Tarot Verbatim
Guidance Interpersonal dramas in a dysfunctional setting. The family or all the people in a circle of acquaintances, or coworkers – members of the group – get together and confront the problem person who is divisive, who is defiant and oppositional stirring up trouble among them. We are all in trouble struggling for what we think is our best windfall. But she contemplates defying the family for her own opportunity. The naïve sweet lady believes he is a good guy. Sweet kind lady defends her dysfunctional relationship as ‘making the best of it.’ She thinks everyone is wonderful as they push her around. At best, he has this timid woman defending him against the whole family.

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.

Family drama here with Ten of Pentacles and Seven of Wands: The confrontational combative fellow, maybe the mouthy troublemaker (Seven of Wands) in the dysfunctional family (Ten of Pentacles).
Queen of Cups is the understanding woman – often, the woman who understands her man. She is the perfect foil for the other two cards, the kind of woman who enables a cave-man son, the kind of woman who forgives and makes the best of a rotten home life, without playing martyr.
And then up comes Wheel of Fortune, so something really good is coming of this scene. There is a payoff. Wheel of Fortune is the optimum result, the wonderful happening, the miracle, the best possible outcome. It is also the windfall or jackpot. So each of the other cards receive this lucky break:
Queen of Cups and Wheel of Fortune is her faith these things are for the best.
Seven of Wands and Wheel of Fortune is a miracle in your struggle.
Ten of Pentacles and Wheel of Fortune is family problems working out for the best.

.
Queen of Cups She believes in her man. She has faith in him. But she also knows all about him and has figured him out. This is the emotional ‘stand by your man’ good woman of lore, who has a religious faith in the goodness of others. She is on the dreamy side, and the illustration emphasizes water, which is all around her throne as she contemplates some funky dodad she holds. Wife and Mother, capitalize that.
Ten of Pentacles Family trouble, making trouble in the family, family or neighbors who make trouble, dysfunctional bunch of people such as coworkers (even a gang or mob or cartel or politicians). Complicates your life, alienates everybody. Power people sometimes and sometimes ghetto people. This is a dysfunctional marriage card unless the other two marriage cards show up and convert it.
The illustration is of a inter-generational family quarrel: Grandpa on his throne, husband staring elsewhere while wife earnestly talks to him as the squalling child pulls on her clothes. The dogs have gravitated to the one with the power.
Seven of Wands We all know the defiant oppositional (a psychiatric diagnosis, by the way) mouthy pushy hell raising trouble making adolescent of any age. “I’m mad as hell and I won’t take it anymore.” Illustration is a fellow fighting his neighbors who have invaded his land. Defiant bullies see themselves as victims of others’ aggression when their prey defend themselves, see themselves as righteous avengers.
Wheel of Fortune The best outcome happens. It’s for the best. Here we see what looks like a roulette wheel, with occult symbols of destiny around it. It gives rise to these words and phrases: wonderful, opportunity, windfall or jackpot, optimum, make the best of, chance, the best, happening, miracle, good things happening, the best thing that ever happened.

Guidance Detachment is here. As a human, you are a member of clans not of your choosing. We are saying you can be in but not of these tribes, and we give details on how to do it. You (yes, you) can disregard others’ expectations and plans for you just by thinking about something else, doing your own thing and not theirs. Just don’t sign on for the feud, just have no part in each fella’s petty agendas. Yes, you can be better than they, unashamedly so.

Tarot Readings: Sweet Little Troublemaker (Queen of Cups and Ten of Pentacles)
She considers them trashy people, and annoys them by acting superior.
A sweet lady who can get everyone upset and fighting, and not be a part of it herself.
She knows how to get on your very last nerve and have other people fighting with you, and not be involved herself at all.
Tarot Readings: Details on How to Beautifully Mind Your Own Business (World and Ten of Pentacles)
I know how upset they all get over what they fight with each other about, and I don’t care.
They are all upset with me about some issue, but I haven’t looked into it.
Figure out how to keep your space free of misfits, and you won’t have anything to worry about.
You figure out how not to let other people’s agendas get to you.
Be like a naïve lady who minds her own business: Know nothing about their woes.
Get interested and engrossed in some private world of your own and don’t lose sleep over other people’s animosities (dislikes and fights).
Don’t get involved in politics; it will only keep you up nights.
Other people have problems and worries. I don’t even think in those terms.
I have them all figured out, so I am not part of the issues that upset them so.
Tarot Readings: Figuring Out Family (Queen of Cups and Ten of Pentacles)
She knows how his family gets him into their psychodramas, but she doesn’t worry about any of it.
She knows her man has nothing in common with that riffraff he hangs out with.
She is aware how upset his family is that she is independent.
She isn’t about to worry about what her man does with his low class friends and relatives.
She isn’t losing sleep over being excluded from the relatives’ wars.
Tarot Readings: How to be a Worrier (Queen of Cups and Ten of Pentacles)
She worries about the family but doesn’t let it get to her.
Knowing these people (neighbors?) will keep her up nights if she gets to know them, she doesn’t know them.
She is such a worrywart that she has nothing to do with politics.

Well, we have family troubles, Ten of Pentacles; worries, Nine of Swords; a lady who understands, Queen of Cups; and a lady who keeps other people out of her business, World.
Nine of Swords and Ten of Pentacles have aggravation in common.
Human relations is our headline with this foursome of Tarot personalities. Ten of Pentacles is (as usual) the dominant card, and it is about family troubles, troublemakers and having trouble with other people … clans and tribes that name you as a member.
Nine of Swords is the worry, aggravation, sleepless nights and distress.
Queen of Cups can be you having it all figured out. It can also be a sweet or naïve or understanding lady, a lady who knows or believes. She tends to believe in her man, to have faith in him.
World is the opposite type to Queen of Cups. World has her wall up; nothing interferes. World is superior. World is tougher than her troubles, and World intimidates muggers.
When you combine Queen of Cups and World, you get figuring out how to keep people (and distractions and interference in general) out of your business, and do it without engaging. Both Queen of Cups and World mind their own business, and minding your own business is our main topic here.
Notice we have troublemakers, but no trouble. This is about the recipe for that.

Queen of Cups is the loyal wife, the sweet lady, she thinks of or about her man, she understands or has figured out her man. A blond with a dreamy look on her face fondles this funky-looking object d’art. Water surrounds her throne and cherubs are all over it. In real life, this Tarot Verbatim(TM) card means to know, to think, to figure out, to be understanding, to be naïve, and it’s often the stereotypical ‘nice lady.’
World is in a class of her own, nothing gets to her, nothing interferes with her and she doesn’t mingle, doesn’t stoop to be connected or involved: She has it made in all the planes. Traditionally a hermaphrodite – the idea being that when you are an advanced being, you no longer have gender – she is pictured nude, dancing with a wand in each hand, looking away. Nothing gets to her: Trouble considers her trouble. Being private is the meaning we use for World today.
Nine of Swords is upset, up nights worrying, stressed out, crying. A person sits upright in bed, holding his or her head. Grief, anxiety, aggravation, getting on your nerves, headache (literal and figurative) and not sleeping are its most common translations.
Ten of Pentacles is family problems, problems with relatives or with coworkers, friends, or the boys at the bar – any group. It’s a bunch of querulous feuding people of any kind – the dope gang, the loud low class neighbors, board members clashing on the stock split … Illustration shows a family that doesn’t get along. Grandpa has some edict, and the couple are having to come to terms with something. Even the kid gets in on the act. Remind you of something?
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 The family, or all the people in a circle of acquaintances, or coworkers – members of the group – get together and confront the problem person who is divisive, who is defiant and oppositional stirring up trouble among them. The naïve sweet lady believes in him, though. Interpersonal drama in a dysfunctional setting. But she contemplates defying the family for her own opportunity. We are all in trouble struggling for what we think is our best windfall. Sweet kind lady defends her dysfunctional relationship as ‘making the best of it.’ She thinks everyone is wonderful as they push her around. At best, he has this timid woman defending him against the whole family.
(At the time of production, there’s no way to correct the lack of spaces after punctuation. I am writing around it now!)
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 Daily Message Tarot Analysis below. One or more of those sentences has something to say to you. Intuitively 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?”)
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!
