Tarot Verbatim
GUIDANCE Realizing the ordinary things of life make me happy, and expressing that. One of those ordinary things is the way we make one another … other people … happy. The good feeling of being at home … my place … is similar to the good feeling of being around people I feel ‘at home’ with. Even count the ability to think clearly and be healthy as a pleasure. I like myself when I’m sensible! I realize I am in charge of my life and that’s a great feeling.

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES..
….. …….…… ….. Star is words, expressing, telling or saying, love and saying ‘I love you,’ feeling good, being beautiful, healthy, being grateful, and a performance (even a sales pitch). Page of Pentacles is what you think, how you feel, seeing, being, self (any singular pronoun).
Star and Page of Pentacles Star and Page of Pentacles The words that convey the thought: Star is an expression or explanation; Page of Pentacles is the thought (or feeling). Star is love; Page of Pentacles is self – hence, love yourself, or self-love. Star is happy; Page of Pentacles is self – hence, happy with who you are, and being a happy person. Star is love and Page of Pentacles is paying attention – hence, a rush of love gets one’s attention. Page of Pentacles is how you feel, how he feels, and Star is telling all about it – so he tells you how he feels – confesses his love verbally. Page of Pentacles is thinking and Star is words, so thinking up the words to something … maybe a song or a performance, since Star does refer to those things … but it could be the words to anything. Other Star and Page of Pentacles phrases are: express in words, explain, say how you feel, think she is beautiful, tell her she is beautiful, know the words … and lots of others.
Who’s our other Tarot table-mate? Queen of Wands. The sensible no-nonsense plain ‘mama’ woman, the competent manager of home or business or both. The Wife: This is the main ‘wife’ card. It’s her home; she is in charge.
We have stories. Stores of love, business, telling, feeling good, being in charge … and other things.

GET A SINGLE CARD’S MEANINGS: TYPE ITS NAME AND ‘TAROT VERBATIM’ INTO GOOGLE.
Star Star is feeling good all over like when you are singing in the shower. Star is happy. Star is being crazy about someone or enthusiastic about something – is even promoting something. Star is good health and feeling good. Star is confessing feelings, spilling your guts, good vibrations, saying “I love you” with every fiber of your being. Star is always upbeat. Star’s illustration shows a ritual bath ceremony. The performer – a naked and shapely lady – is singing while pouring two jugs into the pool.
She is also a shapely woman, of course. This is a love card that emphasizes saying ‘I love you.’
Page of Pentacles Page of Pentacles usually translates any words that mean know, think, ponder, consider. And at the same time, Page of Pentacles also translates: I, I am; I know I am; he/she is; he/she knows; me, who I am, what I am (as in another card making ‘I am a wife’ or whatever). Quite a few Tarot cards can simply translate as pronouns, but this Page of Pentacles is the one most likely to. Page of Pentacles is one of the identity cards, the strongest one because it has the fewest other meanings.
Then you can substitute ‘feel’ for the verbs up there, as in ‘I feel/he or she feels,’ etc. Put a feeling card next to Page of Pentacles, and the feeling is the subject of the spread. Today, you can see it’s all about being happy and making another person happy: That’s Page of Pentacles and the happy Star.
Page of Pentacles strongly means ‘self.’ It often translates ‘himself’; it often says ‘I consider myself.’ Then we have the ‘intend’ spectrum: Intend means thinking about it, after all.
Many of these words also belong to Page of Wands – and they both mean a young man, too.
Queen of Wands Queen of Wands is the woman who runs the place – an orderly place – usually a house or business. She is sensible, plain, down-to-earth, no-nonsense, practical and pragmatic, sure of herself. She is so dependable you would not think to say she is. She is definitely in charge. Queen of Wands is, say, Martha Stewart, the housewife-conglomerate, the manager at work who ‘runs a tight ship.’ She is competent. The manager, the Mother Superior, The Mama. She is also the kind of personality that people don’t think of talking back to or disparaging.
She is a married woman, the main Wife card, as King of Wands is the main Husband card, so she reads things like: married woman; the woman he married; his wife; the one he is marrying or is married to. Queen of Wands can translate ‘Wife’ even if there’s no guy-card around.
Queen of Wands doesn’t have to be a person. We have more of that today than usual. It can be about ‘home.’ It can be about feeling at home, or being at home. It can mean a very organized (‘tight ship’) place. It can mean the home-front, the native country. It can even mean an address something was sent to. Queen of Wands can also … more than you would think … mean ordinary daily routine mundane life. Today’s one-sentence readings are a good example of Queen of Wands not-personal meanings.
.
.
.
.
Having a home, a place of your own, to be happy in. ‘There’s no place like home,’ they say, and that is what we are feeling and thinking about today. Being made happy, making others happy, saying ‘I love you’ and ‘You’re beautiful’ in ordinary daily life. Conversations with someone who can explain, who can express, so you can follow it: simple joys like that.

Four Card Spreads, Our Daily Spread
Advice A new (higher) level of awareness makes us a different person, puts us on a different course, and, if it is concreted into ‘our real lives,’ our daily life, leads to success in the involved area. Once again, Tarot parallels spiritual and financial success. Three expressions of this parallel are: (1) Thinking of the money is new to her, she was ‘just a wife.’ (2) Marrying her will make me an even more successful person. (3) New thought about who I am and the course I am on in day-to-day living.
Is this the first time you come here? Well … what to do:
*Go to Advice (above ) which is a summary of the Messages. (Advice is everyone’s favorite part.)
*Go to Group Analytical Tarot Reading below. One or more of those sentences has something to say to you. Intuitively pick those out and decide whether to encourage or suppress them. 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?”)
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!
Ace of Pentacles Judgment – Page of Pentacles – Queen of Wands GROUP ANALYTICAL TAROT READING Tell the visitors here something useful and meaningful to them. New Awareness/Realization (Judgment + Page of Pentacles) All of a sudden she realizes that she is the one who is in charge of her life. (All of a sudden I realize I am the one who is in charge of my life.) Looking at the path that I am on, I am taking charge of changing my life. There’s a new me who takes charge of the path I am on. Intends to be a different and better person in down-to-earth terms. I feel like I am a new person whose life right here at home is a path for me. Sees a new way to run her life. (Looking at a new way to run my life.) New consciousness puts a pragmatic (practical) woman on a whole new path. New ways of being in charge of your own affairs. New thought about who I am and the course I am on in day-to-day living. A whole new awareness of how precious mundane life is. Home life gives rise to realizing what my values are. Sudden awareness of a new way to be your best self in the real world. Know you will recover perfectly and have a normal life. Thinking of a Wife (Page of Pentacles + Queen of Wands) On second thought, she is the perfect wife. He knows she has the good sense to get back on the road. He sees how, going back to his wife, he will have money. He contemplates a new life with her as his wife, and it feels right. This is his second wife: He had better do it right. Consciously intends to do right by his woman, which is a new idea to him. Looks at his woman in a new light of ‘She is good for me.’ Sees himself and his wife as even more successful. The thought strikes him that with her as his wife, he is on the right track. Marrying her will make me an even more successful person. Thinks of her as his wife, makes the announcement and gives her the ring. Now that he thinks about it, what his wife said was right. He ponders whether it’s correct to say that to a married woman. It’s a whole new life for him, his wife being the one with the money. Woman with Success/Money (Queen of Wands + Ace of Pentacles) She considers herself an overnight success. A woman contemplates a new life on the road making money. A whole new mentality about money in mundane (day-to-day) life. The money makes a new life possible, she is looking at her house. She feels being a wife means she is successful, that it’s a whole new life. This is the first day of the rest of her life in her very own home. They acknowledge you are competent and pay you well: a raise! Thinking of the money is new to her, she was ‘just a wife.’ She has a new idea of making money at home. Intends to use her money to move out of her current home. Suddenly getting it that as a woman you can be successful too. Seeing her in a new light, she really is a successful manager. When she becomes a manager, she will make more money. Thinking of the change in my daily life that money would make.

Ace of Pentacles Judgment – Page of Pentacles – Queen of Wands LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING Go over to Tarot Talks (a tab up there) after you read this. This is wonderful – so many combinations. The perfect way to introduce Tarot Talks, which is deconstructing spreads into their two-card combinations’ meanings. We start with a sudden new phase or level, a rejuvenation, a coming alive, in Judgment. This thought is followed by the Page of Pentacles thought, identity, seeing and realizing. Then Queen of Wands concretes this theme into real-world mundane daily life, home life, and she is also the wife and the manager. We finish with being on the path, success, money and the way – Ace of Pentacles. Queen of Wands is of course a female, but this Rider Waite Tarot card can even mean native country and address, so in this spread that is about consciousness, its meanings of being practical, pragmatic, down-to-earth, etc. apply to all of us. Three of these four cards refer to consciousness. Judgment is a whole new level of awareness; Page of Pentacles thinks and contemplates and is aware of; Queen of Wands has good sense. So our spread applies to life path, to new levels of money and success, new ideas or concepts, even new identity. All in the down-to-earth reality. LEARN TAROT BY THE PICTURES
 |
Judgment The awakening angel brings his trumpet-alarm to get us up out of the coffin on Judgment Day, and we suddenly have a new life, return to our former state (being alive), recover (from death). These are its main meanings. It also is a sudden realization of a new reality or new level of life. |

Page of Pentacles A young person pays self-conscious attention to what is going on to find out ‘who I am,’ identity. This Rider Waite Tarot citizen often means: I am, he/she is, me, who I am, what I am (as in I am a wife or whatever). Then you can substitute ‘feel’ for the verbs up there, as in ‘I feel/he or she feels,’ etc. Consciousness itself, or conscious of, so we get ‘I know’ and ‘I know I am’ – along with all the other pronouns possible. I consider myself. So: concept, thought, idea, consider, mentality, contemplate. Then we have the ‘intend’ spectrum: Intend means thinking about it, after all. Oh, it means being young, too. |

Queen of Wands Good sense. The Manager of her real physical world, she runs a tight ship, she is The Mama as well as the wife – practical and pragmatic. A stick in one hand and a flower in the other, See? Not to mention the black cat. She is about the house, about living in a place and organizing things. Stereotypically, she is a Virgo and an RN (registered nurse). She is very physical in her approach, not theoretical. You won’t catch her calling down the white light. |

Ace of Pentacles The way; the path; right, perfect or correct; success and money. The road, literally. Symbolism is simple: Hand with gold in it over the straight and narrow path or right road, lilies for purity in front and a rose arbor for victory at its end. I want this in stained glass; I used it for the cover of my free book, which you can click on up there to get. |

There’s earth-plane realities that you know, and foo-foo things that you assume
Seven of Cups
Fool, Page of Pentacles, Queen of Wands
Family Life and Romance Perspective:
Thinking of how much he doesn’t know about his wife.
He thinks of this woman as his wife, never mind the other miasmas.
He knows what a mess he is, his wife/mother doesn’t even know him.
He doesn’t even have a wife/woman, he is confused about his identity.
Never mind all the other stuff, he knows his woman is sensible.
He speculates, that’s all, about why he isn’t at home with his wife.
Things fell apart and he doesn’t know why he isn’t home with his wife.
His wife/mother has no idea how out-of-control his life is.
He had no idea how insane his sensible wife/mother was.
The situation is shocking that he doesn’t know who his mother is.
He knows ‘Don’t even think about scrambling mama’s head.’
Business Perspective:
All the company knows is, things are out of control, so a sensible manager is in place now.
May as well not even think of all the messes the manager has set in order.
You can look but there won’t be any disorder in her record.
She, the manager, is in the real world; they have all sorts of assumptions and theories.
She knows how to manage mixed-up young people.
Personal Perspective:
She is very sensible in a very crazy way: Don’t even think about this!
She is a sensible person; she had no idea things get this crazy.
I can assume all sorts of things but know down-to-earth ones.
Sees things that aren’t there, imagines things, but he knows a down-to-earth woman.
There’s earth-plane realities that you know, and foo-foo things that you assume.
You know how to hold things together, you don’t know when or how they fall apart/’go boom.’
Her perspective is pragmatic on fanciful theories.
Well, well, what is the Queen of Wands, the very straight hands-on pragmatic manager of hearth and commerce, doing here? She stands for orderly, she stands for pragmatic, practical and down to earth – for the earth-plane, even … and is in the company of the very theoretical Fool who assumes and ignores, and the insane out-of-control foo-foo very miscellaneous totally unfocused and disorderly Seven of Cups. And right in the middle is someone (a young person, like the Fool) thinking and viewing this.
Advice? It amounts to “Look at this in a sensible way; your world has gone crazy.” Contrast is the order of the day in this Rider Waite spread. Even the business advice has to be about straightening out a dizzy situation. (Of course everyone’s world has gone crazy; it’s a presidential edict, isn’t it?)
Meanings and Illustrations:
Fool: “What, me worry?” This is the person who causes wrecks but is never in them, a blithe assumer of happy foo-foo theories that he blunders through life blindfolded with, and has a great time. He goes so well with the Seven of Cups; that is where he comes from. The illustration shows a young person running away from home provision-less, accompanied by his pet, about to stride off a cliff on a sunny day with great faith in the good life. (He is on Facebook. I see him there a lot.)
Page of Pentacles: He is the onlooker here. He thinks, he knows, he sees. ‘His identity’ is one of the phrases the Page of Pentacles brings up today as well. He is illustrated as a thoughtful young person.
Queen of Wands: She has no toys. She runs the place, whether it be domestic or commercial or both. She knows what is going on and doesn’t let it. Hers is an orderly sensible pragmatic tidy world, a tight ship. Illustration shows an upright lady with a schoolmarm expression and a big stick.
Seven of Cups: Well, here is the mess for the lady to work on. Seven of Cups is the sorcerer’s apprentice story of things out of control, lots of unrelated miscellaneous pieces that won’t be put back together … except by the Queen of Wands and her type. Illustration shows fragments of unrelated things in cups, planted in a heavy cloud.
She can do these things because she never feels the pressure
World
Magician, Eight of Pentacles, Nine of Wands
Business Perspective:
He is under pressure to get the work done; she has nothing to do with it.
The work she does, she is never under pressure.
She keeps doing the job others are nervous about doing: She is Teflon.
She is unaffected by the tension in the workplace, just does the job.
He was injured doing this guard job to keep the women safe.
A guy can get wounded on this job; girls aren’t allowed to do it.
He stays on the dangerous job he does because of gorgeous women.
Women wouldn’t have him unless he did this dangerous work.
Other Perspective:
She isn’t scared of people who do that kind of thing.
She keeps putting herself in danger and no one will attack.
She can do these things because she never feels the pressure.
She is the last person you would think would do one scary thing after another.
Guys who do that kind of thing are scared of her.
What these guys do every day is hurt people, but not women.
*Here are three guy-cards in a row to begin, all kinds of easy stories to make of them … but then the World card overlooking them is the spoiler; you gotta work her into the narrative. So she is the focal point. World refers to being ‘a master of both worlds,’ which means you are so spiritual the monsters fear you. It boils down to a woman who is immune, insulated, Teflon – that sort of thing, or to that state of being for anything. Often ‘she is not affected by’ is the language.
*The Rider Waite Tarot card that means fear and apprehension is next to her – which calls for the language of contrast. *Then the first two cards are a man doing the work, or doing something regularly. Those are the pieces to the puzzle of today’s message.
Advice is that just because there is something scary or dangerous, you don’t have to be scared; you can be above it all or immune to the risk in some way. It suggests this is the case.
Meanings and Illustrations:
Magician: He, the man, does. ‘Work’ is next to him, so he does the work. His illustration shows him at work with the tools of his trade, bringing something about. The next card also shows a man working with the tools of his trade.
Eight of Pentacles: Work. Workman. He is doing work, or is regularly doing something. Illustration shows the carpenter making one identical product after another at his bench.
Nine of Wands: He has a dangerous job; he was injured on guard duty, and is still hanging in there. Of course he has some fear; of course he is nervous and apprehensive. See the head injury and the way he is looking over his shoulder?
World: I will just copy what I said above, because I said it all, at least as far as today’s message is concerned. World refers to being ‘a master of both worlds,’ which means you are so spiritual the monsters fear you. It boils down to a woman who is immune, insulated, Teflon – that sort of thing, or to that state of being for anything. Often ‘she is not affected by’ is the language.

Page of Pentacles Knight of Pentacles, Queen of Wands, Ace of Cups
Romantic Perspective: He is in love, he aims for her to be his wife. He has eyes only for her, he thinks of her as the wife he loves. One thing he is sure of: he loves his wife and thinks of her. She knows he is in love with only her. He knows his love for his wife is obsessive. She is in love, thinks of herself as his wife, focuses on that mainly. She knows he thinks only of her, they are in love. She knows he thinks of her as his wife, it’s true love. Both she and he are mainly interested in God. He looks to his wife for approval: This is important to him. She loves the rough dude and considers herself his wife. Macho man loves his wife who runs their affairs and house: He knows who he is. He accepts his wife’s main focus on things, loves her for it. Business Perspective: He is mindful to cooperate with the manager, with her thoughts. His ambition is to get the manager’s approval of himself. The profile they have of her is: She is competent and cooperative. She is a skilled manager who gets macho men to cooperate for their own purposes. He aims to go along with her thoughts, she is in charge of that. A woman with one mission: that the idea be accepted … even loved. She gets people to accept the goal and make it their own. She is accepted as a manager by manly men because they agree with her. Her ideas are beneficial enough to be the main focus. She is seen a cooperative by the man on a mission. The guys love her for her ability to get ideas approved. The competent woman is seen as no threat by ambitious men. She has the same idea as the guys: They agree. Both the male pentacle Tarot cards mean ‘to focus upon’ but of course nuances in these similar cards create interesting distinctions. The Knight of Pentacles is a muscled man, potentially obsessive (The card can even mean ‘obsess’ or ‘obsessive.’) – ‘one thing on his mind.’ He can be rough or a ruffian, or a macho man who thinks he is rough. He stands for being focused and ambitious, for focus and ambition. Then the Page of Pentacles stands for considering an idea, for one’s identity (knowing who he is), and therefore often for the word ‘he.’ So, we ask ourselves: What is being focused upon here? Well, the middle cards mainly mean: (1) Queen of Wands, wife or manager, the woman in charge of the house or the workplace and (2) love, in love, true love, cooperation, agreement, being harmless and beneficial. Knowing these meanings, you can easily reconstruct the sentences above and see which phrase arises from which card. Remember that more than one meaning can be used in the same spread for a card. So, advice today in this spread is: A woman’s ability to identify a goal and get men or a man to see that goal as his/their own is beneficial (everybody cooperates) to everybody, which makes her accepted by the guy(s) as no threat and as someone they are/he is fond of.
Meanings and Illustrations:
Knight of Pentacles: The illustration shows a short dude with muscles on a horse of the same nature, intently focused on this one thing – a thing that gets him ahead. Its meanings arise directly from the illustration. See the remarks above in the first paragraph of the summary about the meanings: Why repeat them here? Queen of Wands: Here is an illustration of a sensible woman who runs a tight ship and minds her own business, a manager of whatever she surveys. She is the main Wife card in Rider Waite Tarot. She is competent and no-nonsense. Ace of Cups: The philosophical idea in Rider Waite’s version of this card is that one’s being infused with the presence of Divinity creates one’s own good and also creates serendipity, creates a healthful blessed environment. The five streams of water represent five body fluids that flow freely when one is aligned with Divine order or Divine will. Of course, the mundane application of this philosophical idea is: Once again, see the meanings mentioned in the second summary paragraph above. Page of Pentacles: A young man intently focuses on one thing. He is an apprentice who is learning something. This ‘something’ is associated with who he is. This Rider Waite Tarot card is associated with identity. It often stands for ‘the idea that.’
Working on his own fears of outside influences, and making fast progress
Nine of Wands Knight of Wands, Two of Cups, Eight of Pentacles
Business and Other Perspectives: He is afraid what he is doing is running into a situation in which he will fall under the influence of something that he is not really aware of. This job will get him into something he dreads, that will engross him, yet he pursues the job. Working on his own addictions and hidden assumptions makes him nervous, but will get him ahead. He is, blow by blow, rushing into the unknown where angels fear to tread. Working on his own fears of outside influences, and making fast progress. He flees working on his own fears of otherworldly influences. He has been hurt by getting involved, and here he goes, pellmell, into it one more time. Associating himself with these people who have an unknown agenda gives him the heebie-jeebies, so he is once more fleeing that. Unidentified fears haunt him, and he gets away from this through his work. The job he is pursuing is out of his field, which makes him uneasy. Pursues that job in spite of misgivings about associating with Those People. Free floating vague guilt overshadows him as he goes about his business. ‘Something is up’ at work that gets on his nerves. He gets out of there as fast as he can. His fast progress at work makes him unsure about what is involved. Afraid he keeps ‘getting used’ but is still ‘at it.’ Misgivings about using sex to get ahead at work. Romance Perspectives: The sexual attraction impels him to pursue but he is afraid to do that again. He keeps pursuing hookups but feels guilty. His pursuit of sex workers (prostitutes) is an addiction that makes him uneasy. Pursuing a sexual affair at work makes him apprehensive. Afraid of a grand sexual love affair, he keeps pursuing it anyway. He was pursuing a hot love affair but it got to him and now he is afraid to continue. Now that the love affair is work, he is not so sure about going so fast. Afraid he keeps ‘getting used’ but is still ‘at it.’ Misgivings about using sex to get ahead at work. Note that we didn’t get messages from a man’s perspective until we had some men’s comments on this blog. I theorize that people who comment attract more advice than those who don’t, in our experiment. Since Tarot taps into mass consciousness, and since people who comment are probably thinking more about the messages than others, it makes sense that those commenters would attract more attention. This spread is from a male perspective. The pivotal card-character in this quatrain is Two of Cups. Two of Cups: very complex concepts. I will be brief but could write a pamphlet on this one Rider Waite Tarot card. Being connected to someone or something and not knowing what you are getting involved in; being ‘under the influence’ as in love or addictions. Strong sexual attraction, as well as sexual seduction, as well as using sex to get control of the partner or to get ahead. So, the cards surrounding the Two of Cups are:
- The Knight of Wands: to pursue, to be in a hurry or rush, or rush into something, ‘full speed ahead,’ as well as ‘to get out fast’ or to get away fast. So it is either to flee or to pursue, depending on the surrounding cards. (As I have said, I do not assign meanings to cards, and would not put an opposite meaning on one Tarot individual, but I discovered Tarot’s meanings for Tarot through an exhaustive process described elsewhere.)
- The Eight of Pentacles, which is about work and keeping at it and doing the same thing over and over.
- The Nine of Wands, which is about misgivings, bad feeling about something, a feeling of guilt, apprehension, uneasiness and so on. Having been hurt before is expressed by the bandaged head wound.
Today’s advice in this spread is that, especially if you are a guy, there is a factor you may not be aware of, that you have an uneasy feeling about, that influences whether you should keep pursuing something. The spread describes both the consistent pursuit and the persistent ‘bad feeling’ or misgiving. If you are a female, this information may apply to a male around you.
Meaning and Illustrations:
Knight of Wands: Illustration: See him run, he is in a big hurry. For the meanings, see the first paragraph above. Two of Cups: The caduceus indicates activity is influenced from another plane or from unknown source(s). It indicates perchance a con artist, seduction, a controlling idea that may be misguided, or an addiction – that sort of thing. The illustration shows a couple ‘pledging their troth,’ or committing to one another. This Rider Waite Tarot card assumes one of them is less than sincere. The best single slogan I can think for this card is ‘getting sucked into’ something or ‘hidden influence,’ even propaganda influences. Eight of Pentacles: ‘Working on it’ is a good slogan for this Rider Waite Tarot card. The illustration shows a carpenter making one identical product after another. Keeping at it, being consistent, doing the same thing over and over. Nine of Wands: In Paragraph (3) above, I said it all.
It’s anything but fair that bitches get the good men
Seven of Cups King of Cups, Justice, Queen of Swords
Romance and Legal/Divorce Perspectives: She has all kinds of complaints about him but he is a good man who is right for her. Things are a mess, she isn’t getting the good man she is entitled to. She isn’t getting the good man who is right for her. This is confusing. To her shock and surprise, when she expects him to the Mr. Right, he is. He is a good man, he is doing the right things, and she is dissatisfied in every possible way. Anything can happen now in the good-guy’s court action with The Bitch/ex-wife. He is such a good man, he is entitled to anything but this nasty nag. He is such a ‘nice guy’ and that fuels her entitlement, her out-of-control expectations of him. It’s anything but fair that bitches get the good men. She is right about how crazy the guy is who victimized her, and he’s ‘such a nice guy.’ She is mad because his drinking is out of control and it isn’t fair to her. She is not getting anything she should from him – the weakling! He is mild-mannered and sane; she is a raving bitch. This is a strong woman who expects him to be straight and sane or all hell will break loose. Legal Perspectives: The verdict/legal decision is amazing: She doesn’t get what she demands; he is the good-guy. The verdict shocks her, she doesn’t get what she demands of the reasonable gentleman. He is the ‘good guy’ in court; her demands are outrageous. Anything can happen in the gentleman’s lawsuit with the demanding wench. She is the plaintiff in an outrageous lawsuit with the bureaucracy/agency. She is right about how crazy the guy is who victimized her, and he’s ‘such a nice guy.’ She demands her rights; it is a shock to the government. The Department of Justice makes a mess of her life, poor woman. The Justice card rules here. It shares the ‘entitlement’ concept with the Queen of Swords, who isn’t getting what she is entitled to. The King of Cups is the good or nice guy, the alcoholic or weak man, the emotional man, the sweetheart, the government, bureaucrat or agency (never a police or enforcement agency unless it’s, say, the Building and Zoning inspectors). Lastly, the Seven of Cups is out of control, bizarre, ‘all kinds of’ or ‘disparate.’ It is a mess. The way this four-card Tarot spread comes together focuses a lot on a woman being cheated out of what she is entitled to, or being unreasonable with the good man. The Seven of Cups indicates some quirkiness to the story. And, of course, we have to deal with the King of Cups being an agency or government as well as the drunk, the good guy, the affectionate man, etc., along with the Justice card meaning any kind of court action. Then, the Queen of Swords is the ‘demanding woman/nag/bitch’ card, which calls up ‘ex-wife’ next to the Justice card. The Queen of Swords as the victim in conjunction with the government and Justice is another cluster. These varieties of meanings contribute many different stories. As I have pointed out previously: The reason we get these myriad of narratives from four Tarot cards is that we operate here in the blog without a ‘real’ question. The question forms a large part of an answer: It limits the answer. If your question were about romance, all the other spreads would be eliminated; and if were about court action, the romance ones would not count, unless it were a divorce you asked about. Here, all I ask for a question is: Tell the people who visit something useful to them at the time they visit. I suspect people who read past spreads, especially first-time visitors, will find meaning.
Meanings and Illustrations:
King of Cups: His meanings are covered in the paragraphs above this. The illustration is of a man ‘awash’ in something, emotional, emotionally unstable – which is expressed in the fact his stone slab is floating or surrounded by water that has waves. Being drunk or alcoholic is suggested not only by those meanings, but add the cup in his right hand and the blank look on his face: either drunk or a powerful government dork. Justice: Meanings are covered above. The illustration shows ‘law enforcement’ via both the scales of justice and the sword in the hands of the elaborately robed upright figure. Besides the obvious, this Rider Waite Tarot card means ‘should’ and ‘entitled.’ Queen of Swords: Here’s the widow, the lady who doesn’t get what she feels or is entitled to, and the kvetching wench. Also known as the strong woman, the woman who feels someone or some situation isn’t up to her standards. She can be the Queen of Mean. The illustration shows ‘that look’ on her face: lips set in a straight line, and her left hand extended in a ‘now would be good’ gesture while it is her right hand with the knife in it. Ach-tung! Seven of Cups: This is Pandora’s Box or Sorcerer’s Apprentice situation. The magician has lost control of the operation, by golly, and there’s no putting the critters back in the bottle. The cloud helps with the ‘confusion’ meaning. The motley group of items expresses the ‘mess’ and ‘all hell breaks loose’ meanings. Other phrases for this Rider Waite Tarot card are: shock and surprise, in every possible way, anything can happen, anything but, how crazy, amazing, outrageous, raving, and so on.
