Tarot Readings for You for March 12, 2015 Thursday©
GUIDANCE You find yourself considered a victim by the people around you and you are stepping out of that assigned role. ‘No, I’m not in bad health because I’m older than you’; and ‘Yeah I’m short of money and sacrificing – but so what?’ and ‘We feel she needs some encouraging words but she is toughing it out.’ Conversely, you are a victim of an insufferable nag and don’t wanna talk about it. The victim role is our inquiry today. Stories is what we have, stories about being considered a victim and not accepting the label, for several different reasons in several different situations.

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 meanings of the three cards in the pictures in the Tarot Readings. It explains how these cards get together in your mind to make the messages. HERE ARE PHRASES FOR ALL THREE 2-CARD COMBINATIONS is a stream-of-consciousness bridge to your subconscious if you use it regularly – people report.
*Go to Learn Tarot by Pictures. It is what each of the 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 – than a personal reading would give you. Also, pronouns are flexible: If the sentence feels like it’s yours, and it says ‘he,’ but you’re a ‘she,’ well, it’s yours.
*AND if you write names of any two cards into the Google search bar, it will give you meanings of those!
.
Queen of Swords – Star – Four of Pentacles
.
.
……………………… Queen of Swords and Four of Pentacles are both doing without, and smack in the middle of them is Star – exuberant enthusiastic happiness and upbeat expressions. (Star can mean a performance, and also can simply mean talk, though.) We examine attitudes toward finding oneself labeled a victim and not being comfortable with that. We even witness such a person being upbeat and experiencing and openly expressing joy.
………………………….. Queen of Swords is the widow, the woman who is sacrificing, or has sacrificed. She can be the martyr complex, the whiner, the bitter bitch, or she can be the long-suffering character-ridden woman of steel. Her claim to fame is holding people up to her high standards. Shades of the Iron Maiden stereotype too. But remember, she can simply be an older woman, and this is the only card in the deck that all by itself means specifically that. Complex card, Queen of Swords – one I could write a book upon. Note that this is one of those cards that just doesn’t cross gender lines. Even when the meaning being used isn’t a person, but a trait, still, it will refer to a woman – widow, mama-bat, whining wench, the nag – all female stereotypes. See the child bas-relief upon her seat there? – Queen of Swords is a woman whose child has died. These days children don’t die as commonly, so she comes up as a widow.
………………………….. Star is feeling good all over, deliciously happy, and Star is telling all about it. Star can be confessing to a crime, saying ‘I love you’ or tattling – or making a speech, or singing. Star is also someone who will not shut up. Today it is bringing up the complaint mode of Queen of Swords, and contradicting Four of Pentacles close-mouthed policy. Star and Four of Pentacles say ‘not talking about it, keeping it to myself.’ In the illustration, Star is performing a ritual bath (ablution – quite a few religions practice this because you feel so good after-bath). So I think of Star as the feeling you get when you are singing in the shower. That works. By the way, you are in the best of health when you are Star.
………………………….. Four of Pentacles next to Star is a hug next to ‘I love you’ and also says ‘not talking.’ (Four of Pentacles is hunkered down, stymied and stifled: That’s the ‘not talking.’ Four of Pentacles today is doing without (because he is hanging onto his money for dear life), because of the influence of Queen of Swords who is deprived of something she is entitled to (or feels that way). Four of Pentacles is also being quiet, and deep feelings, as Star means heartfelt emotion. Queen of Swords is nagging and Star is talking up a storm. Four of Pentacles and Star contradict one another – the blabbermouth and the quiet-mouthed. Four of Pentacles means ‘to be short of,’ which expands to being, or feeling, inferior, but applies strongly to being short of money, budgeting, and that sort of thing. That’s where we get ‘mama did without,’ but we don’t go any further than that in this presentation. The ‘being or feeling inferior’ docks upon Queen of Swords critical attitude that someone or something isn’t up to her standards. (Namely the performance – Star’s word – isn’t up to her standards, for one thing.) So today Four of Pentacles sits at the heart of a lot of overlapping meanings. It’s easy to know what they are saying, but challenging to separate it all out – sometimes, today, it ain’t happening.
This particular spread is one of the best examples of how two cards can mean what the whole sentence means. It happens a lot here because Queen of Swords and Four of Pentacles both are lacking, and ‘short of.’ Also nagging (Queen of Swords) involves talking, and we have Star meaning happy combining with Four of Pentacles to lesson or cancel out the meaning, and there’s Queen of Swords who lacks happiness all by herself. This spread is a good study for that if you choose to indulge.
Now we show where each of the phrases in each of the sentences comes from:

Queen of Swords……….. Queen of Swords is one of those complex cards, all of whose meanings in Tarot Verbatim™ it will take you a while to apply comfortably. And, by the way, this is one of the cards Tarot Verbatim™ has a whole different perspective on than the standard view, much like Death and Two of Cups and Six of Wands. Tarot Verbatim’s™ meanings are ‘from the field,’ are not private opinions. (That is how the system works.) Queen of Swords’ illustration indicates she is mourning a dead child, which morphs into being a widow in modern times. She can be a victim, a bitter woman, a whining nag, or a woman whose stern character intimidates mere mortals. ‘Militant’ is one of her words – King of Swords’ too, as a matter of fact. So she can be a female soldier.
.
Star…………. Star is a babe – a voluptuous and maybe zoftig nude here who is singing as she pours two pitchers into an outdoor pond. Since she is performing a ritual bath (ablution, sometimes a religious rite) and singing, besides meaning feeling good all over and singing in the shower, she means performance, singing, and a gorgeous woman. Today, she is about saying ‘I love you’ and words of encouragement.
.
Four of Pentacles …………. Four of Pentacles has a stack of meanings that takes a lot of getting used to, but today we are let off easy. Today, Four of Pentacles is about not talking or not admitting, deep feelings, doing without, lacking, being or feeling inferior, sulking, a hug, holding, and ‘precious.’ The illustration shows a fellow who is hugging himself and his money as he sits in the middle of the road far from a town. Four of Pentacles is constrained in his present Tarot company, a mere shadow of his sad stifled self.
