Tarot Readings for You for October 28, 2013 Monday(c)
Guidance You come upon a time of things not being as good as they were, and you weather it, you hunker down and dig in to see whether they get better or whether you should move on. Holding onto money until times are better is like staying in an unfulfilling relationship hoping the strain will blow over. I feel things are getting to be the way they should be for us. We agree to leave money in the business until things improve. Now that poor times are over, customers will live up to their contracts.
Are YOU here for the first time? Come in!

‘Group Tarot Cards Reading’ (just below this) is the actual word-for-word messages to everyone. These readings are about you and the people around you. They are about today and the days around it. So, go ahead and pick the sentences you feel are yours and decide whether to encourage or reject them for yourself.

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.

These four Tarot folks can make lots of phrases; they get along that well.
Six of Swords and Four of Pentacles each refer to poor times. Six of Swords is saying (1) things are not as bad as they were and (2) moving in a different direction to be more profitable. We are putting something behind us. Four of Pentacles is short of money and holding onto it, budgeting. (He is an outsider in some way: See how he is outside of the town?)
In relationship, Six of Swords and Four of Pentacles also reflect poor times. Six of Swords (1) feels things are improving, are not as bad as they used to be, or (2) is leaving, withdrawing or distancing (him)self. Four of Pentacles is an unfulfilling relationship, but also is holding on. It means deep feelings. It can be clamming up, sulking, withholding attention and affection, too.
Here are the phrases Six of Swords and Four of Pentacles make together. Notice how Six of Swords denotes moving from one place or condition to another, but in such a way it means both ‘anymore’ and ‘from now on.’ Isn’t sulking anymore. Privately feel we are putting those days behind us – or feel things are getting better … or not getting much better. Clammed up and has gotten away from. Hold onto our money until times are better. Now that poor times are over. Not on a tight budget anymore. Is on a tight budget from now on.
Three of Pentacles shows the architect performing his final demonstration with the blueprints to his clients, before the last and final payment. It is business, the deal, the contract, and living up to the agreement. Hierophant’s illustration expresses the face shown to the public, the official story, the way things are supposed to be – the surface. Some of its typical phrases are: as usual, on the surface, official, appearance, acceptable, respectable, normal, the name or title of something or someone.
Three of Pentacles and Hierophant together say: in the name of the business, business looks healthy, buying (or selling) things at regular price (‘retail’), acting like this is a real relationship, a formal relationship, business as usual, business is okay, formal agreement.
Three of Pentacles and Four of Pentacles each refer both to business and relationships easily. Three of Pentacles is business meeting or deal; Four of Pentacles is being on a budget, not having enough, withholding oneself from.
You can see ‘not doing much business with them’ here, yes? And you can see ‘withholding or clamming up in a relationship’? Other phrases for Three of Pentacles and Hierophant are: unfulfilling relationship, not enough profit in the deal (or in the business), withheld money on the contract, not putting enough money into the business, not enough profit in this business. It is also a deeply felt relationship.
Three of Pentacles and Six of Swordsshow leaving the scene of a business, a business transaction, leaving the business itself, or people avoiding doing business there. It is also leaving a meeting or a relationship. Today, it says “To sell these people, go toward” and ‘Got a good deal on a cruise,” because once in a while that boat going over the water is literal. The business is also relocating, leaving where it is behind.
Six of Swords and Hierophant says ‘Things aren’t the way they usually are anymore.’ Six of Swords is leaving behind things the way they were, and Hierophant is, yes, the way things usually are. Hierophant is the way thing ought to be, so these two Rider Waite Tarot cards are saying ‘leaving because I ought to.’ Hierophant also commonly translates ‘should,’ so these two say ‘We should be moving to another location.’
Four of Pentacles and Hierophant indicate something is not the usual, not as good as it should be, is not the official, or isn’t quite respectable or acceptable. Some phrases for these two Rider Waite Tarot cards in Tarot Verbatim™ are: less formal, because you aren’t getting the money it’s worh (or that you’re worth), it isn’t public yet, isn’t up to par, isn’t that straight or honest, still not as good as it should be, keeping the name, less than the usual price, almost normal.
The main story, you can see, is about weathering a bad time that will either get better, or you will leave. In succession, the main meanings of the four cards read: business or relationship, Three of Pentacles; will not be as bad/or leaving it behind, Six of Swords; short of money or profit, or a tight budget, Four of Pentacles; the way it ought to be and/or usually is (Hierophant). As you can see, these are the elements of the story.

Three of Pentacles We are doing business; buying and selling; making contracts, agreements and deals; meeting. Three of Pentacles shows the architect performing his final demonstration with the blueprints to his clients, before the last and final payment. It is business, the deal, and living up to the agreement. It is also a meeting, and refers equally to business, social and romantic relationships.
Six of Swords Hard times and you are getting out of there with some help. The worst is over but you aren’t home free yet. Leaving, relocating. Mother and child are being paddled away from some dismal life circumstance with only the clothes on their backs. Six of Swords means ‘anymore’ and also means ‘from now on,’ which apply very differently.
Four of Pentacles Main meanings of Four of Pentacles are: Not enough, not talking, holding on to what you’ve got; private deeply held feelings. Hugging himself is what makes Four of Pentacles mean ‘deep down feelings,’ and also gives rise to the ‘holding on’ theme. Here are its phrases: Tight budget, not enough profit, insufficient, inadequate. A deep-down-inside private feeling or conviction. Illustration is a fellow outside of a town holding onto his gold for dear life, staring ahead. (See the parallel to the refugees of Six of Swords?)
Hierophant is the official face shown to the world, the ceremonial side of a religion, the usual, normal, acceptable end of anything. Respectability, and not necessarily decency. Hierophant can be Nurse Ratchett or a harmless person. The pope is pictured with the monks kneeling before him. I always wonder about those yellow suspenders: Is that really the uniform?
