GUIDANCE      First we engage in all sorts of effort to establish ourselves in whatever our heart is set upon: We climb that glass mountain and bust through the glass ceiling. Now we have arrived. We are ossifying in our established rung. Uh, now what? Moving on after success, that’s what – and they don’t write books about that, do they?

Could This Be YOU?

Picture this: You look at the cards in your spread

You immediately get an idea

because you know a few of them intimately AND

Emperor – Esoterically, Four is associated with being the end stage, the finished product, the state of having arrived, the ultimate status. Along with those characteristics come concepts like Daddy, powerful, boss, authority, the ultimate influence as the head man (or entity). This is how Emperor comes to mean federal; federal is the ultimate status of power politically. And while we’re at it, note how many countries have called their leader ‘il papa’ or other terms of fatherhood.

.

The end stage is elderly, so Emperor is the old man. Characteristics of old age therefore attach to Emperor: the rigid, controlling, stubborn, set-in-his-ways old geezer.

.

Emperor as the head of the family, as Daddy, includes settling down. And, by the way, if you ask if somebody is the father (of the baby or whomever), Emperor is a definite ‘yes.’

Lovers – Lovers is a many-splendored Tarot card. Its one that has quite a few meanings that are related only by its illustration. Elsewhere, I have expounded upon its spectrum, but today we use two of its most basic applications plus two words.

.

The title and the nude couple in the pic tell you that love and love-related themes have a home in Lovers – of course they do. Here’s today’s phrases for that theme: he fell in love; is in love; whom she loved; and then there was you; with this love partner; close relationships; a love affair with; He is in love; a love affair; you fall in love with; she falls in love with.

.

Lovers is all about connection and contact too. Connection, today – and here are today’s phrases for that theme: you are close to; his connection to; now that you are with; is in touch with us; with his partner; that he has an equal; in touch with; connecting up with. Notice the ‘with’: Lovers’ terms often include the ‘with’ because it is about two people. Being about two people also brings Lovers plural pronouns – ‘they’ today, but ‘we’ and ‘us’ and ‘them’ also belong here.

.

The fact the angel is above the couple and connecting with them (I think this is the angel that evicted them – Adam and Eve of course – from their garden home.) brings some other elements to Lovers’ dictionary. ‘Higher-ups,’ meaning supervisors or ‘your betters,’ for one. Also protection and insurance because the angel ‘has them covered’ or ‘has their backs.’ These last two meanings seem far-fetched, but, yes, you will find your cards talking like this – or at least a number of us Tarot Verbatim-ites has found this to be so. [Meanings in Tarot Verbatim are discovered in use (‘in the field’), not made up or deduced.]

Six of Swords – Story: Leaving a bad place, leaving your possessions behind like a refugee ‘with the clothes on your back,’ and heading to a better place – better maybe only because this place is so bad. Assumption is that, yes, they do get to this better place, so life is improving, is not as bad as it used to be. So Six of Swords is both despair and hope, leaving behind and moving on up. Six of Swords is also avoiding something.

.

Here’s the thing you have to remember with Tarot Verbatim’s™ Six of Swords: in your spread, the emphasis can be on the leaving (getting out); on the journey (on our way); on the improvement (better days); on avoiding (the great escape); on ‘things aren’t as bad as they used to be.’ Emphasis can be upon the leaving, the journey, or the arriving. Or all three: Six of Swords means ‘relocating’ all by itself. Six of Swords can be yesterday or tomorrow.

.

One thing Six of Swords will never be is ‘the good old days.’ The past, here, is the regrettable past, the ordeal that life was.

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

                  LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES

…………..…………. …………………….

.

First thing I see here is ‘ leaving your lover’ or ‘ lover is leaving,’ which is a common issue in Tarot inquiries, so I was amazed that Lovers and Six of Swords do not appear as a pair in a Google Tarot Verbatim™ search, and appear only once in a search of my computer. Hmm. Lovers and Six of Swords also mean a lot of other things too. Here are some common ones besides the exit of a love life or lover: finally in love; is in love and puts the past behind; life is so much better for us; a connection is drawing to a close; things aren’t as bad now that we are together; they see you on your way to greater things; isn’t in touch anymore; departed loved one; you and partner heading for a better situation; drifting away from a relationship; now that he has an equal, he isn’t (whatever) anymore; avoids a love affair; is in love, so is no longer (whatever); not in touch anymore, avoiding contacting; avoiding connecting with; life improves when you fall in love; relocate when you fall in love.

.

Applying Six of Swords to your story, there are things to keep in mind. Look at the lay of the land in the other cards first. Is the story about a good thing coming (say, you see Three of Wands, Nine of Cups, or one of the cards that mean happy or celebration)? Or is it about leaving a bad scene, getting over a bad experience? These determine which Six of Swords phrases fit.

.

Six of Swords can mean developing or heading toward something – like ‘he’s getting old’ with Emperor, because the people in the boat are going to a better place. Six of Swords can also say ‘He’s no longer old’ or ‘isn’t an old man anymore,’ because Six of Swords means withdrawing from, putting something behind. Yes, these are opposite meanings to keep in the back of your mind. That’s because this card can emphasize the leaving, the journey, or the arriving at the better place.

.

Keep in mind things aren’t as bad anymore in Six of Swords, that life is improving because the people are leaving this place for a better place.

.

Emperor, like King of Swords, has few meanings, and you tend to get stuck for what to say when you interpret him. He’s old: You got that. But old expands to a lot of categories: daddy and the boss; rigid or controlling, or stubborn; mature; old-fashioned; conservative; an established man; the authority on something, or the Authority; influential; a head-of-the-family man; seniority or experienced; even being a grownup.

.

Quite apart from its ‘ old man’ vibe, Emperor represents a dictatorial personality, a rigid person, a controlling person. Any gender, any age.

.

In addition to its people-meanings, Emperor is federal – federal-anything, because federal is the most powerful political level. Emperor is settling down, Emperor is a later stage in life, or even in an enterprise. An old established corporation typically isn’t growing fast, for example: It is in the later stage of corporate life.

.

Emperor can represent something chronic, something permanent, as well as something established. You don’t want to see Emperor in most medical questions, unless the story involves an Emperor person.

.

Something that is very established and/or has been that way for a long time is now moving or developing in one direction or another, and that applies to the two people Lovers can represent, or the connection Lovers can represent.

Being old and being in love after all that: That’s our contemplation today. To be after we have been: That is our quest. I used to be so hard-driving – and then there was you. Mellowing out in my old age is disrupted by connecting up with a lively interest in a companion. Hallelujah. I’m on to the next!

Attitudes bombard this subject. Having some friends costs you other friends. Partners in the firm avoid conflicts of interest.

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.

Six of Swords

Four of Wands – Two of Cups – Lovers

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

.

 

Today is about what divides people who are of the same family or community. Literally the four read: “Us. Them. Connect. Shun.” These four are awkward to interpret. There’s no action card, other than ‘leaving’ or ‘shunning’ for Six of Swords.

Here’s the awkwardness. Two of Cups and Lovers both refer to people being influenced by outside forces or spiritual agents: That is why, on each of these Tarot cards, you see three parties (a triangle), and wings on both the ‘outside’ party figures. See? The angel over Adam and Eve like a guardian angel, and a caduceus over the other couple also has wings. Caduceus is a bad influence or an unclean spiritual influence. Lovers means a connection, so when you put the angel into it, it means divine or angelic influence. Two of Cups means a shady or infernal influence.

Four of Wands and Six of Swords are your people, your family (Four of Wands) and the Establishment (hence, orthodoxy) and leaving (Six of Swords) and going off in a different direction. It is awkward to phrase this scene of going away from either one or the other subversive influence and toward the other, since the influences are expressed here in such an indirect way. You end up sounding preachy, and this spread is by no means preachy; it is very objective. For example, if you were a born maverick or gypsy or hippie, the way these cards are, it’s those Episcopalians or traditional folks who are the bad influence. It’s making the switch that our story emphasizes.

Six of Swords means to head away from one direction or place and head toward another better one. Lovers is the association or connection itself. Then you have Four of Wands, the Establishment and the respectable people of the neighborhood, and Two of Cups which is about a harmful influence, particularly spiritual or lustful bad influence. (Of course it also means grand love affair, the grande passion. Addiction is part of the interference-from-outside theme too.)

Four of Wands and Six of Swords is going astray from orthodoxy. The spread is more favoring the concept of going astray from orthodoxy because of the ‘temptation’ and ‘lust’ meanings of Two of Cups, which is the malefic card with a caduceus upon it.

.
.

Our story is about whether to be whatever you find yourself – a hippie or an Episcopalian; whether to stay with the characteristics and beliefs you were born into, or whether to poke your nose out the door and test the strange air.

Four of Wands (“Us.” ) Your family.  The good people, good neighborhood.  The headquarters of a major agency or corporation.  Your country.  A building or house.  Marriage, marriage as an institution.  Pictured is a society wedding, the union of leading political families.

Two of Cups (“Them.”) Is often ‘getting sucked in,’ being used, cheating or being cheated on.  It is addiction or grande passion.  It is something being done behind someone’s back as in embezzlement, conspiracy, undermining, subterfuge and sabotage. Mooches of all stripes, including bad spirits out to tempt you onto their playing field. Two of Cups is a relationship that has some undeclared motivation to it, whether from a third party or a participant. People miss the malefic bent of Two of Cups because they don’t know the caduceus (the twined snakes, lion’s head and wings symbol at the top middle of the Rider Waite Tarot card) symbolizes vampirism.

Lovers (“Connect.”) is about connecting and connection, about contact and association and partnership.  Lovers too, of course.  Its other meanings are not in use today.  The illustration shows a volcano between Adam and Eve and the angel watching over them.  The physical lovers aspect is here accentuated because Two of Cups is beside it.

Six of Swords (“Shun.”) finally gets out of there and heads off to better times.  The future ahead is better than the dismal past behind.  Shun, escape, move on. A mother and child in a boat designed for shallow water are being poled away from shore and are headed out of there poor in spirit and wearing poor clothes.
