Tarot Verbatim
Today is Wednesday – Email reading day. Here’s a gal who wants to know what on earth to do next with her life. I broke her inquiry down to get a meaningful email answer.
The Tarot Email Training will start any time now; techs are testing it. September 1 is the first installment. To those of you who are waiting patiently or anxiously: It’s coming, stay tuned.

How I should spend my time in the next year is a better way to put it. I could travel the world, I could go back to school, I could go back home and get another job. Or something I’m not yet seeing or thinking of.
.
.
(Emily’s Comment: Going to school and traveling the world can be combined. Prestigious universities overseas (Oxford University; L’ecole Polytechnique, and others) have classes in English that result in degrees, and they are far far far cheaper and far more respected internationally than U S universities are now. Bonus is that getting a job overseas is a LOT easier if you are not a United States school graduate. Tuition is a mere $5,000 at some of these schools. Stansberry Research (financial newsletters) is where I learned about this.)
.
You have four parts to your question here. Let’s measure by how pleased you are two years after you do each of these three things you name, and then ask the ‘what else?’ question.

Four Card Spreads, Our Daily Spread, Tarot Verbatim
HOW TO USE THE MATERIAL WE HAVE FOR YOU HERE. Read the sentences, and pick out the ones that seem to apply to you, to the people around you. They are a Tarot analysis of your day’s circumstances. As the day (or several days) unfolds, you may find the information is relevant. The question is: “Tell the visitors here something useful and meaningful to them.” Often, your adopting the attitude you feel in the blog works for your day! Without a question to focus the answer, four cards can mean even contradictory things. Without a question also the pronouns in a group reading are less specific, more flexible, especially in some of these Rider Waite Tarot spreads. Especially when a pronoun is in parentheses, feel free to substitute. The Advice section sums up a general meaning of all the sentences. Remember to share your experience with a comment here if you have words for it … Photos of the animals that the people who call me support are in with the articles I wrote for you. Enjoy them too! And you can call me at the 800 99 3 6 9 12 number from Eastern 1 p.m. to Eastern 1 a.m. at least, every day. I analyze business situations accurately too.
There’s confusion here, and you have the ability to figure it out, but don’t do anything until you have.
Queen of Cups Seven of Cups, Queen of Pentacles, Four of Swords
There’s confusion here, and you have the ability to figure it out, but don’t do anything until you have. She has the money but is waiting until she understands the fine print. It’s such a mess that: Just don’t do anything until you know you can. He doesn’t want anything to do with either of those two crazy women. Nothing can be done about the mess but she has faith that she can. Daughter believes in her man who is out of control, mama isn’t putting her money into that. She has not yet figured out all the ramifications of taking care of her man. She knows how messed up things are for him but she isn’t investing her resources there. Two mixed-up women aren’t doing anything. Weird dreams in her sleep that she does have the ability to interpret. Each of the ladies can sleep through a hullabaloo. She knows she needs rest when things she can do don’t make sense. Taking care of the man she understands involves not doing anything when he is off the deep end. She knows she can sleep through a storm. When things get this crazy, she knows she can just sleep on it. Here are our Tarot citizens of this spread: Two women who take care of (Queen of Pentacles) and understand (Queen of Cups) their man; a totally confused messed-up situation (craziness); and not doing or nothing can be done, or sleep. Not too many variants to this story. Hope this passes quickly for whoever is experiencing it. It could be people you know rather than you – hope so! That rascal Mercury is retrograde. He may be the culprit behind this scenario! At any rate, this is not a serious life phase, it’s one more bump in the road. Advice is to withdraw and not do anything until you know enough to handle what doesn’t make any sense right now. “To sleep through the storm.” As my old daddy, who had played professional baseball, used to say “When in doubt, punt.” Punting is putting the bat sideways, letting the ball drop in front of you, and running to first base. It is the least thing you can do as the batter.
Meanings and Illustrations:
Seven of Cups: Illustrations shows the Sorcerer’s Apprentice story, or Pandora’s Box: Out of control every which way, doesn’t make sense, a hullabaloo, a story, things get crazy. Queen of Pentacles: ‘She can’ and ‘to have the ability’ or ‘to have the money’ are most of her meanings here. Illustration shows a woman with money in her hands (or lap), and connotes a married woman who is co-ruler of the marital kingdom and its assets. The kind of woman a smart man would marry as the partner who watches his back and his resources. Four of Swords: To sleep or rest, to not do anything or to be inactive. Illustration shows a knight lying on the stone crypt of a saint or hero, doing his vision quest the night before he is knighted. Queen of Cups: She knows, she thinks, she understands, she has figured out. She thinks of her man, she has figured out her man, she understands her man. This is the loyal sweet lady wife. She can be the dreamy naïve type. Stereotype would be the young Bible Belt churchgoing woman. She is emotional: See the water around her – but it is peaceful water, unlike her husband the King of Cups. She is at peace with herself and others.
In their relationship, he spoils her, she isn’t going to have any complaints about him!
Three of Pentacles Queen of Swords, Six of Swords, Empress
Romantic Perspective: Her difficult times are phasing out; this relationship fulfills her. The diva is not as demanding in this relationship. The woman he loves is easy to deal with; he isn’t with the complaining one anymore. Beautiful women expect a lot; he doesn’t have relationships with them anymore. In their relationship, he spoils her, she isn’t going to have any complaints about him! Being gorgeous is her part in their relationship, she will want for nothing. He avoids meeting with the woman he loves because he is disappointing her. He moved away and she misses meeting with him and feeling foxy. She is going from not having things the way she wants them to being the darling of who she’s with. He is leaving the old bitch behind to have a relationship with a giving younger woman. She, a trophy woman, is leaving this relationship because it does not fulfill her expectations. Business Perspectives: Putting the deal aside in which she did not get what was due her, she has the good life. The contractors left the job she funded; she is annoyed. Her expectation of living well from these transactions is diminishing. She is doing well in this business, she can’t complain any more. They meet with the woman who is the buyer; she has specifications they have not met. Her part in the agreement is to pay for it, and she isn’t going to be disappointed. This story has some flexibility. We have two women, a relationship, and better days being ahead as these times are put behind. The women are the old(er) woman (Queen of Swords) who is demanding, who expects, who complains, who is stern, who isn’t getting what she wants and expects and is disappointed, even annoyed or angry. She can be the bitch too: This is the ‘bitch card.’ And we have the young(er) woman (Empress), the diva, who also expects much because she is getting much: She has the good life, she is a resource as well as the beloved who is spoiled. Oh. P.S., she is gorgeous, a beauty. In between the two different women is the Six of Swords, a Tarot card that in Rider Waite talks about leaving this behind for a better place, a better time. It means going away, avoiding, phasing out, not anymore, putting something regrettable behind and going ahead. The basic meaning is ‘to leave.’ The Three of Pentacles in Rider Waite has few meanings: a business deal, a relationship, a meeting – especially of three people – and doing his/her/your/their part. It also is an agreement, and a meeting of minds. Advice is about transition and about satisfying what others expect. You can see the process is more meaningful than the role people are playing in it; that either of these women could be in the other’s shoes another time. You can see how expectations are a large part in a deal or relationship with fellow humans. You can see how the difference between not having and having is moving to another deal, another relationship.
Meanings and Illustrations:
Queen of Swords: The old(er) woman (Queen of Swords) who is demanding, who expects, who complains, who is stern, who isn’t getting what she wants and expects and is disappointed, even annoyed or angry. She can be the bitch too: This is the ‘bitch card.’ She is depicted with this no-nonsense grimace on her face, a sword resting on the arm of her throne in her right hand, and her left hand extended as if to say “Now would be good.” Six of Swords: A Tarot card that in Rider Waite talks about leaving this behind for a better place, a better time. It means going away, avoiding, phasing out, not anymore, putting something regrettable behind and going ahead. The basic meaning is ‘to leave.’ And those people in the boat are leaving all right, leaving like refugees. In their case, the reason the future is better is that it couldn’t be worse. Empress: The young(er) woman (Empress), the voluptuous diva, who also expects much because she is getting much: She has the good life, she is a resource as well as the beloved who is spoiled. Oh. P.S., she is gorgeous, a beauty. Her illustration in Rider Waite Tarot is meant to echo the fertility goddesses of antiquity. She looks pretty good to be that old, doesn’t she?
