Tarot Readings for You for March 16-17, 2019

Today we demonstrate how you (yes, you) can read Tarot (at least Rider Waite Tarot in Tarot Verbatim) as a dialog; you and Tarot in a conversation. You can learn to do that piecemeal right here free, or you can organize and speed it up by buying the Tarot Email Training which you will find under the green ‘Get Them Now’ bar. Or you can just enjoy how it’s done here. We have a good true story.

The ‘Shortcut!’ navigation tab above will allow you to purchase Emily’s interpretation of your three-card spread, for less than nine dollars. It is especially for when you are doing your own cards and wonder. (It is not a reading on a question. You enter three cards, the TOPIC, and payment.)

Three examples (three questions) from one person of Email Reading are a study in going ahead and (carefully) answering when the material seems contradictory. They are also an example of why my instructions to Email buyers are that it’s better to say that someone in a love story is married (especially, not to the love interest). In the questions of this reading, I do not know that, so I read in the alternative – meaning, I say it means this, or that, or that. It turns out that it all does make sense to Querant, who explains that it’s all true ….

Then – third question – she asks what conflicted Love Interest is going to do: action in the real world. And this is a demonstration of how … just because someone is in a dither about something … doesn’t rule out their getting on with it decisively.

 

My question is: What does he feel for me? What will he will do regarding to me in next 3 months?

Tarot Readings: Satisfaction About the Problem (Nine of Cups and Devil)

Whatever difficulty you are struggling with now, all of it goes your way.

 

I thought it was such a big problem, but when I raised hell, I got satisfaction.

 

Yes, the showdown was stressful, but you got your way, didn’t you?

 

Is it a problem for you to fight to get what you want?

 

If I could fight this craving, I would have the life I want.

 

I seem to get exactly what I want when I resist my dark side.

 

I guess I’m satisfied; I fought my devil and I won.

 

 

Tarot Readings: The Joy of Combat (Nine of Cups and Seven of Wands)

I seem to be struggling against what I really want like it’s the enemy.

 

Aren’t you pleased that you are standing up to the downside?

 

I thought I was defending myself, but now I want to get really vicious.

 

I think the worst part of the abuse I face is: I enjoy the challenge.

 

Do you really want to be in this nasty fight? You will win it.

 

What is this joy of battle I am feeling? – It’s addicting.

 

Maybe I really want to do some harm in this battle I find myself in.

 

Is he demanding his space like you’re his enemy? – let him have it, grant his wish.

 

I seem to enjoy getting in the bad guys’ face.

 

Why am I feeling so mean? – because I want to defend myself.

 

I will get what I want if I go face to face with the opponent. Am pondering this.

 

I think the worst that can happen would be:  I get to scream and holler.

 

Why do I consider getting in his ugly face with such satisfaction?

 

Does he really want to fight me when I’m PMSing … goood!

 

They won’t be so sure they want to fight when you fight dirty.

 

If it is evil we are fighting against, bring it on.

 

 

Tarot Readings: Pondering the Problems (Seven of Pentacles and Devil)

Is the worst part when I enjoyed his hissyfit?

 

I wished a bad thing on someone who seems to be confronted with it now.

 

Sooo, does he enjoy being an obnoxious deviate?

 

Does he really get satisfaction out of being aggressively rude?

 

He is such a pushy mouthy low-rent dude: Why do I want him?

 

Why does he enjoy harassing people when he is drunk/high?

 

So, am I ugly? – that is the last thing I want or will let happen.

 

I guess he wants it all and will do any lowdown thing to get it.

 

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.

 

Devil

Nine of Cups – Seven of Pentacles – Seven of Wands

 

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

.

Here we describe the awakening to the joy of combat of a soul who perhaps enjoys peace to the point of compromising. The joy of combat is Nine of Cups and Seven of Wands – Nine of Cups (enjoy, satisfaction) and Seven of Wands (to stand up for yourself).

Seven of Pentacles and Devil: The awakening is pondering (Seven of Pentacles) a bad situation or a problem person … or evil person, or an evil situation (Devil) …

Seven of Wands and Seven of Pentacles: … that is aggressively in your face (Seven of Wands), and asking yourself if (Seven of Pentacles) …

Nine of Cups and Seven of Wands: … you want to fight this (Seven of Wands). Notice that a sentence can use two different meanings of the same card sometimes: Seven of Wands is ‘in your face’ and is ‘fight this.’ That’s because Seven of Wands means both to be interfered with or invaded and to defend yourself against same.

Seven of Wands and Devil: Fighting your devil, you win. (Seven of Wands, fighting; Devil, your devil; Nine of Cups, you win.)

Seven of Pentacles and Nine of Cups: Then we describe the aftermath of the battle, the plaintive questioning and pondering (Seven of Pentacles) of ‘Did I really enjoy that fight?’ (Seven of Pentacles, ‘Did I,’ Nine of Cups, ‘really enjoy’ and Seven of Wands, that fight. Note that ‘Did I really enjoy that fight?’ uses the same two cards that mean the joy of combat, Nine of Cups and Seven of Wands.

Going back to Seven of Wands and Devil, these two cards can describe a knock-down drag-out fight involving defense against someone or something extreme, ugly, vicious or evil – including a bad habit or addiction.

= Did you notice that Devil and Seven of Wands both mean ‘obnoxious’? Devil means that directly and Seven of Wands is acting obnoxiously.

 

OTHER MEANINGS

Other meanings of Nine of Cups and Seven of Pentacles are: Is this really what you want? Enjoy speculating about something. What if I got what I am wishing for?

Seven of Wands and Seven of Pentacles also mean: Maybe I should stand up for myself. Is he really going to get in my face? Why is (he) so obnoxious?

Nine of Cups and Seven of Wands also mean: get between you and what you really want, want to fight or enjoy the fight, and fight for what you want. I enjoyed his hissyfit.

Seven of Pentacles and Devil also mean: Is it really that bad? Why is (he) so nasty? Am I ugly? Is that the worst part?

Seven of Wands and Devil also mean: confronted with a bad situation, fight my devil, defend myself against the bad guy(s), rude and obnoxious, a dirty fight, and get in my face when I’m PMSing.

 

LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES

.

Nine of Cups “Your wish is granted” is Nine of Cups in just about any self-respecting Tarot deck.  The illustration evokes that Thanksgiving ‘I et the whole thing’ feeling.  It shows a chubby fella with a big grin, the nine empty cups he drained on display. Nine of Cups also means greed, excess, consumerism, satiety, gluttony, pigging out … but not today. Today it speaks of enjoyment, of winning, and of wanting to.

 

Seven of Pentacles Hmmm.  That’s what it means, you know, ‘Hmmm.’  He is pondering and wondering whether his cucumbers will produce a crop, whether both genders of plant are present. Today it’s about ‘Did I really?’

 

Seven of Wands Mad as hell, he is, and in someone’s face demanding his space.  The mouthy pushy adolescent of any age and gender, obstreperous and obnoxious, intrusive and loud. But this Rider Waite Tarot card also embraces defending yourself, defending your position, defending a cause, as well as defending your space or turf.  So the ‘mad as hell and won’t take it anymore’ can be justified or not justified.  Illustration shows just that: someone defending his place from a number of intruders who intend to make it theirs.

 

Devil represents the concept that being attached to dark-side anything (things, people, substances, concepts, attitudes, feelings) is voluntary;  your chains are loose.  Devil also refers to fear, the enemy, the problem, nasty, ugly, rage, killing, hate, perversions, lust and the word ‘hideous.’ but it doesn’t have to be a ‘bad card’; it also can be about physical and about an attachment of one thing to another, like papers clipped together.

Advice announces you will win if you stand up to the dark side inside or outside yourself.  The big announcement is:  Whatever the biggest problem is,  is where your luck is:  Push hard there and the cosmic vending machine will send what you select down the chute.  The same messages produce the idea of enjoying the challenge,  the fight,  with the dark side,  with bullies of all stripes.  “Aren’t you pleased that you are standing up to the downside?”  is my favorite.  Enjoy resisting cravings and addictions.   Cowardly lion no more.

(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!

DAILY MESSAGE TAROT ANALYSIS  Tell the visitors here something useful and meaningful to them.

Problem-Resolved-Wonderfully Perspective (Nine of Cups + Devil)

Regarding whatever problem you are struggling with:  It goes your way,  all your way!

Wherever things are hardest for you,  push there for the best satisfying experience ever!

You thought you were facing a big problem but you got exactly what you wanted.

Well,  the showdown was a stressful experience,  wasn’t it?  –  but you got your way.

Can you fight for what you want and get it,  or is that a problem for you?

I believe you can fight that craving and have the life you want.

All you have to do is resist your evil side to be what you want to be,  you know?

I guess I fought my devil and won,  because I am satisfied with myself.

Struggle,  Combat,  Fight Perspective (Seven of Wands)

Do you really want this nasty fight?  –  you will win.

What is this joy of battle I am feeling?  –  It’s addicting.

Oh?  It wants to fight?  I’m feeling nasty!

Why am I feeling so mean?  –  because I want to defend myself?

Did I really get that wicked when I would not let him come in:  Yeah …!

Why do I consider getting directly in the face of the enemy with such satisfaction?

I think the worst that can happen would be:  I get him to scream and holler.

If you get in the bad guys’  face combatively,  you will get what you want.

He seems to be struggling against what he really wants like it’s the enemy.

Aren’t you pleased that you are standing up to the downside?

If it is evil we are fighting against,  bring it on!

Want to do harm in this battle now,  I guess.

I thought I was defending myself,  but now I want to get really vicious.

I will get what I want if I go face to face with the enemy.  Pondering this.

Well,  I thought I was defending myself … then I wanted to kill.

I guess if it’s a battle to the death,  I want it.

Is he demanding his space like you’re his enemy?  –  let him have it,  grant his wish.

I think the worst part of the abuse I face is:  enjoying the challenge.

Questions to Ponder Perspective (Seven of Pentacles)

Why does he get such satisfaction out of being aggressively rude and obnoxious?

He is such a pushy mouthy low-rent dude:  Why do I want him?

Why does he enjoy harassing people when he is drunk/high?

I guess he wants it all and will do any deviate and evil thing to get it.

I guess we gotta do something about those greedy evildoers.

Sooo,  does he enjoy being an obnoxious deviate?

Is the worst part when I enjoyed his hissyfit?

So,  am I ugly?  –  that is the last thing I want or will let happen.

I wished a bad thing on him,  I guess he is confronted with it now.

Devil

Nine of Cups  –  Seven of Pentacles  –  Seven of Wands

 

MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS:  OBSERVATION OF THE SPREAD

 

Wow!  This is different.  This was fun to type up,  quick too.  Starting with  “Your wish is granted,”  (Every deck I know of has this meaning for Nine of Cups.),  we go to Seven of Pentacles which is wondering and figuring things out,  pondering.

 

Then come two cards that  –  especially when combined  –  mean a knock-down,  drag-out battle involving defense and something extreme.  Now we got a story going!  –  some kind of nasty battle,  because Devil is  ‘most anything nasty,  ugly,  evil … you know,  a devil of a time?

I see this as an awakening to the joy of combat of a soul who valued peace to the point of cowardice.  Girls are like that a lot of the time,  those of us who aren’t overtly bloodthirsty?

 

MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS:  INDIVIDUAL RIDER WAITE TAROT CARDS

Nine of Cups,  as I said,  means  “Your wish is granted”  in just about any self-respecting Tarot deck.  The illustration evokes that Thanksgiving  ‘I et the whole thing’  feeling.  It shows a chubby fella with a big grin,  nine empty cups he drained.  Bet you can guess,  from the grin,  what was in them?  So Nine of Cups also means greed,  excess,  consumerism,  satiety,  gluttony,  pigging out … but not today.

 

Seven of Pentacles Hmmm.  That’s what it means,  you know,  ‘Hmmm.’  He is pondering and wondering whether his cucumbers will produce a crop,  whether both genders of plant are present.

 

Seven of Wands Mad as hell,  he is,  and in someone’s face demanding his space.  The mouthy pushy adolescent of any age and gender,  obstreperous and obnoxious,  intrusive and loud.  But this Rider Waite Tarot card also embraces defending yourself,  defending your position,  defending a cause,  defending your space or turf.  So the  ‘mad as hell and won’t take it anymore’  can be justified or not.  Illustration shows just that:  someone defending his place from a number of intruders who think it’s theirs.

 

Devil stands for the concept that being attached to dark-side anything (things,  people,  substances,  concepts,  attitudes,  feelings) is voluntary;  your chains are loose.  Devil also refers to fear,  the enemy,  the problem,  nasty,  ugly,  rage,  killing,  hate,  perversions,  lust and the word  ‘hideous.’  but it doesn’t have to be a ‘bad card’;  it also can be about physical and about an attachment of one thing to another,  like papers clipped together.

Our Daily Spread for Mar. 30, 2011

Rider_Waite_Tarot_Spread

What is her problem and what does that have to do with me?

Six of Wands
Devil, Queen of Swords, Seven of Pentacles

So, are you a strong enough woman to be nasty to these people who are expecting you to serve them?
She is a strong woman who asks hard questions of the whole self-righteous lot of them.
So, is she nasty enough to deal with all those mooching phonies?
How does this old lady make them for her do what she needs done?
She is so strong (evil, wicked, mean and nasty!), how could you go against her program?

She figures she isn’t getting something she deserves, she will get it out of someone hatefully.
Her demands are unmet, and there’s an obstacle, so who is she going to get to serve her cause?
She could be victimized or taken advantage of by someone who hates her.
She is a hateful bitch, you never know what her agenda is.
So, how badly was the victim double-crossed?

She has a campaign going about a big problem and she pressures people asking them to join.
What is this hateful old bat up to now? or ‘The bitch from hell’: what does she want of you now?
She is one of those complaining disabled people who expects to be waited on, it seems.
What is she doing about her problem as she demands others get on the bandwagon?
What is her problem and what does that have to do with me?

Why is the problem she complains of the fault of evil people who deceived her?
Somehow she thinks these are bad guys who double-crossed her and she is mad.
Does she really blame other people for the difficulties she whines about?
Does she really think they victimized her and are the bad guys?
What have you done for me lately, you owe me, you are my problem: that type of old lady.

I almost didn’t type these two up. (I think the next spread is similar.) But I figured someone out there must be dealing with this, since it came up twice.

The Six of Wands is a general ‘conspiracy’ card: Someone has an agenda, is deceiving or using or double-crossing friends. It is also about a campaign.

This is easy to connect to the Devil, who is just about any problem or bad guy or difficulty or obstacle.
Then we have the woman who complains, whines, is a victim and/or a bitch – or she can be a strong woman, the Queen of Swords. Both these cards can be about a really bad attitude. And Devil with Queen of Swords also describes a bitching handicapped or ill person or invalid – that type.

Lastly the Seven of Pentacles puts a question to this story.

Advice here would be a heads-up that you could be encountering this ‘I’m a victim and you are expected to serve me’ attitude. America is full of wound-flaunting individuals, isn’t it? So BOLO for this (Be On The Lookout, a police term).

Meanings and Illustrations:

Devil: One of the most flexible and therefore most ambiguous of Rider Waite Tarot cards. The Devil means almost anything unpleasant, hateful, dirty, nasty, ill, or in the way. It can also mean attachment and ‘physical.’ Next to the Queen of Swords – a victim, an unpleasant and complaining woman (your ex!) you could have the complaining invalid, the bitch from hell, or a victim of some brutal episode.
The illustration shows people voluntarily attached to the Devil with all his occult symbols and a really nasty look on his face.

Queen of Swords: Here is the strong assertive woman a/k/a the bitch, the complaining woman, the victim, the ex. She has her hand out and a stern unpleasant look on her face in the illustration This is about her missing her dead child, signified by the child’s face on her throne, so she can be a widow as well (missing the deceased). She is not getting what she deserves or feels she deserves, she in unsatisfied, dissatisfied punitive, angry and whiny. Your ex.

Seven of Pentacles: One of the ‘duh’ cards that can also instruct you as the reader to put the answer in the form of a question. It means such things as ‘it seems,’ as well as to wonder and puzzle. Illustration is the fella in his garden wondering whether his vines will bear fruit because it’s too early to tell yet.

Six of Wands: The Six of Wands is one of the ‘conspiracy’ cards: Someone has an agenda, is deceiving or using or double-crossing friends. It is also about a campaign. People are out to get ya. The illustration is meant to illustrate a traitor in the army (of King Richard the Third) who is going to betray its victory to his own agenda.

Rider_Waite_Tarot_Spread

By fair means or foul she will achieve her aim – she is on nobody’s side but her own because she feels her turf is threatened

Nine of Wands
Chariot, Seven of Swords, Nine of Pentacles

She is going to have money and a nice home of her own one way or the other: You better watch out!
Her cutthroat ambition to be independently wealthy is a potential threat to you.
By fair means or foul she will achieve her aim – she is on nobody’s side but her own because she feels her turf is threatened.
This time she stands her ground, because her defenses were violated before and she is taking charge now.
Apprehensive about the campaign to do the wealthy woman out of her independent control.

Using his sense of responsibility against him, and putting her on the defensive about her control of her own business.
Something threatening is afoot here regarding your being in complete control of your own business.
Beware! Something lurks beneath a very honorable independent position.
Intent is to double-cross the independent woman who is on guard against this.
She is apprehensive about an intended invasion of her turf/home by a sneak thief or traitor.

She is confident she will succeed in spite of all the hazards out there.
He double-crossed her and is nervous about that, since she is still in control of her kingdom.
Cutthroat competition is a threat to the businesswoman.
The intent is to outfox and steal from the landowner, but is nervous about that.
Being on guard against malicious intent is part of being a woman in business.

This is a story about the American Dream of ‘getting mine’ and of keeping it as well. Both the Chariot and the Nine of Pentacles are successful. Each is bordered by something to fear, by a danger. Just as in the first today’s spread, some chicanery, some malice, some thievery by deception is afoot, with the victim possibly being female. Each spread also reads potentially as the female being the culprit. (Remember, Tarot does not identify parties; the question identifies parties and Tarot tells the story. And we, of course, have no question to frame these answers, so we go as far afield as we can imagine.) Both of today’s spreads specify evil intent in what appears to be above board.

Advice is simply to keep an eye on the motives of anyone who is in a position to shave off a piece of your pie, be you a lady or a gentleman – because each of these spreads also has reversible genders to the tale of intrigue.

Meanings and Illustrations:

Chariot: Success, being in control and keeping in control by ambition and expertise. Deliberate intent. Ability and will operating in unison. Illustration shows a charioteer controlling steeds who each want to go in opposite directions but are going ahead because that is the direction he wants to go.

Seven of Swords: The criminal, the double-crosser, the sneak thief, the one who gets past your defenses and makes off with what you need to succeed, disarms you. To outfox, and to get away with the offense. The illustration in Rider Waite shows a spy making off with the enemy’s weapons from its camp – apparently in broad daylight.

Nine of Pentacles: She is the property owner, the independently wealthy businesswoman, the single woman who doesn’t need anybody. She is shown so clearly in the Rider Waite illustration as the lady of leisure in her vineyards with her falcon (Yeah, that’s supposed to be a falcon.) with such a ‘I’m to myself’ look on her face. In case you don’t get all those hints, the snail means she does things in her own sweet time.

Nine of Wands: They got him once and he is afraid they will come back and attack again. He is guarding his borders. Been there, haven’t you? He has a headache, his head is bandaged.
