Tarot Readings for you for October 3, 2014 Friday©
GUIDANCE One disgruntled apple spoils the whole happy barrel. Doesn’t matter whether that person is self-sacrificing, or is justified in the disgruntled position, the barrel still spoils. Demanding what you are entitled to (even respect) when you have been self-sacrificing for the sake of others’ happiness labels you as the nag (Mama-bat). So consider self-sacrifice a vice, and share from the beginning in the benefits of membership of the clan so you will be respected as an equal. We talk about being happy when you are broke, being happy when you are old, being happy being short-changed, being happy not being happily married … just being happy in private for no good reason at all.

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 three pictures in the Tarot Readings – the pictures above here. It explains how these three 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 three 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.

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
………………….…………………… The first thing you see here is Mama, the family, and the budget or being short of money. You also see the nagging woman, feeling inferior or stifling oneself, and the family. There’s a theme of not having enough and doing without, and there’s happiness. Stories, we got ’em today.
………………………….. Queen of Swords in Tarot Verbatim™ is reliably the bitch card, and is also the self-sacrificing female of the family, the demanding woman or nag, the woman who holds others up to standards they are not meeting, the woman of strong character, the assertive woman, the militant or stern woman, the Ex … and you can immediately see how these are in the same basket. Queen of Swords is also the widow, and a woman who mourns a dead baby. In her illustration, she has that sword held upright and the other hand outstretched like ‘Now would be good.’ She has that stern put-up face of someone who is feeling martyred. On her chair is a baby’s face.
………………………….. Four of Pentacles His illustration covers quite a few otherwise-unrelated categories. Today we are using the ‘doing without’ and the ‘short of money’ ones, mentioning stifling oneself, keeping secrets, and ‘excluded’ categories. ‘Don’t let myself,’ ‘everybody but me,’ ‘in no shape to,’ ‘get the feeling,’ and ‘damper’ are phrases you might not anticipate from these categories. He sits outside of town, clutching his coins, staring straight ahead, all alone in the street.
………………………….. Ten of Cups One big happy family, it says. We are united, we are together, we are the good and prosperous ones, the respectable people. This is the family most families project themselves as being, believing other families’ projection and keeping up with it. It most often translates ‘happy,’ as it does today, and ‘everyone.’ It can be any group at all, of any size, anyhow.
……….………….. Queen of Swords and Four of Pentacles Queen of Swords and Four of Pentacles There’s an interesting interplay here, in that these two Tarot cards mean both that people are not living up to what she expects of them, and that people do not want to associate with, or talk to, her. She is also dissatisfied or disgruntled with her own inferior status. Queen of Swords and Four of Pentacles also say ‘I won’t let myself complain,’ ‘Long for a hug’ and ‘She keeps the secret.’ You can see how the illustration of Four of Pentacles produces disparate phrases when combined with a given card. (Its full definitions are listed at the end of this article, as usual.)
………..………….. Queen of Swords and Ten of Cups Queen of Swords and Ten of Cups Queen of Swords says ‘She wants’ as well as ‘She wants and isn’t getting.’ So here Queen of Swords wants everyone to be happy. It’s also everyone being happy to live with her. ‘I don’t have the house of my dreams,’ and ‘not having a happy marriage’ belong to this pair of Tarot cards – even ‘I am happy without a happy marriage,’ because you can use the meaning of a card more than once in a sentence if it grooves. Since Queen of Swords is famous for doing without, ‘She sacrifices for the house.’ Since Queen of Swords is the widow misses her mate, and Ten of Cups is the marriage partner, ‘She longs for her departed husband.’ How she misses being married, too. ‘People fall short of her standards’ uses the most common meanings of each card. Well, she nags the family too. But ‘Everybody likes Mama, or Grandma.’
………..…………… Four of Pentacles and Ten of Cups Four of Pentacles and Ten of Cups combine family and lack. Everybody is short of money, this says. I restrain myself (hold myself back, Four of Pentacles) so people will like me or be happy with me (Ten of Cups). Feeling short-changed or feeling inferior in the family: You see that, right? Four of Pentacles is keeping a secret, so these to say ‘keeping the family secret.’ Can you see ‘A hug from my husband’ as well? Ten of Cups, as ‘marriage partner’ is either wife or husband, and Four of Pentacles’ hugging himself makes that meaning for it. ‘People fall short’ and ‘ a damper on happiness’ and ‘we are all restraining ourselves.’ ‘Everybody but me’ isn’t immediately apparent: Four of Pentacles is outside of town, excluded, remember?
All of us are not as happy as we could be. There’s always something more that would be better, you know? Guess what? – you can be happy without enough; you can be happy without the home life, or the house, that you really want. You can be happy for no damn reason. They say living well is the best revenge, even. We make it a study today that sacrificing your own happiness for others may make you snarly enough to alienate your beneficiaries! Do not deny yourself your share of the family’s goodies, for goodness’ sake!

Queen of Swords……… Queen of Swords’ face is set in a stern resigned displeased and assertive expression. She isn’t getting what she is entitled to, isn’t being respected. Her high standards are not being met by you people. She is usually some kind of victim, or feels she is. This is how Queen of Swords comes to mean ‘Plaintiff’ or ‘Complaint’ in a court case. This is the widow everybody takes advantage of, or a woman who misses a dead child or baby, or an older woman who isn’t being respected. On the other hand, Queen of Swords is the strong woman, the assertive woman. It can be advice to assert yourself, demand what you are entitled to.
.
Four of Pentacles .………… Here’s a guy sitting outside of town holding onto his money, staring straight ahead, hugging himself. This illustration applies several ways. It is about withholding and holding onto, and about internal processes – gut level – often translating ‘deep down.’ It is about being shy too. It means privacy and guarding privacy, and it means ‘secret’ and keeping anything secret. It means not telling, not divulging, not talking, and ‘shut up.’ It means stifling, suppressing or blocking feelings or anything else. It means ‘insufficient,’ not enough, not very, and not much. It is being low key, quiet, keeping to yourself. It is about not having enough, or not spending enough, money: budget, thrifty, cheap, saving money, broke, stingy, holding onto the money, “Don’t spend” or ‘not worth it’ or not paid what you’re worth,’ as in ‘underpaid.’ Sometimes it’s a hug. Watch for it in medical questions; it means internal there too.
.
Ten of Cups ………. is ‘us,’ ‘we’ and ‘everybody.’ All of us, the whole family – any group that isn’t sinister and is well-adjusted or civilized. Ten of Cups is unity and happiness. It is one of the (positive) marriage cards, so it represents a couple. You also see a home there, a house. ‘Married with children’ is one of its flagship phrases because of the requisite boy-and-a-girl prancing in front of the house graced by the rainbow. Ten of Cups is also the good life, the prosperous life of the suburbs.
