Tarot Verbatim
Guidance A woman who can handle anything, who does a lot for a man, could be up to no good. The road to perdition is paved with her good deeds sometimes. Conversely, the woman who instinctively babies her dude can fall victim to a bad apple dude. The key factor identified here is ‘not paying attention’ and ‘before you know it.’ We also speak of how being in a rush leads to mistakes – on the road, too.

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.
Queen of Pentacles
Fool – Knight of Wands – Moon
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
Fool and Knight of Wands and Moon are all on the road – in different senses, of course. Fool has just taken off on a journey with few provisions (in faith, okay?). Knight of Wands is on the road speeding with great energy (and he can be running away or pursuing). Moon is the bad road, the dangerous road, the wrong road and even road hazards.
But the first thing you notice in a spread, as an experienced reader, is those Tarot cards that have few and strong meanings: the emphatic ones. They are the anchor cards. Moon is one of those. It means the wrong way, the ‘left hand path.’ So it is trouble; it is a mistake. It is bad. So, with …
… Knight of Wands translating either ‘getting out of’ or ‘pursuing,’ Knight of Wands and Moon read both ‘getting out of trouble’ or pursuing the wrong course. These two also talk of speeding on a dangerous road, since Knight of Wands is in such a hurry and ‘mistakes made from being in a rush.’.
So, with Fool meaning ‘I don’t know’ or ‘haven’t a clue’ or ‘oblivious,’ Fool and Moon mean ‘no idea it’s wrong,’ ‘no clue about this person being evil,’ ‘oblivious to the perils,’ and ‘don’t know I’m lost.’ With Fool meaning ‘to assume,’ these two also translate ‘I assumed wrong.’
Fool and Knight of Wands: By the way, this is where you get ‘Fools rush in.’ Knight of Wands is rushing, and the word ‘fool’ is on Fool. Not paying attention being in a hurry, not knowing how fast you are going and ‘Let’s just get out of here’ are some more.
Here comes Queen of Pentacles into our mix. This card seldom means a witchy woman; she is the caretaker, the one who babies her man, the bookkeeper, the backer of the family finances. But see the goat heads on her throne there? Queen of Pentacles and Moon bring out the witchy side of the lady. So you have an evil woman taking care of you.
These two cards together translate things like a skilled crooked bookkeeper, the wrong woman, and mainly the woman who can handle a difficult, or even impossible, situation.

Fool operates on instinct, out of the subconscious, and is oblivious to real-world reality. Its deeper meaning is living ‘out there’ in the mental and/or spiritual planes and not quite, therefore, inhabiting the physical consciousness. That this ‘works.’ Which it does, for some people at least. Different drummer stuff. He is pictured about to skip off a cliff with his little dog, on a journey with no provisions to speak of. Here is where the ‘without even thinking’ and ‘easily, no sweat’ meanings arise. Fool speaks of intuition, of ‘knowing without knowing.’ It means psychic, of course.
Knight of Wands is nerved up and in a frenzy, either in hot pursuit or getting out of Dodge (escaping, running for the hills). Both hot pursuit and getting out of Doge are the same emotional state. Knight of Wands most often translates being in a hurry, speed, rush, over the roador on the road. ‘Energetically’ is another word it brings: It has a lot of energy and is using it right now.
His horse who is reared up as the wind whips the fellow’s clothes. The illustration expresses all the things we have just told you about.
Moon “The worst card in the deck,” we say. It means things like wrong and evil and foul, as well as blunder and mistake. What is pictured is ‘The Left Hand Path’ known as the road to perdition or hell. It shows a swamp with a lobster about to go on a land journey and a coyote hanging out with a dog (natural enemies consorting). The two towers mean something foul in metaphysics, as well. Once in a while Moon means inspiration, dreaming (often nightmare, though), the muse. That’s about it for ‘positive’ meanings.
Queen of Pentacles The woman who can … can handle anything, can run her man’s business, can be so possessive she engulfs the fellow she is babying or taking care of or caring for. She can be on the witchy side, especially when she is set next to the Left Hand Path. (See the goat head on her throne?) She can make or break a fellow, and it’s interesting that we also have the Knight of Wands who is either/or running away from or pursuing.
Being pictured with the huge coin of gold in her lap suggests being the handler of the money or the bookkeeper. She is surrounded by symbols of fertility, and is considered the administrator of an estate, often her husband’s estate.

Is this the first time you come here? Well … what to do:
*Go to Advice above which is a summary of the Messages. (Advice is everyone’s favorite part.)
*Go to Daily Message Tarot Analysis below. One or more of those sentences has something to say to you. Intuitively 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?”)
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!

Queen of Pentacles
Fool – Knight of Wands – Moon
MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: OBSERVATION OF THE SPREAD
Moon is always trouble, a mistake, all-round bad stuff. First thing you notice.
Then we have being oblivious, not thinking, being unaware (Fool) and being in a hurry or rush, speeding (Knight of Pentacles). These three are a recipe for disasters. All three of them involve the road in one way or another, too.
There’s a lot you can do with these three that Queen of Pentacles keeps you from doing. She is the spoiler card that limits their expressions. The woman who is able, can handle, is motherly and possessive and backs her man in his endeavors. Now, I have said before she is potentially witchy if there is something that brings it out, or if that theme is in the question. Moon is that card par excellence. So ‘Evil Woman’ is here.
MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: INDIVIDUAL RIDER WAITE TAROT CARDS
Fool operates on instinct, out of the subconscious, and is oblivious to real-world reality. Its deeper meaning is living ‘out there’ in the mental and/or spiritual planes and not quite, therefore, inhabiting the physical consciousness. That this ‘works.’ Which it does, for some people at least. Different drummer stuff. He is pictured about to skip off a cliff with his little dog, nose in air, on a journey with no provisions to speak of.
In real-world readings, being oblivious to reality does not turn out well. Imagine that.
Knight of Wands Over the road, speeds, is in a hurry or rush. Is pursuing or fleeing or even escaping. Has a lot of energy and is using it right now. Illustration is him on his horse who is reared up as the wind whips the fellow’s clothes.
Moon “The worst card in the deck,” we say. It means things like wrong and evil and foul, as well as blunder and mistake. What is pictured is ‘The Left Hand Path’ known as the road to perdition or hell. It shows a swamp with a lobster about to go on a land journey and a coyote hanging out with a dog (natural enemies consorting). The two towers mean something foul in occultism, as well.
Queen of Pentacles The woman who can … can handle anything, can run her man’s business, can be so possessive she engulfs the fellow she is babying or taking care of or caring for. She can be on the witchy side, especially when she is set next to the Left Hand Path. (See the goat head on her throne?) She can make or break a fellow, and it’s interesting that we also have the Knight of Wands who is either/or running away from or pursuing.
Being pictured with the huge coin of gold in her lap suggests being the handler of the money or the bookkeeper. She is surrounded by symbols of fertility, and is considered the administrator of an estate, often her husband’s estate.

If you have to rush it, you could ruin it
Moon Ace of Swords, Knight of Wands, Page of Cups
You have to hurry, it could get/be worse. You have to question (it): To hurry through (it) would be a mistake. Put that foolish mistake behind you! If you drive by fast, you will surely get lost. The ‘unlawful flight’ part has to be a question. Had to leave to avoid being questioned about the crime/mistake. Have to get out of this hellhole someday. If you have to rush it, you could ruin it. Must inquire whether it’s fast getting worse. If I had to rush through, maybe I would make a mistake. Have to get out before the ridiculous extreme is the case. When you really mess up, you may have to leave. I guess I’m going to have to get out of town when the fit hits the shan. Is it so bad I have to leave? This is a warning to get out or hurry up, something bad may be happening, a mistake may be happening or some questions may be asked. It isn’t every day that you have ‘Run!’ – Knight of Wands – and ‘Big Bad Mistake’ together, especially with the ‘have to’ of the Ace of Swords. Then there’s a ‘what if,’ the Page of Cups, that tones down the heaviness of the Ace of Swords-Moon conjunction. Advice is to watch your step.
Meanings and Illustrations:
Ace of Swords: You have to, that’s an order. Surely, you must. There’s a hand with a big weapon that says you have to.
Knight of Wands: Hurry up, get moving, get out of the way, avoid, and put something behind you, or pursue. Here is this fellow whose horse is in a lather and he’s movin’ on out. Page of Cups: Huh? Duh? Maybe it could or would be foolish, ask a question or speculate about what may happen ‘if.’ This fellow in a dress with a fish in a cup is a walking question mark. Moon: Here’s the big bad ugly worst case scenario, the mistake, mess, ruination or crime, expose of he the hellhole … the getting sooo lost. The towers in the illustration have some occult significance, and the wolf and the dog, enemies, have joined forces as the lobster sets out on a land journey … craziness.
She is a talented manager of the company’s affairs regarding some secretive bookwork
Ten of Cups High Priestess, Queen of Pentacles, Queen of Wands
She is in the back room, in charge of keeping books for the people. She manages everybody’s money expertly. She is the expert on investing other people’s money, that’s her department. She fits in with the other women in the group. Three married women. Three happily married women. Three women in the family. She stays home and takes care of him and the household. She is making this a happy home by being there, taking care of her man and being the wife. The wife has her own money, and knows how to make other people happy. She keeps her own money in her name as a married woman. She, the wife, is secretive about the family money. This is one big happy family, and the women devote themselves to family matters. She has been with the company long enough for her talents to be recognized, she is a manager. She is a talented manager of the company’s affairs regarding some secretive bookwork. Well, should I have just put these back in the deck and drawn some more? We simply have three cards in a row that mean a woman and then one that means the (happy) family. That card, with some stretch, can be a community or company. This isn’t much to work with, but it means something to some people who read this blog. I wonder what? Advice is to recognize the talent of a woman in a support role whose talent and contribution is to keep things straight, mind a budget and/or paperwork. There must be something to ‘the three’ as well, the three individual women described below. It is possible that the ‘witchy’ theme applies to someone, too: That is a factor the three women cards have in common.
Meanings and Illustrations:
High Priestess: The quiet woman, which also means expert, keeping secrets and/or keeping books or some written records. She stays in one place in some sense. The illustration on the Rider Waite version of Tarot shows a quiet, seated woman holding a book, associated with deep knowledge of spiritual and occult things. Queen of Pentacles: The woman who takes care of her man and his money, who minds the fortunes of her family. She superintends the money of the company or estate. She also has her own money. She is talent, she contributes. The illustration shows a crowned woman with the money symbol in her possession and indications of fertility: the verdant vegetation around her, and the bunny. The goat head carved on her throne suggests she has some witchy talent as well. Queen of Wands: Wife, mother, manager of the place, whether ‘the place’ is a home or company. Her black cat suggests witchy possibilities. She is a very practical, competent person, reliable, ‘the mama.’ Ten of Cups: The happy family, happy group or community. Prosperity in a good neighborhood. The illustration shows the happy family outside their landed home, a rainbow of plenty overhead, the children dancing and the couple’s arms stretched up. My, my, aren’t we happy and prosperous?
My, my has this day started out with a bang. First Emily makes a few interesting mistakes, managing to thoroughly insult the Page of Pentacles by mixing him up with the Page of Cups. I messed up and the computer ate today’s post. Emily says it might be a good idea to stay in bed, and then you won’t have to spend the money on a call to her wondering what the heck happened … -Stef
