Guidance is about avoiding open confrontation and instead winning over the opposition, finessing the situation, using strategies more native to females. A deft touch, a soothing sentence or two, staying silent in the background: These are ways to win this particular conflict, we are saying. The strategy is also described in its romantic application: She’s got control of the big ole lion when he was purring and is wise to his deceits.

Eight of Wands
High Priestess – Six of Wands – Strength
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
High Priestess and Strength together in a four-Tarot card spread says this is about feminine wiles. High Priestess is She Who Knows All and Strength is the woman who finesses the situation without confronting, who tames her opposition with deft strokes.
Well – as if that were not enough emphasis on a theme – Six of Wands shows up, a third ‘pull it off without seeming to, by strategy’ factor.
Eight of Wands today mainly makes plurals. It means ‘quickly’ and it means ‘talk,’ but only once each in today’s messages.
Six of Wands and Strength are both about winning a battle without overt confrontation.
So this has to be about a woman who knows many ways to get her agenda accomplished without making waves.

High Priestess is She Who Knows. It refers to the Feminine Principle of being receptive rather than active, being in Theory Mode. She stays put, she is the lady, is quietly in the background. Those are its meanings we use today. The concept is illustrated by a seated woman with all sorts of Kabbalah symbols behind her, wearing an occult crown of some sort and having a spiritual book in her lap.
Six of Wands is sneaky, has an agenda or is an agenda. Betrayal of others, getting others to serve your interests, the false victory or false flag operation. Illustrated is a battle in which King Richard III was kidnapped by Arabs and held captive forever while some imposter who arranged the Pyrrhic victory sat upon his throne.
Strength is about winning without the battle, just getting the opposition to go along with your program … about finessing a situation. Pictured in Rider Waite Tarot is a lady who is petting the lion that intends to attack but feels so good right now. ‘She can handle’ is a frequent phrase for this Tarot citizen in Tarot Verbatim™.
Eight of Wands is being a pluralizer in almost every sentence here today. I deliberately inserted one that referred to talking when I noticed that. Its illustration shows sticks flying through the air, which expresses its meaning of ‘quickly.’ Bad illustration, I say.
EXPLANATIONS: [Use the arrow at lower right to skip this and go to Comments.]
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(TM).
In these group readings, there’s no question (and no Questioner) to limit what the four cards can mean, so they can mean opposite things.
When there is a negative-meaning card (a ‘negator,’ I call them), the readings contradict one another because that card can make any of the other cards in the spread negative. Negator cards mean things like: no, never, not, end, can’t, etc. Never be queasy about the number of ‘bad’ card because it takes two bad cards to say ‘not dead’ and only one to say ‘dead.’
Without a question or a Questioner, pronouns (I, you, he, she, we, they, etc.) are very flexible. I leave out pronouns in writing this as much as possible – awkward to do that sometimes. When I put them in parentheses, feel very free to change them around to suit yourself.
Now in a ‘real’ individual reading, the questioner asks a specific question which provides at least half the information! In an individual’s reading, the parties are identified and sometimes a time frame is too. Here, in a group reading, we cannot do that and so we get more 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 want you to know this!)
Tarot successfully addresses the group of visitors, whoever they are. It provides useful information that applies to their daily lives: They tell you this in the comments, for three years now. Tarot can tell you things about people you don’t know personally – such as whoever on your job has a say in your raise or continued employment there, whether that is one person or many. Visitors report that the information is equally accurate for new visitors as it is for the family of regular visitors.
Do you want to read Rider Waite Tarot, yourself? Start with Learn Tarot by Pictures to get the day’s cards’ individual meanings; then read Learn Tarot by Observation, which gives you the thinking those four cards inspire in a qualified reader. Next, Group Analytical Tarot Cards Reading is the various things those four cards can say (without a question to guide them). Then, Guidance is a summary.
In this way, your intuition allows you to learn to read the cards without much effort if you come often enough. Regular visitors can just put it together.
