Tarot Readings for You for May 5, 2014 Monday(c)
Guidance We are not born enlightened; we are born ignorant, with potentials and inclinations. We earn every bit of emotional intelligence, even if we start out with a knack for it. The price of emotional intelligence or enlightenment is (1) the discomforts of realizing what it is that we are ignorant of, and (2) the process of – piece by piece – changing ourselves to be what we have seen in our peak experience. Well, that process is a kind of misery, an angst in itself, which we call Dark Night of the Soul. Some people call the whole routine ‘The Great Work,’ some people call it salvation, some people call it enlightenment. Some people call it growing up. It doesn’t care what we call it; it calls upon us without words because it is beyond our languages.
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: Ups and Downs of a Spiritual Life (Five of Pentacles and Judgment)
Going from disillusionment to enlightenment as I receive input a piece at a time.
How one person after another gives me my due or drains me is my wakeup call.
I recover from one miserable exchange after another.
After a high point (peak experience) I cycle into the doldrums of dark night of the soul before I receive its payoff.
Sometimes I’m so down-and-out miserable I need treatment to change that.
Tarot Readings: Money when you Need it Most (Five of Pentacles and Six of Pentacles)
I keep losing money, and the next paycheck revives me.
The payments are bankrupting me but I make that next one each time.
Every time I’m dead broke, one more bit of cash comes into my hands.
A steady paycheck is a life-changer in poor times.
It’s a surprise every time someone gives me something I really need.
Tarot Readings: Giving for a Cause (Judgment and Six of Pentacles)
My reward is when each and every stray on the street gets a new life.
The joy of giving to people who need it keeps me going.
I kept sacrificing until I got the new life I earned.
It took a lot out of me to change but I kept at it until it paid off.
I keep donating to make a change where it’s needed the most.
Tarot Readings: Cycles are the Price (Two of Pentacles and Six of Pentacles)
Cycles of misery give me a new self.
I get it: The ups and downs are reward and punishment.
You get each new life when you wear out the old one.
The price of a new level of awareness is: going through each of my ignorances.
Every time I realize how misguided I am, I pay attention and do the right thing.
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 messages.
*Go to Learn Tarot by 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 contradictions – 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 anyway.
Six of Pentacles
Five of Pentacles – Judgment – Two of Pentacles

.
Just at a glance you can see this spread is mainly about the process of realizing I am in the dark as I am given what I deserve. The process of (Two of Pentacles ) realizing (Judgment ) that I am in the dark (Five of Pentacles ) as I am given what I deserve (Six of Pentacles ).
Five of Pentacles and Judgment Disillusionment and enlightenment. A new life for the stray on the street. Being lost and awakening. The wake up call of hitting bottom. Dark Night of the Soul and the Peak Experience. Recovery from bankruptcy or disease. Life-changing poor times. How much it takes out of you to change your path, your ways. Waking up to how ignorant I have been or am. We are looking at first a picture of desperate homeless hungry injured people in a blizzard oblivious to a hot meal and a warm bed inside that building, contrasted with a picture of dead people coming to life when the angel blows the trumpet. How plain can it get?
Two of Pentacles and Six of Pentacles The other pair of Rider-Waite Tarot cards are about a process, cycle, or one thing after another, Two of Pentacles, and, in Six of Pentacles, getting what one deserves, or an exchange between people. The juggler’s routine of the same movements over and over is combined with the idea of receiving the pay for the work you did. These two cards describe the way you keep being treated, for instance. The exchanges you have with others over and over. They say ‘What comes around goes around,’ and describe karma as ‘getting back what you give.’
Five of Pentacles and Six of Pentacles Punishment and reward, here. Doing without in misery and desperation is punishment in Five of Pentacles. Receiving the reward for what you did is Six of Pentacles. Being unemployed versus getting a paycheck is another application of these two cards in Tarot Verbatim™.
Two of Pentacles and Judgment both include the idea of ‘next,’ with Two of Pentacles involved in repeating sequences, and Judgment most often meaning simply a repeat of the previous one. Six of Pentacles means ‘next’ once in a while too, and that makes three of our four cards mean that one thing.

Five of Pentacles Cold and hungry, frostbitten in a blizzard, and they walk right past the place that would feed them because they are numb. Five of Pentacles is about lack and being in the dark, about misery and being injured or ill. Hopeless because they cannot see the way out. Disillusioned. The low point, being drained, and it takes a lot out of me.
Judgment Awakening to new life, new level of awareness, wake up call, enlightenment, the new chapter … the next phase. Those are the meanings we use today for Judgment.
Two of Pentacles refers to a cycle, a phase, to doing something over again, to the next round, the routine. It is about movements too: up and down, back and forth, circular, rocking, etc. Two of Pentacles also means going from one state to another – phrases like either/or, before and after, etc.
Six of Pentacles The idea of receiving pay for work is expanded into getting what you deserve, payback, making payments, getting treatment, to receive a piece at a time, and even ‘input.’ Its other meanings lie unused on the shelf today.

========================================================================= Is this the first time you come here? Well … what to do: *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. Our experiment here is “How much more accurate is it?”) *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. 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 if there is one. 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! ======================================================================== Judgment Five of Cups, Two of Pentacles, Queen of Cups DAILY MESSAGE TAROT ANALYSIS Tell the visitors here something useful and meaningful to them. Disillusion and Disappointment One disappointment after another changes her mind. She loves him even as things keep going back to the sad old way the used to be. She knows this, and she may or may not get over sad thoughts of the past. She thinks he will change, and keeps being disappointed. She keeps reminding herself he is a loser. She regrets it and then does the same thing over again. It’s one bad news after another but she has faith. She may or may not fail to change. Looking back from the better place … When the past comes back, she thinks of her new life. She knows there’s one loss after another on the way to recovery. Now that she has recovered, she can think of how unstable she was. She keeps regretting the past when her life is so new now. She has gotten away from feeling sorry for herself into a new mentality. She has a whole new humorous way of thinking about the sorry past with that guy. Her frame of mind is changing her past, progressively. She sees her way out of cyclic depression into a new phase. A man’s gotta do … He is sorry his woman is a silly blond again. He felt lost and is going back to the loyal, comfortable woman who believes in him. He misses the woman who thinks so much of him and he is going back to her again. Lose a good woman or a sweet gal, you’re on to the next. It hits him that he keeps going back to the blond, he misses her. He keeps feeling sorry for such a sweet gal and going back to her. He is always sorry when he goes back to her, but he keeps on doing it. The mourning continues until a new wife is a new life. ======================================================================== Now, Part Two, Do you want to know a little, or a lot, about how this Tarot Verbatim ™ thing works? If so, *Go to Meanings and Illustrations: Observation of the Spread section below. This tells about the combined four pictures in the Daily Spread – the pictures above here. It explains how these four cards get together to mean things. *Go to Meanings and Illustrations: Individual Rider Waite Tarot Cards. It is what each of the four cards, by itself, has to say.

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 here.) ========================================================================= MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: OBSERVATION OF THE SPREAD We don’t have a theme, per se, here. The closest we come to it is Two of Pentacles being getting out of one end of a phase and into the beginning of another, and Judgment meaning a change and a new phase or new life. Five of Cups will always be preoccupation with the past in a depressing way, missing someone, mourning someone or something, melancholy, a sense of loss, a loss you don’t get over, the kind of mood that doesn’t care what is still there for you, you just want what you had. Queen of Cups is thinking, thinking of her man – usually with naïve faith in her heart – which kind of goes along with the other cards. Naïve faith tends to involve disappointment and recovery; doesn’t it? MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: INDIVIDUAL RIDER WAITE TAROT CARDS Five of Cups will always be preoccupation with the past in a depressing way, missing someone, mourning someone or something, melancholy, a sense of loss, a loss you don’t get over, the kind of mood that doesn’t care what is still there for you, you just want what you had. This is one of the cards a newbie could pull from the deck and know exactly what it means. A black robed figure with a bowed head, gray sky, spilled wine … how many hints do ya need? Two of Pentacles is getting out of one end of a phase and into the beginning of another, as well as continuing, oscillating in some cycle. It also means a lightheartedness, even silliness. You can see the ships tossed up and down, the juggling going round and round, the ‘eternity’ mathematical symbol. Again, how many hints do ya need? Queen of Cups is so blond. She dreamily contemplates some artifact, all dressed up in white, with water (emotion) swirling around her seat. This is the true believer of the female persuasion. Judgment is the new phase of life, the realization, the big news, the big announcement, the change or shift. People coming out of their coffins to the trumpet of an angel … like I said, how many hints … All the material on this blog is copyrighted.
