This is advice to tune out all the problems other people annoy you with to the max.
Meanings and Illustrations:
Page of Swords: Look at this guy! He is standing on a knoll surrounded by open field, and he is fired up to defend himself against unknown intrusion. We all have those days, don’t we?? Pissed off, wanting to fight all comers, maybe? Phrases that this Rider Waite Tarot card engender are: nervous, paranoid, scary/scared, drives (you) crazy, get on your nerves, make you nervous, annoy, ‘ get to you.’
Ten of Pentacles: A bunch of screwed-up humans, family problems, complicated relationship, family culture, this family that drives you crazy, they get on your nerves, people who are extremely fucked-up, screwed-up bunch of people, your roots, this bunch of annoying people, screwed-up people, other people annoy you: These are the phrases it contributes to today’s spread. The illustration shows Grandpa sitting on his chair-throne, grumpier than Archie Bunker, as a couple in the family have a quarrel, their child clinging onto them, squalling, and the dogs (greyhounds?) come to the head of the family to get petted. It is obviously a wealthy family, from the setting.
Ten of Wands: The illustration shows a fellow who takes on the burden of doing everything all at once. It is slow going. He is overwhelmed, but he will still make it, step by slow step. This is a depressing scene for him. So, meanings such as ‘eventually,’ ‘way too,’ ‘very,’ ‘to the max,’ ‘extremely,’ ‘step-by-step’ ‘way too,’ ‘to the max.’ are what are expressed today by this Rider Waite Tarot card.
Eight of Cups: This Rider Waite’s Tarot card illustration shows someone taking a short cut or abandoning a course of action for another. Something ends before it is completed: a sliver moon and a full moon conjoined.

No husband to take care of, she is dating
Three of Cups
Death, Queen of Pentacles, King of Wands
Romance Perspective:
Not sharing a fun life with this husband, but she is his bookkeeper.
She isn’t possessive of her husband and his party girls.
She shares her money freely with a man who isn’t her husband.
She does not share her money with her husband.
She is a party girl, not a woman to devote herself to a husband.
She and the girl friends are wealthy and have no husbands.
He isn’t the kind of husband who is fun to be with; he is high maintenance.
She is devoted to her women friends, not to her husband.
She dates men who are NOT husbands (not married).
She is not possessive about her husband; she parties, herself.
He is not the wealthy woman’s husband, they are just dating.
Husband is NOT dating the bookkeeper or woman who manages/invests his money.
Financial Perspective:
Husband isn’t using her part of joint money.
Husband has no joint funds with his wife.
She invests husband’s money, not the money that is joint.
See? Even less variety. Both the Queen of Pentacles and the Three of Cups involve women possessing their own money. The Queen of Pentacles is known as the take-care woman, the woman who takes care of her man and her man’s business affairs and money; and next to her is the King of Wands, famous as the husband card. He can also be angry, irritated, low-class, etc. but those meanings are not brought out in him today because the ‘not’ card keeps applying to him, since both the cards meaning women around him talk about them and money. Sooo don’t expect any business meanings out of this.
Meanings and Illustrations:
Death: This card scares some people. It really illustrates the Middle Ages “The King is dead, long live the King” concept, which echoes the Eight of Cups’ main meaning: that the end of one thing is the beginning of another. In Tarot Verbatim, the Death card is a negative prefix or any word that negates a card it is associated with. It often means no, never, not, dis-, and the like. It also means ‘end of,’ stop, ‘no more’ and the like.
The illustration is a bishop in possession of the dead king’s crown, ready to bequeath it to the next monarch. This is one of the cards the people of the Middle Ages put in the deck, which, in the thinking of some purists, makes it inferior to the other Tarot cards.
Queen of Pentacles: She takes care of her man and his business and his money. She is the woman who has money. She is protective and possessive of her husband. She is almost always in a family, most likely a married woman. She is most likely an emotional person,
The illustration with the goat’s head indicates she can be a witch if that is part of your subject or question. She is pictured with the money (pentacle) in her hands, looking at it, very well dressed.
King of Wands: Today he pretty much is relegated to ‘husband.’ His illustration shows what the Tarot books refer to as a ‘country man,’ meaning ‘country boy’ and ‘redneck.’ Yes, he is a lout of some degree, often. He is the man with the temper. The red head – see the illustration.
Three of Cups: In this Rider Waite Tarot card, the girls have pooled their money and are sharing in the profits of their enterprise. They are celebrating. They can be party girls, can be girlfriends.
