Tarot Verbatim
GUIDANCE You are changing your mind about so much. It takes a while to reverse your mindset, so there’s two of you in the same head for a little while, which is disorienting. I am overwhelmed, myself, when I realize how fast I am changing as my thoughts are racing. Changing my mind about everything all at once tires me out, but I’m suddenly very intuitive.

Knight of Swords – Other cards choose which of his contradictory meanings he is using in your spreads. He is often about change and always about speed (suddenly, rush, hurry), but what is changing, and the direction he is rushing are usually determined by neighboring cards. He often ends up meaning ‘not anymore’ and ‘recovery’ or ‘got over it’ because of the change theme. As to his directions, he can pursue; he can flee or ‘get outta here’; he can go back or reverse or switch; and he can represent a turnaround or even (rarely) a regression.
.
You simply look to him last after you have figured out the other cards. Often, he ends up making some distinction for you. He is by no means useless.
Ten of Wands – You see overload here, slow going, too much, exhaustion. Ten of Wands is about those times when a person ‘does it all in one load.’ His backbreaking endeavor draws words like: overwhelming, too long, after all this time, at last, a big (whatever), depressed, a complete (whatever), everything, it takes a while, so much, always, indefinitely, the whole thing – and even ‘very’ and ‘all.’ Today it makes Hanged Man’s thoughts deep, even.
.
Today it does something a little different. Hanged Man’s strong urge gets to be a ‘very’ strong urge with Ten of Wands.
Hanged Man – Think of Hanged Man as an antenna. Incoming intuition, realization, psychic impressions overload his awareness to the point of his being disoriented. This is a picture of the brainstorm or the brain-fog (or both). This is the way a person feels when his or her psychic awareness phase come upon him or her. Think that Buffalo Springfield song ‘Hung Upside-down.
.
Words and phrases like ‘got a feeling,’ ‘mindset,’ ‘connect the dots,’ and ‘strong urge’ belong to Mr. Hanged Man. He is all about feeling and enlightenment.
.
Hanged Man’s most frequent words are ‘realize’ (in all its forms), know, and feel. Other common translates for Hanged Man are: mind, intuition, subconscious, it strikes me, inspiration, enlightenment.
.
Hanged Man should mean ‘sacrifice’ but for me it doesn’t. It does for other readers not using the Tarot Verbatim™ system. Its picture is about several myths in which the hero of the story sacrifices a body part (for All-father Odin, his eye) to gain ‘wisdom,’ which you find means psychic gifts. That is how the picture here gets the meanings we have talked about.

First associations I made with these Tarot cards are changing (Knight of Swords) the mind (Hanged Man) and a whole lot of (Ten of Wands) thought (Hanged Man). Also ‘think fast‘ as the think of Hanged Man plus the fast of Knight of Swords. And also ‘thoughts (Hanged Man) are racing (Knight of Swords).’
.
Knight of Swords is fast and Ten of Wands is slow. What to do with this? Well, Hanged Man is enlightenment, which comes on fast and goes on forever, for one. Going on down that road, a big change (Knight of Swords) is underway at last (the long term application of Ten of Wands). And with Knight of Swords meaning, famously, ‘not anymore,’ you get ‘I’m not depressed anymore’ from these two Rider Waite Tarot cards. I also discovered ‘changes (Knight of Swords) everything (Ten of Wands).’ From there, I went on to ‘it’s all (Ten of Wands) about to change (Knight of Swords).’ These two cards also say both ‘it takes a while to’ and ‘it’s difficult to’ reverse (Knight of Swords)’ and that applies here to ‘your mindset’ due to Hanged Man’s contribution. It also could be phrased about changing your mind.
.
Hanged Man is an urge to, and Knight of Swords is ‘get out.’ Ten of Wands makes that urge ‘a strong urge.’

A change of life purpose or life direction occurs first in my mind and in my gut. It may begin as an ‘anyplace but here’ feeling of being boxed in or limited. The feelings and thoughts that lead to sudden changes of direction are both fast and deep. Sometimes we wake up a different person and have to introduce our new self to our old self, or vice versa.

Tarot Verbatim
Guidance Some of our best ideas, inspirations and realizations occur because we are in urgent need of something we lack. Necessity truly is the mother of enlightenment, sometimes. When we arrive at a new level of awareness, we realize how lacking we were back then, and may feel sorry for others still in that territory. Major realizations are like sudden bright lights in the dark. They disorient a person temporarily, don’t they? But why be sorry for a person who now knows how to change?
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 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.
Did you come here for your predictions? – You are done now – See you tomorrow. The family of commenters here would love for you to join in (the very last thing, at the bottom).

I understand I let that idiot get me down, and now I’m over it.
Why feel sorry for yourself when you know you can leave?
(He) knows how to change, so why feel sorry for him?
Quit feeling sorry for yourself. Do you know how inappropriate for you that is?
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.
Hanged Man
Knight of Swords – Five of Pentacles – Page of Cups
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
Page of Cups and Hanged Man are both about awareness, and both mean ‘weirdness’ in different ways. Together, they mean things like ‘mindboggling inspiration’ and ‘Don’t you get it?’ ‘Realize I am insane’ would be another phrase for these two.
Page of Cups can be a misfit weirdo sort of person, and can be about feeling out of place, inappropriate, or strange. Page of Cups is a strange notion, a bizarre situation or funny-looking contraption. Page of Cups is also that ‘What-the-fuck’ experience. It is one of the ‘duh’ cards that can make its sentence a question.
Hanged Man is about one’s brains being scrambled by a realization, eureka experience, deja vu experience, an inspired or bright idea, a new concept or new perspective. It’s that ‘coulda had a V8’ experience.
A change: That is what Knight of Swords is about. Knight of Swords is in a hurry, a headlong rush into something. He is also getting out, leaving – or is the escape route, the way out. So it appears for a switch, for ‘coming and going’ or ‘got us out of being headed for’ or ‘turned back’ or ‘doubling back’ or ‘turned around in midstream.’ It is also a strike or a raid. Sometimes it translates ‘quit,’ often when the quitting is pulling out of or pulling back from something.
There’s energy to this Tarot card, so some of his words and phrases are: suddenly get over it, sudden recovery, rush in, how fast you can get out of, it happened so fast, propelled, headlong, get going. Since he is so flexible, you don’t look to him first for the main meaning of your spread; you find a more definitive Tarot card, and he will fit in.
Five of Pentacles is another spiritual mystical card in Rider Waite. It depicts ‘Dark Night of the Soul,’ a spiritual exhaustion that occurs after a peak experience. Its meanings arise, of course, from the picture of a wounded, crippled, mother and son in rags in a snowstorm who are so numb they don’t notice that’s a cathedral, where they could sleep in a warm bed and have a warm meal. (Back then, that was true.)
Five of Pentacles is doing without, poor times, misery, feeling sorry for yourself or someone else, a lack of something, bankruptcy, numbing out from stress or grief, being homeless or on the street walking. Snow and snow storm. Benighted (lacking insight). And of course dark night of the soul.
Knight of Swords and Five of Pentacles together mean such things as: a way out of poor times or misery, changes exhaust or deplete you, sudden recovery from illness, get out of the doldrums or self-pity, ‘Dark Night of the Soul’ brings a new level of, just when I need it, got us out of being headed for bankruptcy, not poor anymore, desperation makes you rush into.
Knight of Swords and Page of Cups means things like: it happens so fast it makes your head spin, suddenly you feel weird or strange, a strange new idea strikes, dizzying changes, that stupid idea is what got us out of being headed for, see things in a different way and change, rush into something inappropriate, what would get you going, I’m over that idiot, why leave, exit the dummy, quit because that’s inappropriate.
Knight of Swords and Hanged Man are: changes in your brain, change your mind, awareness is heightened as you recover, a new idea strikes, realize how fast you can, see things in a whole new and different light, change your view, it happened so fast it feels intensely, taking leave of your mind, inspired to get going, propelled into the realization, realize you can just leave or get out, I understand and now I’m over it.
Five of Pentacles and Page of Cups say such things as: miserable for a silly reason, poor fool, who would have thought that ‘Dark Night of the Soul,’ poor times feel weird, when you are homeless you see things in a different way, do something inappropriate out of desperation, why feel sorry for yourself.
Five of Pentacles and Hanged Man make these phrases: It strikes me ‘I’m broke now,” when you are homeless, you see things in a different light, enlightenment when you have been in the dark, illness brings enlightenment, illness heightens awareness, an inspiration about what is lacking, need a bright idea, when you realize poor times, realize it’s a lack of, feel intense sorrow.
.
LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES
..
Knight of Swords shows a fully armed knight leaning over the rushing horse’s neck, arm extended, clothes and mane whipped in the wind. His expression is intense in pursuit. But the Rider Waite Tarot card can also mean fleeing as well as going back and switching directions back and forth. It suggests a strike sometimes as well. It often means change, and hurrying or a rush.
Five of Pentacles Depleted, exhausted, lacking what you need, numb with despair and homeless or bankrupt: Poor times, this Rider Waite Tarot card screams. A mother and wounded, crippled child in rags pass on foot by a cathedral where a hot meal and warm bed await – because they are so tired it doesn’t register as shelter!
Page of Cups Silly, inappropriate, awkward, strange or weird, foolish, see things differently, foolhardy: That is the fellow wearing women’s clothing and carrying around a fish in a cup. This can mean inspiration just as Hanged Man can. It suggests putting the sentence in question form, and also expresses humor at times.
Hanged Man most often means ‘realize’ or ‘realization.’ An idea, concept, inspiration, eureka experience, “Get it” or understand, intense experience, intense awareness … to know. Telepathy or psychic experience. The Illustration depicts how ‘upside-down’ you feel when you suddenly realize something – maybe ‘something you knew already.’

Four Card Spreads, Our Daily Spread
(At the time of production, there’s no way to correct the lack of spaces after punctuation. I am writing around it now!)
Advice is all about thinking processes … about changing your mind … about distilling things you know down to one belief … about letting your mind go far afield and come back with something interesting, some inspiration … about coming to a conclusion after experiencing all sorts of theories. Concentrating on too many things at once, flitting from one to the other. Even about running for the exit through smoke.
=========================================================================
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.
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!

MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: OBSERVATION OF THE SPREAD
Hmmm, said I when I saw these. That’s a polite rendition. Two of the four Rider Waite Tarot citizens are about idea or inspiration or mind or focus or awareness. Those are Hanged Man and Knight of Pentacles. The former is subconscious realization producing a eureka awareness consciously. The latter is about one very conscious if not obsessive idea – is about focus.
Then Seven of Cups is many different scattered unrelated items together. It is about confusion and chaos … and smoke and debris and pieces of things lying around.
Add to these Knight of Sword’s sudden reversal of direction or changes – including changes back and forth.
So we have a contrast between scattered and focused, one and many. And we have a contrast between deliberation and focus in Knight of Pentacles and being out of control and scattered in Seven of Cups.
These four are a recipe for one’s head to spin. Missing is any action at all! This is one of those pesky consciousness spreads. I hate it when someone asks what another person will do and we get a consciousness spread meaning he’s gonna think.

Seven of Cups … uh-oh. Many different scattered unrelated items together. Seven of Cups is about confusion and chaos … and smoke and debris and pieces of things laying around. Theories and apparitions. Seven of Cups is the magician who lost control of the critters in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and is about the critters who got loose in Pandora’s Box. Its signature phrase is … out of control.
Hanged Man has realized he always knew that! Hanged Man is when you go around saying some aphorism to your friends as if it were very meaningful and they are rolling their eyes at you … Yeah? Hanged Man is when you realize that the friend who said “Well, he had sex with that nun” has a point after you told Friend the story of Husband’s knowing the nun stole the hotel towels, that he saw her put them in her luggage. Hanged Man is the kind of realization that sometimes is quickly followed by a “Duh!” Psychic realization is part of Hanged Man’s territory too.
Knight of Swords goes back there again … goes back and forth … turns the corner … changes – especially changes direction. He means to pursue and he means to flee. I wish it were not so. He means to be in a hurry and he means speed. His illustration shows a fully armed knight in obvious pursuit, blade extended and leaning forward. His horse’s hair is flying and his horse is flying – both feet off the ground, which is not the way horses run.
Knight of Pentacles He and his horse are short and dark. They are standing still as he contemplates that one thing in his hands (a huge coin). He can be a thug – is at least very physical. Concentrating on one thing is the main meaning.

Knight of Swords
Five of Wands – Five of Cups – Hanged Man
Five of Wands, which shows fellows whacking each other with boards in some kind of competition (whether sport or combat) refers to intense effort; Hanged Man is an intense idea or inspiration. It shows a fellow with yellow halo emanating from his head while he is upside down: mental energy.
Knight of Swords also involves great energy, the kind it takes to get out of or turn something around. Knight of Swords is in a hurry. His Sword is ready to attack whoever he is after … which reminds us of the fight in the Five of Wands, doesn’t it? … and his horse’s feet are off the ground, his clothing is flying.
And right in the middle of all of this is depression over a regrettable loss in the past, an intense feeling of a different kind from Hanged Man. Guilt, shame, grief, preoccupation with the past in a sad way.
.
.
So the story here, the advice, is to get past a preoccupation with the bad part of the past; to use the bad scene that haunts you to fire yourself up to do something that changes that scene. Let the torpor inspire you to action. Get the idea to go back to the fight you lost. We also say failure is a phase: You either get out before you get to that point, or you go on to either do something else or return to battle with new strategies.
