King of Cups – Seven of Swords – Lovers

Guidance

Does love hurt as bad as crime? We explore this strange concept along the lines of betrayal and vulnerability. Steal my wallet … or steal my heart. A good man is taking a chance on love, the same sort of good man who can get away with crime. You can have a sneaky partner in business or in love, you know? And you can have a partner in crime as well as a partner in love, hopefully not at the same time.

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

We compare the thrill and the risk of love with the thrill and risk of crime. We compare being cheated on in love to getting even or revenge. Emotions … similar emotional experience … are common to both, and Tarot is pointing that out. Risk – the risk of losing something – is what these scenarios have in common. Featured in the stories is the good man who is the quiet type in love, and also the good man who can get away with murder in crime. Betrayal is also common to both scenarios often enough: Your partner can betray you in money or in love (or both). We even point out governments are your involuntary partner.

King of Cups

King of Cups in his picture – as I see him – has the perfect expression for his meanings. You can see him as the quiet fellow, the drinking man, the lover-not-the-fighter, the vulnerable man, and even the pencil pusher – the fellow with a desk job or the bureaucrat. These are most of his meanings, although King of Cups can be government itself, any level of any of them. The water around him indicates emotion … and it surrounds him.

Seven of Swords

Seven of Swords shows a fellow who is hotfooting it out of enemy camp with all of their weapons that he can carry, and he is carrying them blade down in his bare hands (Duh!), which indicates he is potentially self destructive rather than just being a hero of the conflict. He certainly has the guts to pull it off, which is a major meaning of Seven of Swords. He is also the traitor (One man’s hero is another man’s terrorist, you know.) He is sneaky, which makes him ‘sneaking around’ and betraying his lover in romance spreads. Violation of trust belongs to Seven of Swords, along with ‘traitor’ and ‘double-cross.’ And he is also revenge. Revenge is heedless of consequences quite often, so the blades-in-my-bare-hands might be hinting at that motive.

At any rate, this is a card that appears way less frequently than random distribution, and when you find it on your table, do take a good look.

Lovers

Lovers has so many elements in its illustration. You have Adam and Eve – a couple, two people together, partners in love – upfront. Between them in the background is a volcano – passion, an eruption of any sort, or literally a volcano. You have that funky angel overlooking them who doubles as both surveillance and protection – and the protection includes insurance coverage meanings. Lovers mainly means a connection (of any kind at all) and partners (any kind at all, including love partners).

Now Without The Pictures

The main topic here is taking a chance on love, because King of Cups is the emotional and emotionally available man, is your honey, is the gentleman or the mild-mannered good guy; and Lovers is a love (or other) connection; and Seven of Swords is most definitely taking a chance. Since Seven of Swords is such a strong (and usually dastardly) card, it tends to dominate its spreads. However, it means gutsy things too – taking a chance, daring, risque and risk. So we have a good emotional connection on some thin ice. Stories.

King of Cups has few meanings, but does have a spectrum. His main application is the good man, the emotional man, the emotionally available man, her honey, the patient and easygoing fellow, Walter Mitty the lackluster fellow, the heavy drinker, the weak or ineffectual man, the fellow with the desk job or the bureaucrat. He is even the government. King of Cups is the vulnerable man too, and here in this spread we have Seven of Swords ready to violate his trust big time.

Here comes Seven of Swords, that guy! This is the fellow, in the illustrated story, who has the nerve to go into enemy camp (in broad daylight, it looks like!) and make off with their weapons. He may be foolhardy or even self-destructive instead of (or in addition to being) brave, though, since he carries the blades pointy side down in his bare hands. Derring-do. This is the card for special forces, black ops, missions – anything illicit like that. He could even be a terrorist or on a suicide mission (but I have never encountered this). But he is usually up-to-something socially.

In application, on a normal day’s inquiry, though, this is the person who violates trust, who seriously double-crosses or ‘pulls the rug out from under you’ emotionally, financially or in any other way. This is the thief. This is not a friend, necessarily, who betrays you; it may be nothing personal to him, may be like a mugging would be.

Seven of Swords, on the other hand, is the thrill of getting away with it, as well as the heartache of being vulnerable to it … like when something gets the best of you, and also like when you pay them back. Seven of Swords is the risk factor. Seven of Swords is having the guts to do it. Seven of Swords is sometimes advice to take that chance.

Seven of Swords is also revenge and vengeance, a kind of ‘Fuck with me, and I fuck with you’ attitude that disregards risk to accomplish evening a score. Haven’t we all been there to some degree at some time or another?

In romance, Seven of Swords is cheating, sneaking around, and betraying trust.

Lovers is one of the most complex cards. It has a lot of unrelated meanings. It means connection of any kind, but you feel it never quite connects, itself. Don’t trust it to mean ‘loves you’ – look for verification. You see Adam and Eve with their respective trees, a volcano in the distance (passion – and it can be literal once in a while, an eruption or an actual volcano). You see an angel that doesn’t look like a guardian angel to me, what with the orange and green hairdo, the red wings … more like the angel that evicted them from the garden, more like surveillance. But the guardian angel is one of its meanings, nevertheless. And so is surveillance.

Lovers can be a connection to God, since you have people, and the angel in the sky. This card can also indicate protection (including divine protection, of course), and even insurance – yes, literally, an insurance coverage.

The two people bring in partnership as well. Love partners is a common interpretation. Lovers is also one of the cards that indicates propinquity (standing next to or nearby), since they are, well, standing next to one another. Once in a great while this Lovers card just means ‘together’ or ‘two people’ as in ‘Two people were there.’

King of Cups and Seven of Swords      King of Cups and Seven of Swords combine the good, vulnerable, emotional and affectionate sweetheart of a guy (King of Cups in person) with taking a chance, something getting the best of him, a dangerous adventure or liaison, cheating, getting even, thieving, taking foul advantage, crime, getting away with something, pulling it off, risk, being sneaky, living dangerously and ‘behind your back’ stuff. King of Cups as the calm unassertive fellow appears here either as the vulnerable victim of skulduggery, or as the respectable-type fellow who gets away with the skulduggery. (If respectable police found, say, lovable Marcus Welby, M.D.’s fingerprints on the robbed safe, don’t you think they would double-check?) King of Cups does suggest that ‘Nice guys finish last.’

King of Cups and Lovers    King of Cups and Lovers combine the easygoing loving man with a love relationship, so ‘the love of a good man’ is their signature headline, or ‘me and my honey.’ A love affair with a quiet man. King of Cups is a quiet man, like High Priestess is the quiet woman. He could be quiet about the love affair itself, of course. I love a guy who is a gentleman, because King of Cups is a gentleman. King of Cups as a good guy is a good partner, and Lovers is partners.

Other meanings: King of Cups is the drinking man and is government-anything – the bureaucrat or the bureaucracy, at any level. So we get phrases like: drinking buddies, and ‘connected with some agency’ and even ‘government is your partner’ because Lovers is the partner and the connection.

Lovers’ connection-with-the-divine meaning makes ‘godly man’ when it hitches up with King of Cups.

Seven of Swords and Lovers     Seven of Swords and Lovers is an uh-oh combination. It combines risky dangerous treachery (Seven of Swords) with a direct partnership-type connection, and even with the one you love (Lovers). These two are a major alert unless surrounding cards remove the stinger. It helps that Seven of Swords also means ‘daring.’ The best meaning in love spreads for this combination is ‘taking a chance on love,’ or ‘We take a chance on one another,’ so try them first. (Sigh.)

Seven of Swords is sneaking, so, sneaking around behind someone’s back – and Seven of Swords is betrayal and double-cross. There’s a movie – a classic one – whose title is either ‘Dangerous Liaisons’ or ‘Les Liaisons Dangeroux.’ That could be the headline for Seven of Swords and Lovers in love spreads. You know what Lovers is. Seven of Swords obviously is the risky, dangerous, traitor.

Seven of Swords means ‘criminal,’ and therefore means ‘illicit,’ so you have ‘illicit love affair’ as well as ‘cheating lover.’ Ouch!

Seven of Swords can be crime, and Lovers does mean partners, so you have ‘partners in crime.’ That can be tongue-in-cheek or it can be serious. Once again, look to the other cards!

Seven of Swords means both ‘betrayal’ and ‘getting even,’ so sometimes it means ‘getting even for the betrayal.’

Seven of Swords means ‘pull it off’ and Lovers is partners (therefore buddies) so ‘These buddies (have the guts to) pull anything off.

Seven of Swords is living dangerously – maybe the daring and edgy type of person – and Lovers suggests being godly because of that angel overlooking the lives of those humans – so you have a godly person who lives dangerously.

Seven of Swords is someone … or something … getting the best of (you). Lovers can simply mean ‘our’ or ‘we’ or ‘us.’ So our … something or another … is getting the best of us.
