GUIDANCE Even if I know exactly what I want, the hidden cost of it is unknowable … until I get there. ‘Be careful what you wish for,’ we say. I very well may deal with something untrustworthy on the way to where I want to be. And do I really want this wish of mine to be granted if other people’s interests are also involved in it? Knowing how to deal with other people’s (What’s In It For Me) motives is usually the way people do get their precious purpose accomplished. So, am I up for that?

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES..
….. …….…… ….. Hanged Man and Two of Cups together are fascinating.
Hanged Man is knowing, and is extrasensory perception.
Two of Cups is not knowing a factor that influences, or even controls, the situation you are in. *Unidentified parties to the transaction you are in* includes all sorts of things, from silent partners to a lover’s cheating to liens to frenemies to embezzlement and taxes, and even to interference by spirits in a transaction or relationship between people. Two of Cups is undeclared motives and undeclared interests of any and all kinds.
Hanged Man and Two of Cups together say ‘knowing what you don’t know’ or ‘knowing that there is something you don’t know.’ They say ‘sensing you are dealing with a crook’ and ‘knowing there’s a hidden price to pay.’ These two cards cover all sorts of scenarios and stories.
And the other card? – darn, it’s you, Nine of Cups: rewarding; getting what you want … and ‘what you want.’ Nine of Cups is accomplishing your purpose.
Nine of Cups and Hanged Man is really wanting to know, and is knowing what you want. It is desiring enlightenment fiercely. It can be realizing you already have what you wanted. It can be suddenly getting it: ‘What I really want is ….’ It describes getting the vision you want … or a vision of wanting it all. It even describes suddenly knowing what you wanted to know. (Tarot is like that: intertwined.)
Nine of Cups and Two of Cups can be wanting to get laid, or wanting to cheat. It can talk about the hidden disadvantage, the hidden price, of what you want … especially if that disadvantage is dealing with the shadow side, dealing with an untrustworthy party.
So we have stories. Stories about accomplishing your purpose by dealing with untrustworthy parties. Stories about knowingly getting rich by conniving.
And the focus of the message of the day is twofold: (1) Keep in mind that there are unknowns that may affect what you want to accomplish and (2) use adverse factors to get where you want to be. (Sometimes parasites can be useful?)

GET A SINGLE CARD’S MEANINGS: TYPE ITS NAME AND ‘TAROT VERBATIM’ INTO GOOGLE.
Nine of Cups Nine of Cups is having what you want, or wanting it. The feeling you get after a sumptuous meal, like the illustration here shows. Being rich. Your dream comes true. You achieve your purpose. You are pleased, or you are pleasing someone. You are content with what you have, which is another way of having it all. (Buddha pointed that out a few thousand years ago.) Nine of Cups links wanting and having, which some people think is the law of attraction. (The law of attraction is really more like ‘Be what you want,’ but never mind.) Today Hanged Man brings out that link between envisioning and having.
Hanged Man Hanged Man is enlightenment, realization, envisioning and all extrasensory perception. ‘Having a feeling’ is extrasensory perception; so is having a hunch. Hanged Man, as the subconscious, as knowing subliminally, sits next to Two of Cups, which is often ‘up to something’ and represents third-party interference. These two converge into all sorts of drama. Suspecting the hidden cost, Hanged Man and Two of Cups can say. Watch for it.
Hanged Man’s ESP extends to spiritual wisdom too. The illustration … if you know the myths … is what tells you that. Several myths, the world over, have the principal character of their story sacrificing a body part by hanging himself on a three, often for three days. All-father Odin, for one. Blend this concept with Two of Cups, representing the dark side, the evil motive or friendly enemy, and you have: knowledge of the shadow side; you have spiritual wisdom. You also have ‘knowing what’s up.’
Two of Cups Two of Cups in Tarot Verbatim™ is not the romance and love card of other systems. Tarot Verbatim takes that caduceus very seriously, especially since it has not only the snakes but the lion’s head and the wings as well. This is a cobbled-together dark magic symbol. (Arthur Waite was known for this cobbling-together practice.) Moses, as a high-ranking Egyptian prince, was taught magic, and he married the daughter of a high priest (Miriam). Moses used the snakes to prevent people from being bitten by real snakes, the Bible recounts. So … the caduceus is high magic.
The caduceus is between, and overlooking, a couple who are ‘pledging their troth,’ meaning being engaged – which is being married, back then. So this illustration is about a dark-side overshadowing of a transaction between humans. Two of Cups isn’t just spirit sabotage, of course; it represent any third-party butting in at all.
In today’s spread, with Hanged Man as extrasensory perception, we are talking about the interference, or the role, of nonphysical entities – which can include, say, the culture you are a part of, or your loyalty to some group … any group. Damn, this card shows up for sports fanatics!
.
.
The art of the deal. How to get what you want from them? Know what they want from you, that’s how. And that knowing may be subliminal, subconscious, or even sneaky. The deal is done when you arrive at ‘I give you what you want; you give me what I want.’ In polite society, we refer to this as motivating people.

Guidance Twofold message here: It’s what you want and what they want. One main message is that, to achieve your dream, vigilance pays. Don’t let anything – any distraction, any dilution, anyone who feels entitled to a percent of your soul – get in the way of that dream. A compromise is a threat when you know exactly what you want, especially because compromises seem to metastasize. The other message describes ruthless unscrupulous people who feel entitled to others’ time and labor, to their emotions and their possessions: It’s about what they want.
Are YOU here for the first time? Come in!

Two of Cups
Nine of Cups – Knight of Pentacles – Page of Swords
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
We start with having it all (Nine of Cups), usually one of the best cards to have in your story. And it is here to say that, in order to get what you want,
Knight of Pentacles and Two of Cups … pay attention to whatever forces lurk out there to deplete and dilute it. Knight of Pentacles is paying attention – one thng on his mind, obsessive interest even. Two of Cups is an undeclared motive or interest that is taking advantage of someone in a relationship or deal. You can think of it as the opposite, generally, of Three of Pentacles (deal and/or relationship, each party doing its part). Two of Cups is using someone, cheating, embezzling, conning or deceiving another person (or company).
So today Nine of Cups is in bad company (influenced by malefic elements). Today there’s the fellow who is obsessed with one thing (Knight of Pentacles) who is something of a bad guy or ruffian; there’s being threatened or all worked up (excited, jealous or suspicious) about something lurking out there (Page of Swords); then there’s intrigue itself (Two of Cups) which is about conning, using, deceiving or ‘cheating/cheating on’ the person who are dealing with, and is also about existence of undisclosed people or circumstances to a transaction. Like buying a stolen car from a car lot. So ‘your wish is granted’ is more than a little out of place.
So today tells us to be very aware of self-interest, of people who have one thing on their mind, whether it’s sex or money or just getting attention by being superlatively annoying.
Nine of Cups and Knight of Pentacles are both about what someone wants. Nine of Cups is about having it, and Knight of Pentacles is about having it on the mind. The other two cards are both threats to that:
Page of Swords and Two of Cups … Page of Swords is literally the threat, and Two of Cups is the taking by stealth of what is another’s.
HERE ARE PHRASES FOR ALL SIX 2-CARD COMBINATIONS

Nine of Cups The plump fella with the goofy grin and emply glasses on the mantel says it all: safunsified. Everything is all right, that feeling. Satisfaction and contentment. Having it all, having what you want – any shade of that from contentment to utter greed of a ruthless criminal or politician. Your dream, your goal, your payoff, your profit, your bonanza, your heart’s desire – something lucrative.
Sometimes it’s just what is wanted, or even means greed – but even then it’s close to a foregone conclusion that the want will be granted in some fashion, like it’s a well-founded expectation.
Knight of Pentacles stares at this one thing that’s his focus, that’s the one thing on his mind. He is the short, dark, sturdy type, the Don Johnson type: the bad boy, ruffian, macho fellow. Concentration, focus, even obsession. He shades Nine of Cups toward greed: see how that is?
Main meanings of this Knight are the ‘prioritize’ or ‘number one’ class; the ‘Be alert to’ or ‘one thing on his mind’ class; the ‘concentrate’ or ‘focus on’ class; the ‘keep an eye on’ or watch class; the bad-boy or ruffian/punk class. In milder form, this Rider Waite Tarot citizen simply means to look at or be an onlooker.
Page of Swords whirls around, brandishing his weapon in paranoia. Something is out there, he doesn’t know what. He can feel it but he can’t see it. We all get this feeling at times: alert to we know not what.
The most common phrases for this Rider Waite Tarot denizen describe that feeling – distraction, hyper, alert, excited or excitement, threat, nervously, panic, upset, frantic, agitated, paranoia, annoyed, jealous, get all worked up about, danger(s), challenge, defensive and high-strung. ‘Whatever lurks out there’ – such phrases as this focus on the threat rather than the person feeling that way.
Then there’s the thrilling end of Page of Swords: anticipation, the ‘can hardly wait for Christmas’ excitement.
Two of Cups This is a complex one. It is actually esoteric, about third-party participation that is not known: interference. So it embraces a spectrum. Dealing with John but Henry put him up to it … that type of thing. Spirit interference, nosy people all the way from the landlord to the government.
It also speaks of sexual love affairs, whether the hookup or the grande passion. A triangle, especially one in which one party isn’t aware. Screwy deals, being a sucker, inside trading. Get in on it, horn in on it, taking advantage. It comes with a twist …
The caduceus in the illustration is the tipoff. It represents spiritual interference. I have written about it here in the past.
