Tarot Verbatim
Guidance You don’t have to pay attention. It’s your attention, not theirs, until you voluntarily give it. To pay is voluntary. Even if it is Lover Boy or Lover Girl, you don’t owe undivided attention just because a stimulus is in front of you. Some stimuli we should sleep through, you know? A ringing phone goes unanswered: That is an answer! Inner peace is a useful tool to disconnect yourself and be ‘elsewhere’ when the doorbell rings and it’s the neighbor’s kids again, or when Lover gets on the soapbox. Sometimes inside is the place to be … as you let it be. To disengage, to push the clutch in and separate the vehicle from the engine that drives it.
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.

Four of Swords
Seven of Wands – Four of Cups – Lovers
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
Seven of Wands and Four of Cups and Four of Swords Three of four of our panelist cards ‘are not having any of it.’
Seven of Wands protests, insists, raises hell, makes a scene – is pushy or being pushed around.
Four of Cups is refusing (over and over) to have anything to do with something.
Four of Swords is disengaged, not responding, turned off and tuned out, or is asleep. He can be meditating too, because of the story behind the card about having the vision of his life purpose as a knight.
The other Rider Waite Tarot card, Lovers, is about connecting, contacting, being partners, being together. It can mean a connection to God, angels, or higher-ups.
Obviously we are talking about making and resisting connections. The main stories are about (1) resisting an in-your-face drama-queen kind of lover by passive resistance, by just not responding (2) resisting pressures and pushy people by connecting to a resting place within, inner peace. Once again, Tarot makes the point that love adheres to the same patterns as the rest of life. Another story we tell is hanging in there, filtering out another party’s resistance.
Four of Cups and Four of Swords both mean ‘don’t’ and ‘not doing.’ Four of Cups is overtly refusing and Four of Swords is sleeping on it, not responding.
Lovers and Four of Swords have some phrases in common despite also meaning some opposite things to those. Four of Swords is ‘still there.’ Lovers is connected, is ‘with you.’

Seven of Wands Neighbors unexpectedly invade his space and he defends himself against the odds (and wins). Look at this card; look at him. What this represents in most people’s spreads is the adolescent tirade, the ‘Gimme the car keys and I ain’t fillin’ the tank’ philosophy more and more Americans have. This temper is most characteristic of two-year-olds, adolescents, male mammals who want to be dominant and aren’t, and people who are mad as hell and won’t put up with it anymore.
Four of Cups refuses and rejects every time the choice is offered. Huh-hunh; won’t eat that. Resists temptation. What part of ‘no’ don’t you understand? Sometimes it simply is expressed by negative contractions: don’t, won’t, isn’t going to …. Resisting, and not hearing are today’s chief interpretations for Four of Cups.
Lovers Love partners is just the beginning of this Rider Waite Tarot card’s meanings; it is cluttered with them. Any kind of connection or contact, any kind of oversight (like the way we refer to the ‘higher-ups’ at work), protection including divine and angelic protection, standing next to (anyone or anything), connecting to God. Pictured is the Adam and Eve saga.
Four of Swords Sometimes you just tune out, turn off, take a nap, endure it without response, choose to be passive. Four of Swords is also meditation because depicted is the part of knighthood ceremony that is a vision quest: The candidate overnights in a cathedral lying on the sarcophagus of a great hero or saint and reports his vision to the bishop.

Four of Wands
Lovers – Eight of Pentacles – Eight of Wands
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
Four of Wands is a group of people (any group, any size), an organization or community or company, a home, a family, a marriage or couple. It’s official or formal (not ‘living together’). It also means ‘everybody’ sometimes, as ‘all of us in the group.’
Eight of Wands is ‘a number of,’ which can echo the ‘everybody’ of Four of Wands. Eight of Wands is communication, talk, ‘more and more,’ and also can mean ‘quickly.’
Then, Eight of Pentacles can mean ‘over and over’ and is about work, workers, workplace, employment, doing things, being consistent or persistent, repeated motion and ‘keeping (anything) up.’
Lovers, besides being lovers, or a couple, can mean two people who are together or are partners, can mean contact, together in one place, connection and being ‘one-on-one direct.’ Its other meanings are untouched in this spread.
Eight of Pentacles and Eight of Wands both can mean ‘one after the other,’ and ‘keeps’ for continuous repetition. Eight of Pentacles is making one thing after the other, and Eight of Wands simply literally translates that way for any application. Eight of Wands is for saying more than doing, and the reverse for Eight of Pentacles: You can see he is hands-on there.
Today we are very physical, no personal advice slant on things, no philosophical ruminations or exhortations, just situations that are not even stories. Will be interesting to see who raises his/her hand about this one, if anyone does.

Lovers – besides being lovers, or a couple – can mean two people who are together or are partners, can mean contact, connection and being ‘one-on-one direct.’ The complex illustration in the Rider Waite deck shows Adam and Even and their respective trees, a volcano between them, and an angel with his hair on on fire, arms outstretched, above them.
Eight of Pentacles can mean ‘over and over’ and is about work, workers, workplace, employment, doing things, being consistent or persistent, repeated motion and ‘keeping (anything) up.’ The carpenter at his bench, making one identical object after another, expresses these phrases perfectly.
Eight of Wands is ‘a number of,’ or any other word or phrase that pluralizes another Tarot card’s meaning. Eight of Wands is communication, talk, ‘more and more,’ and also can mean ‘quickly.’ These concepts are expressed (poorly) by limbs flying one above another through the air.
Four of Wands is a group of people (any group, any size), an organization or community or company, a home, a family, a marriage or couple. It’s official or formal (not ‘living together’). It also means ‘everybody’ sometimes, as ‘all of us in the group.’ This concept is illustrated by a society wedding, which is a public occasion reflecting community, as well as a private occasion involving a couple and family.

Advice We partner with a person and are family. We make partner in the company and are part of it and proud of ourselves. Identifying ourselves with others makes us who we are. Declaring love to our chosen person openly: He asks his love partner to marry him, she has that magic touch. Prince Charming’s family connects with her as a member. She makes him proud to be her fiance. He tells the woman he is married to ‘I love you’ – she has the magic touch.

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!

Four of Wands – Lovers – Page of Wands
MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: OBSERVATION OF THE SPREAD
WELL, we start out with love and marriage, then a good-looking guy, and then a woman who can handle or influence (whatever).
Four of Wands is marriage, or family, or a company or organization or group. Lovers is being in love, being or having a love partner, connection, contact. Page of Wands is the good looking fellow, and also means to speak, to be identified with, to be a good, respectable person. Strength is the woman who overcomes, solves, handles, influences.
So we have a story.
MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: INDIVIDUAL RIDER WAITE TAROT CARDS
Four of Wands shows a society wedding, a community celebration uniting a guy and gal in love and their families in marriage. So it means all those things.
Lovers has the obvious meaning, depicting a man and woman nude as Adam and Eve, but is more complex than that. Today we are using only the meanings that relate to a man and woman uniting. So, love, connection, contact, being in love.
Page of Wands is a clean-cut, good looking (usually young) man, often the well-dressed type. It also means to speak and to be identified with, as well as to stand for.
He is the ‘fair-haired boy’ in the illustration.
Strength of character is the main message of this Rider Waite Tarot card. It shows a woman in a white robe making the lion who attacked her purr because of her ‘vibe.’ She wears flowers and has the symbol of eternity over her head.

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.
