Tarot Readings for You for May 3, 2014 Saturday©

Tarot Verbatim

Guidance      How beneficial *the suffering we have overcome* is.   Being broke can teach us how to have money and keep it so we are financially stable.  It’s the Dark Night of the Soul that makes us spiritually adept.  It’s facing bankruptcy that makes us financially astute.  Heartache instructs our enjoyment of peace and quiet – when we finally do arrive there.  All’s well that ends well, we forget the birth pangs when we live *our new baby life* to the full.  I get the independence I crave by negotiating the ghetto within.  We are saying here that poor times, both in spiritual and financial life, are money in the bank after all is said and done.

Nine of Pentacles – Nine of Cups – Strength

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

.

Once again Tarot (Rider Waite Tarot in Tarot Verbatim ™ ) has paralleled spiritual stature with financial attainment. Interesting, that.

Nine of Pentacles and Strength Both Nine of Pentacles and Strength are women in control of their situation, their lives.

Nine of Pentacles owns her place and owns her space, is ‘large and in charge,’ has already succeeded financially, and isn’t in any struggle but is doing whatever she pleases and minding her own business. Nine of Pentacles is a study in ‘enough’: Her position can be one of being satisfied and content with right where she’s at. This can be the way she is so rich and powerful that she is not answering her phone and is independent.

Strength, on the other hand, overcomes her struggles by superior defense: She defuses opposition by stroking it the right way until it purrs the way she wants it to. She is adept, spiritually superior, a skilled handler you just don’t cross if you’re smart. She is the lady (with PMS?) the muggers make room for. But she is not assertive, just capable of handling anything. She too minds her own business. You can see how two people like this would be allies. They can be the same person, of course, in a Tarot spread.

Nine of Cups and Five of Pentacles Then we have Nine of Cups having it all and Five of Pentacles lacking it all. Greed vs. destitution, the very wealthy and the very poor. But these are also contentment versus self-pity or being miserable (or making yourself miserable). Today they say that sacrifice is the way to have the life you want, that doing without is the path to wealth.

Then we have Nine of Cups having it all and Five of Pentacles lacking it all. Greed vs. destitution, the very wealthy and the very poor.

Strength and Five of Pentacles But Five of Pentacles is also about the Dark Night of the Soul spiritual phase, and Strength is one who is spiritually superior. After a peak experience, there is a letdown that Five of Pentacles illustrates. A person is drained, oblivious and depressed like the street people who are passing a warm church by, where there is food, without even noticing, they are so numbed out. Can you see the parallel to the contrast between ‘having it all’ and being broke, here?

Nine of Pentacles and Nine of CupsNine of Pentacles and Nine of Cups have it all, want for nothing – or, each is content with what he or she has (another form of riches). Nine of Pentacles is about ownership of the means of production, being in charge of an enterprise (the proprietor, the entrepreneur), being stable financially; whereas Nine of Cups is just ‘high on the hog’ well off and has whatever she or she wants … or is satisfied with what he or she has.

Nine of Pentacles and Five of Pentacles Nine of Pentacles owns a home; Five of Pentacles is homeless on the street. The contrast here is not only money, but the difference between being in charge of your circumstances or not, as well as being self-confident versus being sorry for yourself. (Not that self-pity is wrong: If you can feel sorry for another suffering soul, why not treat yourself to the same?)

And when you add Five of Pentacles, it’s to make others miserable or to deprive them. Think of Nine of Pentacles and Strength and Five of Pentacles as ‘Hard-hearted Hannah’ (Ray Charles’ song) keeping her man-friend under her thumb, or keeping the peasants in their place.

LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES

Nine of Pentacles is entrenched in ownership, is ‘large and in charge,’ has already succeeded financially to her (or his) satisfaction, and is stable financially. She isn’t in any struggle but is doing whatever she pleases and minding her own business, being in control of her situation, her life. She can own her home or own an enterprise and the means of production. She is a proud and private person who minds her own business and expects you to mind yours. There she is in the vineyard with her falcon, having that ‘I’ve got mine’ look and stance, with a snail at her feet to let you know she is a lady of leisure who does things in her own sweet time.

Nine of Cups The very wealthy can stay drunk or high and still be successful, you know. They do that in Palm Beach a lot. Probably in D. C. too? This is the person who has it all and is used to it, the person who has no concept of ‘enough.’ The American dream. It means greed too, of course. A bellyfull or a full belly. It is what you want as well, or even wanting. But even then it retains the whiff of excess. That’s Nine of Cups’ stereotype. Look for it to also, in a big way, mean satisfaction, to please or to be pleased, and even (with support cards) to be content.

Strength handles, overcomes and solves. Gracefully. The illustration shows the spiritual adept (expert) holding the mouth shut of the predator while she pets him and he purrs. The point is that knowing what you are doing makes things easy, that a superior person is unopposed. The eternity symbol above her head and the white robe with flowers are symbolic of spiritual mastery. She solves situations – hers and yours. The cards’ more negative meaning is to shut up the bully, or to make someone behave.

Five of Pentacles Us at our lowest point. Been down so long it looks like up to me. Numb with despair and blind to the escape from misery. Dark Night of the Soul, a port on one’s spiritual journey, feels just like that. These are the times our energy is drained, spiritually or physically. This is the way mooches and vampires make us feel … and it’s when they find us too. This is being homeless and sick. This is being broke and doing without. This is being lonely and hurt. The message of the Rider Waite Tarot card is that there is warmth and food in the cathedral that they are trudging by without seeing. The message often is: Pay attention!

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.

The four Rider-Waite Tarot cards here, in Tarot Verbatim™, have a lot of interplay on unrelated topics; they are very rich in meanings. Gender is irrelevant despite females being featured, so apply these messages generously to yourself today.

Once again Tarot (Rider Waite Tarot in Tarot Verbatim ™ ) has paralleled spiritual stature with financial attainment. Interesting, that.

Nine of Pentacles and Strength Both Nine of Pentacles and Strength are women in control of their situation, their lives.

Nine of Pentacles owns her place and owns her space, is ‘large and in charge,’ has already succeeded financially, and isn’t in any struggle but is doing whatever she pleases and minding her own business. Nine of Pentacles is a study in ‘enough’: Her position can be one of being satisfied and content with right where she’s at. This can be how she is so rich and powerful that she is not answering her phone and is independent.

Strength, on the other hand, overcomes her struggles by superior defense: She defuses opposition by stroking it the right way until it purrs the way she wants it to. She is adept, spiritually superior, a skilled handler you just don’t cross if you’re smart. She is the lady (with PMS?) the muggers make room for. But she is not assertive, just capable of handling anything. She too minds her own business. You can see how two people like this would be allies. They can be the same person, of course, in a Tarot spread.

Nine of Cups and Five of Pentacles Then we have Nine of Cups having it all and Five of Pentacles lacking it all. Greed vs. destitution, the very wealthy and the very poor. But these are also contentment versus self-pity or being miserable (or making yourself miserable). Today they say that sacrifice is the way to have the life you want, that doing without is the path to wealth.

After a peak experience, there is a letdown that Five of Pentacles illustrates.

Nine of Pentacles is about ownership of the means of production, being in charge of an enterprise (the proprietor, the entrepreneur), being stable financially; whereas Nine of Cups is just ‘high on the hog’ well off and has whatever she or she wants … or is satisfied with what he or she has.

Nine of Pentacles and Five of Pentacles Nine of Pentacles owns a home; Five of Pentacles is homeless on the street. The contrast here is not only money, but the difference between being in charge of your circumstances or not, as well as being self-confident versus being sorry for yourself. (Not that self-pity is wrong: If you can feel sorry for another suffering soul, why not treat yourself to the same?)

Nine of Pentacles and Strength describe the woman who gets the upper hand to Keep someone down or under her control.

And when you add Five of Pentacles, it’s to make others miserable or to deprive them. Think of Nine of Pentacles + Strength + Five of Pentacles as ‘Hard-hearted Hannah’ (Ray Charles’ song) keeping her man-friend under her thumb, or keeping the peasants in their place.

LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES

Nine of Pentacles is entrenched in ownership, is ‘large and in charge,’ has already succeeded financially to her (or his) satisfaction, and is stable financially. She isn’t in any struggle but is doing whatever she pleases and minding her own business, being in control of her situation, her life. She can own her home or own an enterprise and the means of production. She is a proud and private person who minds her own business and expects you to mind yours. There she is in the vineyard with her falcon, having that ‘I’ve got mine’ look and stance, with a snail at her feet to let you know she is a lady of leisure who does things in her own sweet time.

Nine of Cups The very wealthy can stay drunk or high and still be successful, you know. They do that in Palm Beach a lot. Probably in D. C. too? This is the person who has it all and is used to it, the person who has no concept of ‘enough.’ The American dream. It means greed too, of course. A bellyfull or a full belly. It is what you want as well, or even wanting. But even then it retains the whiff of excess. That’s Nine of Cups’ stereotype. Look for it to also, in a big way, mean satisfaction, to please or to be pleased, and even (with support cards) to be content.

Strength handles, overcomes and solves. Gracefully. The illustration shows the spiritual adept (expert) holding the mouth shut of the predator while she pets him and he purrs. The point is that knowing what you are doing makes things easy, that a superior person is unopposed. The eternity symbol above her head and the white robe with flowers are symbolic of spiritual mastery. She solves situations – hers and yours. The cards’ more negative meaning is to shut up the bully, or to make someone behave.

Five of Pentacles Us at our lowest point. Been down so long it looks like up to me. Numb with despair and blind to the escape from misery. Dark Night of the Soul, a port on one’s spiritual journey, feels just like that. These are the times our energy is drained, spiritually or physically. This is the way mooches and vampires make us feel … and it’s when they find us too. This is being homeless and sick. This is being broke and doing without. This is being lonely and hurt. The message of the Rider Waite Tarot card is that there is warmth and food in the cathedral that they are trudging by without seeing. The message often is: Pay attention!
