GUIDANCE What to do, we ponder, when something appears or disappears. Uh, we also ponder ‘What have I done?’ to make some shift occur. There are also times when we inquire of ourselves whether it’s time for us to leave, or why someone else isn’t around anymore. Nothing makes us think like a change unexplained!
.
Are YOU here for the first time? Come in!
People love this place! Our site is divided into three sections: Guidance; Group Tarot Cards Readings; Learn Tarot by Observing and Learn Tarot by Pictures.
So what do you want to do? –
Did you come here for YOUR PREDICTIONS? – daily trends? –

GUIDANCE,
*Then you read the one-sentence readings below titled GROUP TAROT CARDS READING – and you’re done: See you tomorrow. Invite your friends. At the very bottom are comments. New! – the black boxes to the right as you scroll down allow you to comment right there.

Magician – We just happen to be neatly using Magician’s full spectrum of words and phrases here. This spread is a study of Magician’s vocabulary. Think a shorthand ‘He does/acts/starts/makes’ and you can remember Magician’s headlines. Except Magician embraces a few pronouns besides ‘he’ – his most common one. I, myself, him, himself, and the ‘do it yourself’ category. If your sentence is in passive voice, in which the action ‘was done to,’ then any pronoun is common but would not be directly attributed to Magician. Another aspect of Magician’s general ‘do’ meaning is that he can translate forms of ‘what was done’ or ‘what I/he did.’ Those are noun clauses in sentence structure.
.
Be aware that since Magician is all about the doing of something, he can get lost in the action of another verb from another card, and just end up being a pronoun. Not to worry – Magician doesn’t mind. You can see instances of Magician blending with the action of another card here, where I have underlined, indicating two cards sharing.
.
Magician refers to creation and creating, esoterically speaking. Fool, Magician, High Priestess, Empress, and Emperor refer to the stages of something coming into being, then being active, then passing into being established, in the physical realm. An idea is, like a blueprint, made into something concrete and stays that way – for example. Once it’s perfected, it stagnates – no more change. Details of this process are explained in full in Tarot Email Training that relates to those cards.
.
Now for the picture. Magician is male, and is 1 (the first). Esoterically, 1 is a start, and male is the active principle (activity, doing, initiating), female is the receptive principle (thinking, knowing). One hand reaches upward, with the wand in it, to bring down (to channel) nonphysical influence, through himself, the operator. The other hand points downward to ground the flow. The sideways 8 over his head is the eternity sign (lemniscate) which of course is a flow. On the table are the suits of Tarot (sword, cup, pentacle – the wand is in his hand). One of Magician’s meanings is willpower, and magicians’ definition of magic is ‘willpower.’
Seven of Pentacles – Seven of Pentacles is one of the very easy cards to apply, so it is an anchor card (one that you look at first because it is more reliable). What you see here is a fellow who planted a cucumber vine. He won’t know whether it will grow him cucumbers until it does or does not bloom (Blooms make fruit.) because it’s a gendered plant and he doesn’t know whether a plant of the opposite gender is close by enough for bees to pollinate his. Seven of Pentacles especially describes those moments when you have done the work and don’t yet know whether you get the reward.
.
Wonder. Ponder. Consider. Uncertainty. Seems. If, iffy. Seven of Pentacles owns just about any expression of not knowing, and any of the phrases that create the question form of your sentence (like these: won’t you, doesn’t he, has he, if only, what can I). Seven of Pentacles says ‘maybe’ very often. Look for phrases with ‘think’ or ‘know’ in them that are negatively modified. Here are some examples of that: wish I knew, when I don’t know, overthinking, if you think about it, before I even knew, can’t make up my mind, thinking about it, I think, had no idea, figure out how to.
.
I think of Seven of Pentacles and Page of Cups as ‘duh’ cards – cards that express situations where you might say ‘Duh.’ or might attribute that to another person. And both of these can put your spread’s sentence into question form. (Note that Page of Cups as the first Self card in a Celtic Cross spread can indicate that the question is somehow defective – that it doesn’t make sense, or is somehow not capable of a direct answer.
Eight of Cups – Eight of Cups is one of the Tarot cards that you have to know the story to skilfully apply. A hint is in the two moon phases glued together up there, suggesting end and beginning. The story is that this pilgrim (Pilgrims wore red as a badge back then.) is going out of his way, detouring, because the mountain is in the way. He will resume his journey: That assumption is built into the full and proper meaning of the card, not that it always applies.
.
This story is loosely applied, in real-life Tarot practice. Watch for Eight of Cups to translate ‘not … anymore’ fairly often, with the meaning of another card where the ellipses is. (If you are researching Eight of Cups for its full spectrum, Google ‘Eight of Cups Tarot Verbatim’ for all the things it has said in all the contexts it has appeared on our site.)
.
Eight of Cups most often means ‘leave’ or ‘quit,’ in any of their forms. It often means ‘avoid.’ It often translates ‘change’ or words that, in that sentence’s context, mean ‘change.’
.
Since the pilgrim’s course is disrupted, interrupted, interfered with, dropped, or abruptly ended, any language that described a situation like that belongs to Eight of Cups. Especially ‘detour’ and ‘run off the road’ for the change of course. Eight of Cups also shows up for ‘avoid.’ Watch for it to ‘duck out’ once in a while.
.
In a similar way to Magician’s getting absorbed into the action of another card, Eight of Cups ends up sometimes translating as a negator even though it is not one all by itself. Today, for example, it translates ‘I don’t do it’ when the rest of the sentence lays the foundation of ‘When I don’t know what I’m doing.’ Eight of Cups refrains from finishing something, which is how it gets to say ‘avoid’ and some other of today’s phrases like: not one time has he; it ends here; no more.

In the center position, Seven of Wands wonders whether. To his left is Magician doing it. To his right is Eight of Cups not doing it. So that is the central and most common story these three Tarot cards tell you. You can see that this spread says both ‘ I don’t know why I didn’t do it,’ and ‘ Maybe make a change,’ and ‘ Why oh why did I go out of my way and do that?’ Just look at the variations in today’s readings, in the sentences we have for you here.

Stalled. Got myself off course before I even knew it. What can I do to make this happen? – how can I get something that has been disrupted started again? It seems to have ended at the beginning, so maybe I won’t finish what I started. Maybe I should quit overthinking? If only I could instantly change myself.

Magician – Today’s readings are a great example of how Magician gets swallowed up by other cards’ meanings because Magician means: do, start, make, initiate or initiative. Those words are inferred in the meanings of some other cards. Today Magician and Eight of Cups are about not doing something or not doing it anymore. Today Magician and Six of Pentacles are about the doing of: paying bills, treating other people right, giving respect or attention, doing ‘it’ right.
.
Magician in Rider Waite represents the active principle, represents the doing (not the thinking or anything else, just action). Refer to the two-card combination parts at the end of this post to see how Magician gets swallowed up in the action that other cards specify the nature of.
Eight of Cups – A pilgrim, the story here is, detours around a mountain, going out of his way. The pilgrim will resume his direction once past the obstacle, and bear in mind Eight of Cups sometimes means that.
.
Eight of Cups is on a journey: He has left but has not arrived. That is true of Six of Swords as well. But Six of Swords’ journey is going from one place to another directly, and Eight of Cups encounters a disruption, goes off the road (in any sense), or aborts course. Eight of Cups is leaving, quitting, dropping out, walking away, not showing up (A. W. O. L.).
.
Look for Eight of Cups to mean a change. Look for it to mean ‘on the road’ or traveling. It is one of several cards that mean to switch from one to another or to switch direction.
.
Eight of Cups means to drop out, as well as to go out of your way, two opposite things.
.
Eight of Cups also means a disruption or interruption.
.
So Eight of Cups has odd meanings. It is not an anchor card; you fit it into the others, usually. The beginning and ending moon phases can mean things like: a month, ‘burning the midnight oil,’ dusk, twilight. You get a feel for what this card is talking about, with experience. (If you are looking for exhaustive meanings for this Eight of Cups fellow, Google ‘Eight of Cups Tarot Verbatim’ and the archives will spill all. Be sure to click on the ‘more’ after the usual six or so beginning items.)
.
In its present company, Eight of Cups is acting as a negator (negative modifier), which isn’t its usual function.
Six of Pentacles – He has some scales and the coins he pays them with for what they do for him. Treating people right and doing the right thing are major portions of Six of Pentacles’ meanings. The point is fairness because he is going by the weight of the gold that’s left in the coins rather than the face value. Six of Pentacles is a fair exchange; is commerce; is a paycheck or labor expense. It is also the card for making payments.
.
An exchange involves both giving and receiving, of course. And the scales bring justice into the dictionary of Six of Pentacles.
.
This exchange extends to paying attention, giving respect and getting it, and getting what is deserved (either way). The act of dropping the coins into the hands of other people, along with the fact Six of Pentacles is about ‘treating’ people fairly, stretches this card to dispensing medicines and treating people medically. Six of Pentacles translates ‘treatment.’
.
.
.
.
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES
. ….. .. ..
Magician tends to fade into the meaning of other cards when they are talking about doing something, so that Magician’s ‘ do’ phrase is extraneous. This makes Eight of Cups translate ‘ doesn’t,’ a negative modifier, which isn’t its real function. An action card ( Six of Pentacles in this case) modified by Eight of Cups ends up saying he isn’t paying, but the literal interpretation would be something like: ‘ What he is doing is, he is not (fill in the other card’s meaning – Six of Pentacles in this case).’ So ‘ isn’t paying his bills’ for Eight of Cups and Six of Pentacles … because we would not say ‘ what he is doing is not paying his bills.’ Eight of Cups means ‘ to avoid’ or ‘ avoiding,’ and it would be equally awkward, language-wise, to say ‘ What he is doing is avoiding paying.’ Eight of Cups says ‘ ain’t doin’ it’ with Magician, but Eight of Cups, as I said, isn’t really a negator … that’s not his job as a rule. It’s a matter of phrasing in English.
.
As a member of the justice Tarot tribe, Six of Pentacles may translate ‘ right’: treat me right, do what’s proper.
.
As a member of the financial Tarot tribe, Six of Pentacles may translate ‘affordable,’ ‘for that price,’ ‘pays off,’ ‘payback,’ ‘paycheck,’ and ‘pays me for that.’
.
Often the presence of Eight of Cups in a three-card spread makes conflicting stories because Eight of Cups is incompletion, and it can apply to either of the other two cards. In real-life Tarot practice, the question or other ‘knowns’ will supply how to interpret.
.
So Six of Pentacles is getting paid, Magician is doing it, and Eight of Cups can be about not getting paid or not doing it. See? Or getting paid for not doing.
.
The fairness theme of Six of Pentacles extends to legal proceedings: See the scales of justice there? The word ‘dispense’ is called up sometimes, and so is ‘ give,’ of course. The ‘ dispense’ and ‘ give’ meanings stretch to include prescription medications.

Noticing things not usually noticed today. We are talking about change today: the change that is the effect from things not being done anymore, whether it’s not making payments anymore, not taking those pills anymore, to quit being the one to make the first move. We are talking also about the change that is about things beginning to happen: doing something about not paying bills on time; just doing it with no thought of reward; starting medical treatment and what a nice change; going out of your way to do the right thing, or take the initiative.

Advice is making the distinction between being right and being moral, between being of good repute and doing right by others, giving everyone his due. In the same way, it makes the distinction between the pay scale for the work and the actual work done for the actual pay. Such disparities are the norm, we say. They don’t pay you for doing what you are supposed to. Doing the accepted thing isn’t doing the right thing.
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.
The Question for weekdays is: “Tell the visitors here something useful and meaningful to them. The Question for weekends is stated right on top on those days.
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
Right away, we have a contrast between doing right by people and/or being treated right by them in the Six of Pentacles story, and the appearance of doing right in Hierophant story.
Since Six of Pentacles is getting paid for work done, and Eight of Cups suggests incompletion, we have a financial theme too.
Magician tells us this spread will be about doing, about actions. Eight of Cups tells us the story is about action not being completed, something being avoided or ducked out on or walked away from.
So in the middle we have getting paid. To the left, appropriately and according to the paperwork. To the right, something isn’t finished or doesn’t happen, or doesn’t happen fully. Above, something is done.
MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: INDIVIDUAL RIDER WAITE TAROT CARDS
Hierophant is the show of religion. That is the pope in his regalia and the priests in theirs, so it is about church, but can refer to the show of any religion, or religiosity or hypocrisy. (And you don’t have to be Christian to be a hypocrite!) It means the accepted moral conventional whatever, and also means ordinary, normal and ‘no harm.’ ‘For appearance’s sake’ is a good key phrase for this Rider Waite Tarot card. Hierophant is about respectability, about looking clean (‘having a clean nose’). It is a nice normal decent-looking whatever. It is the accepted whatever, is approved, is official.
Six of Pentacles, on the other hand is doing right by others, giving others their due, paying the appropriate attention to anything. It is getting paid fairly or paying a fair price, illustrated literally by an employer weighing the coins he is paying the workers.
Eight of Cups abruptly is off the designated route – in this case because the road could go no other way. It means incompletion, detour, re-routing, dropping out, not finishing whatever.
Magician is the active principle, the male principle. It is the act of, doing – any tense of the verb ‘do’ and most tenses of ‘make,’ and also means ‘to bring about. No planning or thinking is involved per se in this card’s meaning, just as no action meanings are involved in the female principle, High Priestess.
