Got to have what you want and are entitled to?: Go after it, chase.
Pursues with great energy the one he really wants, who is right for him.

The legal victory you want comes quickly.
He did what he had to to get rich quick legally.

Here is advice to strike while the iron is hot, advice to take advantage of opportunity, to seize the day.
What you really, really want is at hand, under your nose, so reach out and grab onto it. ‘Justice’ says you should and you gotta do this. So, keep your eye peeled for that happy circumstance. From my typing fingers to the ear of God’s executive secretary, the one who keeps his appointment book.

These four Tarot cards have disparate (different from one another) meanings, so the stories they can make are many, and the phrases that arise from pairs of them are diverse and many as well. I guarantee you you can find some I didn’t by taking the phrases arising from single cards and recombining them … which is what Tarot Verbatim is all about.
The four concepts which/who appear here are, in order of appearance: You have to/force or enforce (Ace of Swords), pursue/chase (Knight of Wands), get what you want/to desire (Nine of Cups) and Justice/should/entitlement (Justice). Phrases such as ‘you have to pursue,’ (Ace of Swords with Knight of Wands), ‘law enforcement,’ (Ace of Swords with Justice), ‘pursue what you want’ (Knight of Wands with Nine of Cups), ‘the good life you deserve,’ (Nine of Cups with Justice) arise from these combinations.

Meanings and Illustrations:

Ace of Swords: This Rider Waite Tarot card shows a hand with a weapon in it, a crown of victory over the sword tip. It means phrases like: make him/it/etc., have/has to, got to, win, victory, the one, only, force/weapons, enforced, enforcement, forces him, guaranteed, even ‘certain’ or sure thing.

Knight of Wands: The picture shows a partially-armored fellow brandishing his weapon (a club) as he rides fast through desolate terrain, suggesting going from one town to another. It calls for words such as chase, hurry, pursue/pursue/with great energy/hot pursuit, get moving, move or transfer to another town, running from, fast, comes quickly/quick, leave town in a hurry, hurry up, speed, and go after it.

Nine of Cups: He done et tha’ whole thang. The picture shows a fat rich man who ate and drank to excess and is glad to have done so. It is one of the simple cards with few and reliable meanings that you can use as an anchor card when you put down your spread and are initially figuring out what it is talking about. Phrases it raises are get the __ you want/get what you want, satisfaction, what you desire, the good life, what you wish for, to be well off, a lot of money, you’ve got to have, got all that money, get rich and loves to. Pretty simple, huh?

Justice: I want this card in a stained glass window! Anyone? A sword in one hand and the scales of justice in the other? – I can relate to that. You? Another simple card with few phrases, mainly: should, in the right way, entitled, right, legally, as it should be, law legal, justice, sue and police. It is a weak marriage card.

Don’t let anything rock your world!

World
Queen of Swords, Eight of Pentacles, Seven of Wands

Business Perspective:
No harm comes of you being confronted at work with something you are not comfortable with.
You push yourself to do this work, feeling like complaining … but you act like it doesn’t get to you.
Just put a bubble around yourself and do your routine: Some mouthy dude is going to annoy you.
You ignore a bitch at work who is sooo pushy.
He keeps trying to ‘get to you,’ to make you mad, but ‘you don’t know him.’

Well, there is no romance here! None, nada. That is because the first spread tells you about luv, up there. This one is pretty straightforward. It tells you to keep your cool under pressure, mostly at work, of someone who is very annoying and trying to get a rise out of you. Advice is to act like he isn’t doing that and he isn’t even there.

Meanings and Illustrations:

Queen of Swords: It isn’t fair. She isn’t getting what she deserves, what is fair. As a matter of fact, she is a bitch perhaps, and/or she is pissed perhaps. I like to put “Now would be good” regarding her outstretched hand, the other hand having the weapon at the ready. Today, she is being purposefully annoyed by some fellow who wants to rattle her cage.

Eight of Pentacles: Well, he is working, he is making one of those carvings after another with his hammer and chisel. He is into the groove of his routine, right there in between two Rider Waite Tarot cards that say ‘aggravation and pressure.’

Seven of Wands: Oh, God, spare me! Here come the hypermouth, the pushy s.o.b., the mouthy adolescent, the dude on his soapbox, the disruptor of the peace. He accuses. He wants the keys to the car and he isn’t about to buy the gas. He intends to annoy and anger you or he is not a happy camper.

World: This is advice to put your defenses up and to blithely ignore whatever bad juju the environment offers today. You are the superior person, you do not lower yourself to interact with the ruffian who aims to rock the boat this morning. The World card screams “Don’t let it get to you!” It shows a figure with two wands (“Master of Both Worlds” in occult circles.) who is dancing to her own drummer as a bunch of jokers want to intrude … but she has shut them out, she doesn’t know them.
