Tarot Readings for You for February 21, 2013 Thursday(c)

Four Card Spreads, Guidance, Tarot Verbatim

Guidance Here we are in a neighborhood bar with a country boy and his women friends. This is a working-class neighborhood where people have much in common and know one another. It’s an ordinary day, and everybody likes the wild man. He can unite the neighborhood, we say. He is married and has a family but all the gals know him and it’s a decent, respectable scene.

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.

King of Wands

Hierophant – Ten of Cups – Three of Cups

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

Two of our four Rider Waite Tarot cards are about getting together and being happy, about having a good time, about celebrating; and both of those are also about prosperity.

Ten of Cups is ‘happily ever after,’ the good people, the neighborhood, being married, the family, a fine home, married with children … the American dream, we used to call it.

Three of Cups is the same feeling and the same whiff of prosperity, but not being family. It is camaraderie, having a good times with friends, sharing the labor and the profit of an enterprise, girl friends (either they are all friends, or they are all a fellow’s girl friends).

Hierophant is about normal, ordinary levels of things. It is about the surface fit-to-print decent appearances of anything: the face we show our public, and the respectable version of the story the public is shown. It is the average, accepted, middle of the road (whatever). It also means the ‘holy’ of holy matrimony when modifying a marriage card, and ‘committed’ when modifying a relationship card.

King of Wands is the husband, the married man, the country boy, the ordinary man, the wild or passionate man. He is an outgoing, extroverted fellow. Color him the classic redhead with that temper, which is delineated by the salamander in ancient times because there was this idea that salamanders emitted fire. With all these joyous and acceptable cards around him, he isn’t being some of his rougher meanings today.

Here we are in a neighborhood bar with a country boy and his women friends. This is a working-class neighborhood where people have much in common and know one another. It’s an ordinary day, and everybody likes the wild man. He can unite the neighborhood, we say. He is married and has a family but all the gals know him and it’s a decent, respectable scene.

LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES

Hierophant The pope (Hierophant means pope.) is doing some ritual here in the illustration, and the main meaning is about the difference between what the public is to understand about these doings, and what their real import (to those in the know) is. So Hierophant is about normal, ordinary levels of things. It is about the surface fit-to-print decent appearances of anything: the face we show our public, and the respectable version of the story the public is shown. It is the average, accepted, middle of the road (whatever). It also means the ‘holy’ of holy matrimony when modifying a marriage card, and ‘committed’ when modifying a relationship card.

Ten of Cups Here’s a couple, married with children, conforming to ‘the American dream’ with the house on the golf course, the boy-and-girl children, living happily ever after. A rainbow over their roof. Ten of Cups is about the good people of the community, the good neighborhood, unity, and about being family. It also means plain old happiness, any flavor.

Three of Cups Sharing. Camaraderie, sharing the good time or times. Being out on a date. Sharing in the labor and in the profit of an enterprise, still friends after the proceeds are split. This is about prosperity and happiness. This is about meeting with friends. This is about supporting one another. This is about girlfriends.

King of Wands is the husband, the married man, the country boy, the ordinary man, the wild or passionate man. He is an outgoing, extroverted fellow. Color him the classic redhead with that temper, which is delineated by the salamander in ancient times because there was this idea that salamanders emitted fire. With all these joyous and acceptable cards around him, he isn’t being some of his rougher meanings today.

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.

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
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.
