Tarot Readings for You for January 20, 2014 Monday©

Tarot Verbatim

Guidance       Attachment to our foundation (be it ever so despised, even) is fundamental. When we leave a place we have lived, worked, loved or even been sentenced to, emotions take over. Anticipation of progress in the place we are rushing into is exciting, especially when the impetus of getting out of a sad scene fuels the anticipation. New life and old life occupy the same space for a while.

 

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.

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).

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.

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

 

The story of leaving a place (home, marriage, business, house, company) in a hurry, upset by a loss hits you in the face in this spread:

 

Page of Swords … Upset …
Knight of Wands … leaving …
Five of Cups … a failed …
Four of Wands … marriage or house or Company.

 

 

Page of Swords, upset, jittery, nervous, threatened … and excited.

 

Knight of Wands, fast progress, moving out of town, being in a rush, pursuing or leaving. 

 

Five of Cups, sadness, loss, wishing I hadn’t.

 

 

Four of Wands, home, marriage, business, house, company.

 

 

Page of Swords and Knight of WandsBut then you see ‘excited to move’ and ‘exciting progress’ – and

 

Knight of Wands and Four of Wands ‘pursuing marriage,’

 

So we are talking about a transition – about going either way, (depressed to leave, excited to pursue). (Have you noticed we often do that? – things go either way?)

 

 

The featured or central card here is Four of Wands as the home, marriage, business, house or company our lead character (you?) is either chasing after or running away from.

Page of Swords Beset by paranoia is he: There he stands on a grassy knoll, whirling around with sword in air and hair flying and nothing is seen for a mile in a circle. Upset, jealous, jittery, afraid, wrought up and excited.

 

 

Knight of Wands shares this hyper-alertness. He is fleeing or pursuing full speed ahead, his club brandished and his clothes flying. He is moving, making fast progress.

 

 

Five of Cups wishes he had … or hadn’t. The past is haunting us here, and we have experienced a loss that hangs over us like a fog. Spilled wine, and our back is to wine that is left. Mourning and grief.

 

 

Four of Wands Our foundation – home, marriage, business, house or company – is an attachment even if we leave it in disgust. We tend to run back there, especially during or after a loss. Illustration here shows a society wedding which is foundational to a community.

Our Daily Spread for May 9, 2011

Four Card Spreads, Our Daily Spread

WE WILL NOT HAVE THE PHOTOS OF THE CARDS ON HERE FOR A WHILE BECAUSE STEFANIE HAS THEM AND I AM PUTTING UP THESE DAILY MESSAGES MYSELF NOW

=========================================================================

Is this the first time you come here? Well …

HOW TO USE THE MATERIAL WE HAVE FOR YOU HERE. Read the sentences, and pick out the ones that seem to apply to you, to the people around you. They are a Tarot analysis of your day’s circumstances. As the day (or several days) unfolds, you may find the information is relevant. Some of this information refers to a longer time period. The question is: “Tell the visitors here something useful and meaningful to them.” Often, your adopting the attitude you feel in the blog works for your day!

Without a question to focus the answer, four cards can mean even contradictory things. Without a question also the pronouns in a group reading are less specific, more flexible, especially in some of these Rider Waite Tarot spreads. Especially when a pronoun is in parentheses, feel free to substitute.

The Advice section sums up a general meaning of all the sentences.

Remember to share your experience with a comment here if you have words for it … I spend two or more hours a day writing to you, after all!

Photos of the animals that the people who call me support are in with the articles I wrote for you. Enjoy them too! Stefanie is the one who has posted the few we have here. She did not do much there.

And you can call me at the 800 99 3 6 9 12 number from Eastern 1 p. m. to Eastern 1 a. m. at least, every day. I analyze business situations accurately too. (Testimonials are on the web site.)

=========================================================================

Four of Wands

Knight of Wands, Two of Cups, Nine of Swords

Meanings and Illustrations:

Four cards that have no basic themes in common tend to make a lot of unrelated sentences, and, yes, that is exactly what we have here:

Knight of Wands means in a hurry, to pursue or run away, to speed, to get out. Illustration shows a fellow galloping on his frisky pony.

Two of Cups means an unwelcome influence or circumstance which one is unaware of. Cheating, embezzlement, love affair/sexual relationship/seduction (Mother Nature is the interferer here), or the other man/other woman scenario; being under the influence or being socially pressured to do as someone else wants (you) to do. It also refers to the influence of negative nonphysical entities – haunting, etc. It’s a ‘with fingers crossed behind my back’ kind of Tarot card.

The illustration of Two of Cups shows a couple committing to one another but the symbol of outside influence hovers over them, the caduceus. (Other Tarot readers see this as a simple romance card.)

Nine of Swords is the worry, nightmare, dread, fear story. Illustration shows a person up nights crying.

Four of Wands shows a wedding being celebrated at a mansion. It stands for marriage in the formal sense. It stands for related things such as wedding, spouse, living as a family or living together. It also refers to a headquarters, building, dwelling place of any kind. It also often means the Company, the community, and so on. Are you talking about a Senate hearing? – it’s the Senate House. See?

==========================================================

Advice. What I get from this is: Yeah, romance and sex are the leading cause of grief and yet, here we go again full speed ahead on to the next episode, aggravating both us, our lover, our spouse and the neighborhood. Uh-huh, we do this! It’s what happens, not that it’s ‘normal,’ but it’s the usual thing. This is stated so factually and so boldly that I feel it’s saying ‘Get over yourself: That’s the way it is.’

===========================================================

TAROT ANALYSIS:

Romantic and Home Life Perspective:

Avoid cheating; it makes for a miserable marriage.

She is upset that the fellow who is chasing her is cheating on his marriage.

As much as it worries him, he is rushing this love affair into living together/marriage.

Nervous and avoiding sexual relationship once he is married.

Avoiding love affairs because they lead to nightmare marriages.

Afraid to leave the marriage for the other man/woman.

The spouse worries that (he) is driving under the influence and speeding.

The family pressures him/her to leave home: wah!

Rushes home, concerned about disabled spouse.

Real Estate Perspective:

Anxious to get out from under the debt on this house.

Anxious to get out of this house with the hidden defect.

Afraid the house is haunted and avoids going there.

Afraid to leave the haunted building.

Dreads moving into a house that gives off bad vibes.

Business Perspective:

It’s a terrible life when the company puts him on the road on commission.

The Company’s headache is: the person who embezzled has left it.

Nervous about leaving a Company with a bad reputation

He hurries over to the house of his beautiful woman to be her partner in love

Lovers
Four of Wands, Empress, Knight of Wands

Romantic Perspective:
He hurries over to the house of his beautiful woman to be her partner in love.
In a hurry to marry/live with the woman he loves.
She is so sexy men of good family pursue her to be her lover.
She is from a wealthy family, she gets ahead on that connection.
He is in a hurry to marry a woman who has connections and money.

That’s all I can think of.  When you have marriage or wealthy family (Four of Wands), sexy beautiful rich woman (Empress), man who pursues (Knight of Wands) and Lovers … well those only go together in so many ways, and these are they.

Advice is if you are a female, let him pursue you because you are gorgeous; and if you are male, pursue that gorgeous woman.  End of story!

Meanings and Illustrations:

Four of Wands: Marriage, wealthy family, that’s all that can be used in the present company.  Illustration on the Rider Waite Tarot card shows a wedding of a leading community family.

Empress: Beautiful, wealthy, sexy woman.  She is the beloved, the valentine girl.  Illustration shows exactly that, with some fertility symbols.

Knight of Wands: What else can the guy-card in the company of these others do but pursue the girl?  Illustration shows him pursuing madly.

Lovers: Lovers means lovers of course, and also connection.  That is all we use of it here.  Illustration shows a naked man and woman in the Garden of Eden with a guardian angel looking over them from, of course, above.

Conquer bad moods by doing something frivolous to take your mind off things

Fool
Ace of Swords, Devil, Two of Pentacles

Sometimes you have to deal with a big problem by ignoring it.
When you are ordered to do something wrong, there must be some way to not be there.
Conquer bad moods by doing something frivolous to take your mind off things.
To achieve the impossible, just keep trying.
Forget about the alternative of physical force.

The worst threat may never be.
Conquer this cycle of despair and optimism.
Ignore his/her nasty moods and make him/her feel silly.
You have to be optimistic when it’s one huge problem after another.
Moving parts have to break, you just don’t know when.
Have faith in the process of conquering the bad feelings/depression.

Combat a disability or handicap by continually making light of it.
A recurring problem has to not be there at times!
Keep the faith that even the worst will be overcome.
You just have to get nasty sometimes.
You go through this phase when you are young of being overcome by bad experiences.

This is general life advice that no matter how bad it is, don’t take it too seriously.  Funny.  That is one of the gifts of my readings:  You are bigger than the problem, don’t let it get to you.  (My father used to say, when I was a kid upset about some damn thing “Well, one of two things will happen:  Either you will get over it, or you will die of it.  Either way, getting upset won’t change it.  After a while, you will forget all about it anyway.”  He meant ‘so shut up already.’)

*We begin with the Ace of Swords which today means ‘the most’ and ‘conquer’ or ‘overcome’ or ‘be overcome.’  *Then we have the Devil, a very ambiguous heavy card that means ‘most anything nasty, and ‘a big problem’ as well  ‘physical’ and ‘obstacle.’  *Then we have, in the Two of Pentacles, ‘it’s a cycle, it’s a phase’ and to keep it up, to keep trying, as well as ‘may or may not.’  *These are followed by the ‘oh, never mind’ Fool, which in Rider Waite Tarot means such things as young or youthful, to ignore, to be optimistic and ‘to not be’ as in ‘to not be there.’  The Fool is that wonderful mood where reality doesn’t matter, you have faith in the process.

The Fool and the Two of Pentacles are both lighthearted cards that suggest freedom.  The Ace of Swords and the Devil are both heavy cards that suggest defeat or being overcome.  (But the Ace of Swords’ main meaning is to overcome in battle.)

So the advice today is you are bigger than what ails your reality at this moment, and it will pass, so just ignore and rise above the whole thing, have faith that it’s a phase that must pass.  And be happy.  The Fool is a happy fella no matter what, and he’s on the road without provisions with his doggie companion.

Meanings and Illustrations:

Ace of Swords: Victory is its main song.  With victory something else is defeated as a rule:  The action goes both ways in the Tarot Verbatim school, as well as in Rider Waite Tarot.  Ace of Swords also means such things as ‘the most’ and ‘an order’ and ‘must’ or ‘have to.’

Devil: Oh, here he is, that ugly glowering-faced hairy 500-pound gorilla in the room, looking very scary.  This is anything detrimental, oppressive, nasty.  This is the way you feel when you are depressed, “I can’t do anything about it.”  But you can:  See how the chains are loose on the necks?  It is the force of habit of standing there being used to a bad situation or habit that has then standing there.

Two of Pentacles: Round and round, on and on, to everything there is a season, a phase, a cycle.  It comes and it goes.  Things are always in motion.  The juggler has the mathematical sign of eternity around what he is juggling, and the ships in the background are going up and down on the waves.  (By the way, this card can also mean dizziness or nausea!)

Fool: We close with being free, freedom, being not really present but going along making the best of things.  The Fool is a happy-go-lucky fella who is on the road on a sunny day with a little snack, a rose and a doggie.  Optimism is the song of the Fool.
