Tarot Verbatim
GUIDANCE When you do something you love, you master it; when you master it, you feel good. When what you do is what you love, well, you are successful – and having influence and money goes along with that, usually. A politician is a master of the place where speech meets action. So is a lover. Today is about talk, action, and a decisive charismatic man.

Star – Magician – King of Pentacles
.
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
……..……….. Star is talk; Magician is action; King of Pentacles is a man of action, a decisive man of influence. Star is love, being crazy about someone (or something); Magician is taking the initiative; King of Pentacles is a man who takes initiative, a studly man. Elements of stories, that’s what we have here. He does what he says he will do; he can talk you into doing anything for him … stories like that.
…………………….Star shows an actress and/or singer pouring something from two pitchers into a ceremonial bath she is performing with great enthusiasm. Sometimes you can take ‘star’ literally since the illustration is about a performance. Star is one of the cards whose emphasis is on talking, so it is good for the usual ‘say, tell, etc.’ words, but it can be about a speech; it can be about confessing love; it can be about other kinds of confessions too. It can be promising … or ‘promises, promises.’ It can even be about a tattletale, a sales pitch, telling tall tales or bullshitting, explaining, pouring your guts out, or talking too much … someone who won’t shut up.
Today Star is influenced by the ‘doing’ and ‘action’ of Magician, so we have doing what you say you will do, talk about doing, promising to do, and so forth. Since Star means love and talk, and Magician means initiative, we have taking initiative to say ‘I love you,’ and we have making love.
Star is conjunct King of Pentacles, the studly guy, so he is manfully confessing his love; she is crazy about flamboyant or charismatic men.
…………………….Magician is one of those simple cards: action, initiative. Conjugate the verbs ‘do’ and ‘make,’ and you have most of Magician’s meanings, and all of the common ones. Next, any word about starting, taking initiative, making the first move … and you’ve got most of the rest of the meanings, and all the ones you need to know.
The way to put this all together neatly in your mind is to remember that as the ‘1,’ Magician stands for the male principle of action, of being active. Briefly, the first four cards in the deck catalog a happening in stages. Fool is the nascent or theoretical stage … ‘when you were just a gleam in your daddy’s eye.’ Magician is the doing, the starting. Action has to apply to something. High Priestess is receptivity, being receptive. You can think of Magician as sperm, High Priestess as egg that got fertilized by Magician. Empress is the finished product: That is why Empress is pregnant. Good way to remember these. (And Emperor is when things have been that way too long and are established, ossified, rigid. Emperor is The Establishment.)
Magician reflects King of Pentacles very well: Both are action oriented, both are definitely male.
……………………King of Pentacles has few meanings. They feel limited, even somewhat petty. Think Liberace. I think of King of Pentacles as the Italian Stallion stereotype, and the picture is Italianate. The only time this card represents a female – and it’s rare – is, say a head nurse who is overbearing. King of Pentacles is charismatic to flamboyant. He is influential to manipulative to powerful. He can be a high level crime boss, a VIP, the pool hall leader, the ladies man, the flim flam man, the top salesman or stockbroker with the mostest, a money man (banker, mortgage broker, backer of an enterprise, gambler) or a politician. He is a Legend in His Own Mind sometimes. If you ask about a pimp, he is likely to show up. Once in a while he translates ‘bastard.’
Today, next to Star, a sexy gorgeous dame, he is a studly man, and a man who is as outgoing as Star is – and Magician echoes his taking the initiative.
Well, a real man makes the first move, and a leader takes initiative, and makes what he says happen. This applies to politics and love. We speak of a gal who is crazy about men of action, even flamboyant men. We speak of an outgoing man who is at his most studly because there’s an outgoing attractive and shapely woman here. A person is successful when he is doing what he loves to do. A mover and shaker is a good talker to. We are sniffing around the places where talk meets action, in several different ways.
Now we show where each of the phrases in each of the sentences comes from:

.
Star………Star feels good, is enthusiastic, tells everyone, is shapely, is an extrovert, explains and encourages: Think cheerleader. Think singing in the shower. Think how you feel on a really good day. Star is ‘I love you’ and is saying ‘I love you.’ In addition to all this, Star joins in with the phrases of any of the cards that mean to tell, speak, say, announce, etc.
.
Magician………….Magician is the doing of it: both the action and the doer of it – which can be not just a male, not just a person, but an influence, an animal – anything. Magician also includes all singular male pronouns, including first-person pronouns – I, myself. Magician is Do It Yourself. Magician is initiating, starting, prompting and triggering action too. It is making it happen sometimes, along the lines of advice to do it or ‘Just do it.’
.
King of Pentacles………A King of Pentacles is often full of himself, the type to take the glory and the credit (FBI agent) – a proud-acting man. He is not a loner; he is outgoing, an extrovert. King of Pentacles can translate Studmuffin, studly, manipulative man, charismatic man, guy who throws his weight around. He tends to have a money job fairly often – the banker, salesman or stockbroker, or be associated with gambling. He can also be mob-connected or a politician. He has to be the head of something.
On a more positive side, King of Pentacles is decisive, deliberate, is active in his love life (both studly and decisive), has influence and power – maybe even a lot. He can be a powerhouse; is successful; has style; is outgoing; is a real man. When King of Pentacles translates a trait instead of a person, it tends to be more positive. This card suffers from stereotyping, I’m afraid. It may be the card that has fewest meanings in Tarot Verbatim™.

He is thrilled about his exciting idea about his money
Hanged Man Star, Page of Swords, King of Pentacles
Business Perspectives: He is thrilled about his exciting idea about his money. His hopes and his fears are intense re his ability to accomplish his purpose here. He really feels he is a VIP: He says so, and he will defend that position against all comers! He has intense fears about the news from the politician(s). He has intense hopes about the politician(s) invasion of his privacy. He has intense hopes about the banksters’ threatening his rights. He understands the news and is paranoid about the mobster(s)/politician(s)/bankster(s). Realize that politicians make a lot of promises and be on your guard. Realize he has so much money and power he is a threat to your enjoyment of life. He is so manipulative that he flatters you when he realizes you are on guard. When the man with money is trying to sell you on his bright idea, beware. What he hears makes him realize his wealth is threatened. Sense/Realize that he is making all these threats to manipulate (you). He relates to the exciting performance and has the idea to be its investor/backer. He knows instinctively how to manipulate you with threats and promises. A rich man realizes his health is imperiled. He knows he has the power but is afraid of what people will say. Romantic Perspectives: He is so crazy about you he fears for his own power. A naked woman is an intense threat to his personal power. He is such a studly dude, and here he is so in love he is intensely nervous. His studly instinct has him all hot and bothered, confessing his feelings. He is in love and very much afraid of being perceived as a studmuffin. The feeling of being so instinctually in love is a challenge to a man who is used to being in control of his situations. She senses he is a great lover and feels the all-over good feeling, the excitement. He knows instinctively how to manipulate you with threats and promises. Told him he is manipulative, he feels very defensive about that. Both the Star and the Page of Swords are about excitement, and the Hanged Man is about instinctual or subconscious realization … and there’s the Studly Dude himself, whose meanings are about money-power-politics. So there are ANY number of scenarios this brew can conjure up, aren’t there? – maybe some you can think of that I haven’t, here. While this King is often a powerful person, even a powerful villain, he is placed here in a Tarot environment that emphasizes feelings, including defensive, nervous feelings. These messages are letting you know you are next to the heater, get close enough to warm up, but not so close you need calamine lotion. Excitement is definitely in the air.
Meanings and Illustrations:
Star: Feeling good, being very healthy, being in love, confessing, confessing love, having a lot to say/gushing, and performance (as in music). Being the star, enthusiasm. The illustration shows a naked woman presumably bathing, pouring jugs of liquid into water, with stars, in daylight, all around. A large bird is in a tree. Page of Swords: Being thrilled or threatened, or paranoid. He stands – weapon upraised defensively – on the high point of a flat prairie, feeling ‘something is out there.’ He is nervous, excited, hyped or riled up, apprehensive, paranoid, in fear, imperiled. Beware! King of Pentacles: This fellow is often full of himself, throws his weight around whether he has any or not. He is flamboyant and manipulative, often has political power of some sort and/or wealth of some sort. He definitely has the sizzle and may have the steak. I love the face on the illustration: That kind of character is well depicted. The orb in his right hand reminds me of a lollipop, and the grapes all over him remind me of some Italian or Italianesque dudes who have statues with grapes on them in their offices. In this spread he is the studly dude because the preceding cards are a naked woman that means feeling good and love (Star) and then a card that in the Rider Waite Tarot means excitement. Hanged Man: This illustration describes the psychic or eureka realization, the way you feel when a thought strikes and you may realize ‘I always knew that, but … ” Here it means ‘intense feeling,’ intense, to know, realization, to sense or feel. It has the ‘feeling’ meaning in common with the Star card as well as the Page of Swords. (If you took the King of Pentacles out of our four today, there would be ALL kinds of meanings coming to the fore.)
Husband pulls off an honest relationship with his intimate partner
King of Wands Temperance, Five of Swords, Hermit
Romantic Perspectives: When it is clear to him he is in an intimate relationship, his pushy angry self takes over. He knows he is being taken advantage of as the husband in this close relationship. Husband’s considerate, helpful, kind nature gets the best of him with his partner. He is dealing with people who take advantage of him because he is an humble common man. Looking for a bad-boy with a temper to have a close relationship with. This relationship calms him down; he is the edgy pushy type. Watching a close relationship between two guys who are combative types. On the husband’s side, helping him show (her) who’s boss. Husband is a bully but also supportive, kind and truthful in their relationship. Being the husband of an equal makes him be understanding. Husband knows he tends to bully his partner. Husband sees his bad attitude and is healing it. Husband is monogamous in his relationship but has ‘an attitude.’ Husband pulls off an honest relationship with his intimate partner. Business and Other Perspectives: A counselor deals with men who are angry. Counsels husbands who are in abusive relationships. He is so even tempered, he gets along with bad-tempered other men. He knows he is being taken advantage of as the husband in this deal. He is an angry man, so he calms himself down when he is ripped off in a deal. An honest workingman drives a hard bargain. He is angry, he will come to your aid and fight on your side. On the side of helping the common man who is being taken advantage of. On the husband’s side, helping him when he has been pushed around/ripped off/taken advantage of. He goes out looking for a fight one-on-one when he is angry and frustrated. He tends to be arrogant, so he looks to be the husband of someone who can deal with that. Look at all the different stories these four tell! Two of them, the King of Wands and the Five of Swords, are about angry abusive men, and the other two are about making peace and a good relationship. The picture we paint here is of an edgy dude who knows and counterbalances his tendency. There is also a theme of helping and understanding. The ‘honest workman’ theme is where the Hermit intersects with the King of Wands. The Hermit is also the counselor. Note that the Five of Swords’ bullying/taking advantage of main meaning can be applied either as the perp or the victim. The message I would carry away from this is that a fellow who is ‘difficult’ is also trying not to be and is in an honest relationship with his partner.
Meanings and Illustrations:
Temperance: Close relationship, intimate relationship, one-on-one relationship, direct one-on-one dealing, with an equal. This card has some similar meanings to the Three of Pentacles. It shows an angel pouring what is supposed to be wine, mixing it with water. Its meaning traditionally is literally ‘Temperance,’ as in W omen’s Christian Temperance Union. In the Middle Ages, adding this made the deck more respectable. I don’t find that kind of meaning expressed by this card at all, ever. Healing is one of its meanings. But today it’s all about relationship and deals. Five of Swords: The illustration shows a cruel guy who – the story goes – told his buddies ‘Let’s play at swords,’ and then, when he won, took theirs as if they were in a duel. So it is about bullying, taking advantage, trickery, and generally being a bastard. In our story today, paired with the King of Wands, a/k/a ‘the angry, irritated, frustrated lower-class man,’ this Rider Waite Tarot card is about being abusive or abused, taking advantage or being taken advantage of, pushing or being pushy, about having a bad attitude. Hermit: This pictures a monk, the polar opposite of the preceding card. The monk searches for people to help them at night on their travels. It means to understand, to know, to be kind and considerate and supportive, to go out and look or search for anything, and to be a counselor. Obviously, to be monogamous or ‘true.’ King of Wands: This, as I said, is the angry irritated frustrated ill tempered possibly lower-class lout, or the workingman, as well as being the main ‘husband’ card. On the illustration, he is a redhead, has the board in his right hand, and the left sort of looks like someone who is going to get up angrily. That lizard is a salamander, symbol of ‘fire’ or anger.
