is that perspective rules: The relationship of what you think to what you do. You decide to avoid doing the usual thing in the routine way, and you do it your own unique creative way. Or, you see that ‘you ain’t doin’ it right’ and follow the instructions. Or you see you are not doing right in the moral sense, and change your ways. The contrast is whether to depart from the usual, the routine, the proper the orthodox. Neither choice is preferable or right all the time. =========================================================================

Is this the first time you come here? Well … what to do:

*Go to Daily Message Tarot Analysis below. At least one of those sentences has something to say to you. Pick those out. They are about you and the people around you. They are about today and the days around it. (It is a group message like a horoscope, except Tarot isn’t based on someone else’s birth data, so it can be specific, accurate, detailed and direct. Our experiment here is “How much more accurate is it?”)

The Question for weekdays is: “Tell the visitors here something useful and meaningful to them.”

The Question for weekends is stated right on top on those days. Comment or call if you have a suggestion for a question.

(Some days are ‘keep an eye open for’ and some days are ‘green light, go fast.’)

*Go to Advice to apply what those sentences say (in the best way) for you. (Advice is everyone’s favorite part.) Did you come here for your predictions? – You are done now – See you tomorrow.

Without a question to focus the answer, four cards can mean contradictory things especially when the Spread has a card that negates other cards. Without a question also the pronouns in a group reading are more flexible, especially in some of these Rider Waite Tarot spreads. When a pronoun is in parentheses, feel very free to substitute. The question in a ‘real’ individual reading supplies at least half the information!

======================================================================== Hierophant Knight of Pentacles, Magician, Six of Swords DAILY MESSAGE TAROT ANALYSIS Tell the visitors here something useful and meaningful to them. Creative Thinking Perspective First keep the usual ways to do this in mind, and then depart from there! Most importantly, just avoid doing what everybody else is doing. Getting yourself/himself out of mindsets is the first order of importance. He isn’t doing what the average macho guy does anymore. When you get past the phase of how it’s supposed to be done, you focus on your own way to do it. He deliberately avoids orthodox activities. A whole different perspective or ‘slant’ on doing the same thing. Yes, he makes up his mind to depart from the norm. He studiously avoids rote actions or rituals. Keep your mind on what you are doing, avoid protocol (doing it the usual way). He is a tough guy whose actions are out of the ordinary. Conformity Perspective Now that that’s over, you know the right way to do it! Think about how it will look (your reputation) before you do it. He comes to realize he isn’t doing what he is supposed to anymore. Yes, you know this is not the way it’s supposed to be done. He is deciding from now on to go straight (do what is acceptable). He sees the proper way to go to get it done. ======================================================================== Now, Part Two,

I analyze business situations and personal relationships accurately from both Tarot and practical perspectives, and even make it fun. (Testimonials are on the web site. Just click the link.)

========================================================================= Meanings and Illustrations: Observation of the Spread We have four unrelated cards, no theme, but they express pretty much the same thing. Knight of Pentacles is focus, the most important, deliberately. Magician is acting, doing. Both these cards are very male oriented. Then we have putting it behind and going off in another direction, or avoiding. Then we have the Hierophant (pope) – the usual way, orthodoxy, protocol, the way it’s supposed to be or is accepted. The main idea you get from this cafeteria is to do it your own way and avoid protocol, to have a different idea. But of course it reads the reverse way as well – to quit what you are doing and do right or do (it) the right way. The moral of the story here is: Perspective rules. Meanings and Illustrations: Individual Rider Waite Tarot Cards Knight of Pentacles is focus, to have one thing on your mind, the most important. It is also deliberate, aforethought. As a person, this is a touch guy, a macho man. This is the short dark fella on the short dark horse. Magician is the male principle: action. Conjugate the verb ‘to do,’ and go on with the verb ‘make.’ To bring about, to bring down. Illustration is the male magician in the act of making something happen (or not happen) with his wand. Six of Swords is to head off out of here for a better life, another direction. To avoid. We aren’t using its other meanings today. Illustration in Rider Waite Tarot is a mother and child leaving a bad scene with the help of a friend who has a boat. Hierophant: It’s all about behaving, doing right, following procedures, ritual, rote, the way things are supposed to be, the rigid mentality. The picture is the pope which is what ‘Hierophant’ means.
