LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
The pattern today is pairs of cards that mean the same thing. Both Page of Swords and Nine of Wands are about anxiety, apprehension, edgy uncomfortable uneasy and defensive feelings. Page of Swords is that fear of things out there unseen; Nine of Wands is being afraid something that you battled and were hurt by is coming back to get you, but you are holding your ground. Very similar meanings, and both are about fear.
Both Temperance and Knight of Cups are about intimacy. Knight of Cups is the friendly relaxed fella who is everybody’s buddy, who makes the first move to shake hands. Temperance is the close or intimate relationship, and it means to deal one-on-one with someone.
So this spread echoes uncomfortable friendship, different styles and flavors of that circumstance.
LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES
Page of Swords – here’s that fearful dude, hair swinging, whipping around, sword twirling in the air, and no one around for miles. He is nervous, irritated, paranoid. At best, he he thrilled or worked up about something.
Temperance is dealing with, usually dealing closely with someone. It is a close friendship or intimate partner. It can be about healing, not today. The angel pours water and wine together to dilute it. This is one of those ‘extra’ cards the Middle Ages added to make the deck acceptable to religious people who would accuse people of witchcraft. The picture does not have much to do with the meaning Tarot Verbatim(TM) attributes to Temperance.
Knight of Cups is the friendly guy, the boyfriend, the pleasant fellow who agrees, who meets and greets skillfully. He is depicted sitting on a still horse offering someone a drink. All the lines are curved and relaxed and all the colors of the drawing are pale and pleasant.
Nine of Wands is another high-strung fella. He has a right to be. He has been wounded guarding this border, once, and they are likely, he feels, to attack again. He is already wounded in the head. He rests on his pole anxiously, standing upright. He means defensiveness and nervousness, feeling tense and ill at ease.
EXPLANATIONS: [Use the arrow at lower right to skip this and go to Comments.]
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(TM).
In these group readings, there’s no question (and no Questioner) to limit what the four cards can mean, so they can mean opposite things.
When there is a negative-meaning card (a ‘negator,’ I call them), the readings contradict one another because that card can make any of the other cards in the spread negative. Negator cards mean things like: no, never, not, end, can’t, etc. Never be queasy about the number of ‘bad’ card because it takes two bad cards to say ‘not dead’ and only one to say ‘dead.’
Without a question or a Questioner, pronouns (I, you, he, she, we, they, etc.) are very flexible. I leave out pronouns in writing this as much as possible – awkward to do that sometimes. When I put them in parentheses, feel very free to change them around to suit yourself.
Now in a ‘real’ individual reading, the questioner asks a specific question which provides at least half the information! In an individual’s reading, the parties are identified and sometimes a time frame is too. Here, in a group reading, we cannot do that and so we get more variety of sentences.
Horoscopes are group readings, too. Astrology is based on someone else’s birth data, though, so a ‘solar’ group horoscope never really solidly applies to you! (Astrologers want you to know this!)
Tarot successfully addresses the group of visitors, whoever they are. It provides useful information that applies to their daily lives: They tell you this in the comments, for three years now. Tarot can tell you things about people you don’t know personally – such as whoever on your job has a say in your raise or continued employment there, whether that is one person or many. Visitors report that the information is equally accurate for new visitors as it is for the family of regular visitors.
Do you want to read Rider Waite Tarot, yourself? Start with Learn Tarot by Pictures to get the day’s cards’ individual meanings; then read Learn Tarot by Observation, which gives you the thinking those four cards inspire in a qualified reader. Next, Group Analytical Tarot Cards Reading is the various things those four cards can say (without a question to guide them). Then, Guidance is a summary.
In this way, your intuition allows you to learn to read the cards without much effort if you come often enough. Regular visitors can just put it together.

Four Card Spreads, Our Daily Spread
Advice is about some types of close friendships and relationships that make us uneasy, and some times that close friendships and relationships make us uneasy. A buddy gets on our nerves. Being anxious about being close for different reasons. Having to be more of a friend to someone, because of circumstances, than we really feel. We have all been these places, and here they are delineated. One wonders why. =============================================================================== Is this the first time you come here? Well … what to do:
*Go to Daily Message Tarot Analysis below. At least one 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?”)
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. Comment or call if you have a suggestion for a question.
(Some days are ‘keep an eye open for’ and some days are ‘green light, go fast.’)
*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.
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 The pattern today is pairs of cards that mean the same thing. Both Page of Swords and Nine of Wands are about anxiety, apprehension, edgy uncomfortable feelings. Both Temperance and Knight of Cups are about intimacy. Knight of Cups is the friendly relaxed fella who is everyone’s friend, who makes the first move to shake hands. Temperance is the close or intimate relationship, and it means to deal one-on-one with someone. So this spread will be talking twice about uncomfortable friendship, different flavors of that. MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: INDIVIDUAL RIDER WAITE TAROT CARDS Page of Swords – here’s that fearful dude, hair swinging, whipping around, sword twirling in the air, and no one around for miles. He is nervous, irritated, paranoid. At best, he he thrilled or worked up about something. Temperance is dealing with, usually dealing closely with someone.

Four Card Spreads, Our Daily Spread, Tarot Verbatim
One thing gives him the willies: standing too close to him and talking too much
Temperance
Knight of Pentacles, Nine of Wands, Star
Romantic Perspective:
He knows how important it is (He pressures himself about this!) to say “I love you” to his partner.
He obsesses nervously about how close this relationship is, how in love he is.
A cowboy is self-conscious (Hope nobody’s lookin’.) about confessing his love, being real close.
Being the intimate partner of such a beautiful bodied dame makes a guy fearful.
He has one goal and he sweats it out: to be the man this goddess is intimate with.
Such a macho man gets nervous when he is alone love-talkin’ with his intimate partner.
As much as he hates it, the one thing he has to do is tell his lady-love all about (this).
Out of all that talk, he focuses on one thing: he loathes hand-to-hand deals.
One thing gives him the willies: standing too close to him and talking too much.
She gushes to a macho man about how in love with him she is as if they were already close, and this is torture to him.
A guy forces himself to say that mushy ‘I love you’ stuff to his woman in private.
This is another Johnny-one-note spread. Forget about business, we begin with intimacy, Temperance, and then end with confessing love, Star. In between is the macho dude, Knight of Pentacles, with one thing on his mind … What else could it be, with the other cards saying what they say? … and the Nine of Wands, being on guard, sweating it out, dreading and feeling mighty uneasy about this.
Advice to derive from these four Rider Waite Tarot cards is that guys hate being mushy. A real cowboy would rather kiss his horse at the end of the movie. He is under a lot of pressure when it comes to intimacy, maximum pressure when it comes to admitting intimacy.
Meanings and Illustrations:
Temperance: Intimacy. One-on-one closeness. A hand-to-hand deal. Intimate partner. Physically close. Illustration shows an angel mixing water and wine. This card therefore should mean dilution, but it never has for me … even with the water pouring in the Star card. The angel has a symbol of healing on his chest. Today all we mean is closeness and intimacy.
Knight of Pentacles: One thing on the macho dude’s mind. Today, it’s love, and he’s nervous about it. This is the rough guy, the short pugnacious fella who is as tough as his horse.
Nine of Wands: Oh, we’re under pressure, uneasy, dreading it but hanging in there sweating it out. Illustration is a border guard who is still on the job with a head injury. It’s coming baaack, whatever it is.
Star: Pouring out love, gushing mush confessions all over the place. We see a naked lady pouring water into a pond. Is she bathing? Well she is signing or performing sometimes. Here the card is just talking about confessing love.
Daddy will always do for mama
Queen of Wands
Magician, Three of Wands, Emperor
He has power to get things done but she will always rule the household.
He will always be the one who acts like the head man, but she is the head woman.
He and she are in charge of this place, but he will be the one who acts like that.
Her income runs the house but he is the acting head of household.
Her old man makes the money and she runs the house.
Daddy will always do for mama.
What they each do brings the money in. He is the boss, and she manages the place.
Good things are going to happen because of what the old man did: It is her home.
The wife’s father makes the money.
She and her old man make the money.
Well, the best advice I can make of these four Rider Waite Tarot cards is that a couple who divides up what they are in charge of, when both of them are making money, have a continuing future.
The first card (Magician) means to do in all forms of the verb, and then we have income (Three of Wands) and then the man in power, the Emperor, and the woman in power, the Queen of Wands. So two people who are in charge are making money, and someone or another is doing something.
Meanings and Illustrations:
Magician: Conjugate the verb ‘do’ and ya got it for the basic meaning of this Rider Waite Tarot card, keeping in mind it is most often a man or male who is doing, and that it also means things like ‘to bring it about’ and ‘to start’ or initiate. Illustration shows the man acting out a magic ritual, getting something or another accomplished by doing that.
Three of Wands: It’s coming, income is coming to someone or something, on a continuing basis. Just wait for the profit. Illustration shows his ships coming in, and he is watching them approach.
Emperor: He is grandpa, the old man, the authority, the federal level, God the Father or daddy. He has the title. Illustration shows an old man sitting upright looking very important indeed, because he is important.
Queen of Wands: She runs the place – house or business. She is the hands-on manager. She is mama or the wife. This is a competent no-nonsense practical female. She does not have to exert authority. Illustration shows that sort of a woman with a board in her right hand and a black cat sitting there lookin’ at ya indicating she can be witchy if she has to?
