Tarot Verbatim
The most common question in romance that psychics get asked is ‘Why won’t he?’ Gals always think something went wrong, or that they did some faux pas. Often, that isn’t the case: Gal has been careful. Often, it’s an inner conflict with the guy – that’s actually the most often Tarot analysis that I report to an inquirer. So here is a prime example of that.
.
You can learn to do talks with Tarot like this with the Tarot Email Training course, which you can investigate by activating that bar that says ‘Get Them Now.’
.
You can delve into the card’s interactions with one another, and into their individual meanings, by putting one or two cards’ names into a Google search bar. Google sends you the archives of our site, and you can even click on the ‘more’ at the bottom of the set of six, and really get into those meanings, all seven years of them!
.
And you can get a 3-card Tarot analysis of whatever you are thinking about from Emily, done just like this one. Start by going to the Email Reading navigation tab up there. It’s inexpensive too.

Question: He does not seem to want to be in any kind of relationship with me. When I ask him about it he always says that he is interested but does not make any plans and is unromantic. I want to know why he does not want to be with me, what went wrong, what’s stopping him?

This is the ancient story of a guy having to be Lord and Master not only of his fate but of his woman’s. And you clearly don’t even notice (Strength, Nine of Pentacles, Queen of Wands, World are all women who have their affairs in order and under control.)
.
What works best in a situation like this is to quit fiddling with the dial and let him sort himself out. He is hiding under the bed I call it; John Gray dignifies it ‘in his cave.’
.
Client says:
Sure, you have my permission to use any of my readings.
I actually expected that kind of answer to my question because in my own spreads it shows that he is thinking and thinking… I just hope it won’t take him a lifetime.
Thank you, you were very helpful and accurate as always.
.
Emily’s remark:
Tarot, especially Tarot Verbatim, talks to a person through his or her subconscious, so both of us got the same analysis of the same situation. I love to see examples of that!

Tarot Readings: Overcoming Vices, Problems and People (Strength)
“I am evil wicked mean and nasty, I will outfox them and have them eating from my hand.”
When you have a very serious situation you are on your own to deal with, it will bring out your devious side.
Overcoming this kind of sickness is going to be very inconvenient.
When you’ve got a grip on your own darkside, you get their darkside to behave.
When you have a grip on your own vices, you are a stabilizing influence to others who have vices.
I will overcome my secret vice.
An addiction has got the best of me, and I am going to get the best of it.
This respectable guy has a secret porn addiction she keeps him from indulging.
Act as if it isn’t a problem at all: This is a permanent fix.
Tarot Readings: It’s Festering, But We’re Fixing It (Six of Wands + Strength)
Some things are festering beneath the surface, but I am going to have that taken care of.
There is a good solid future here in spite of all the problems: We have things under control when it doesn’t look like we do.
Politics is always a dirty game you have to stay on top of.
I am going to look bad as I handle my bad side.
Tarot Readings: Asserting Yourself (Strength)
She handles the nastiest customers profitably, she has a sneaky side of her own.
You are going to get your enemies to support your cause.
We have enough funding and influence to stifle opposition.
She isn’t letting (him) be (his) nasty self; (he) will have to be a hypocrit.
She is not going to let (him) even pretend to be bad.
My plan to overcome my bad temper is to use it against itself.
A bad life has got the best of me, and I have a plan to straighten this out.
Being in charge of preventing people from making money illegally, you can get away with it yourself.
Tarot Readings: Preventing It Before It’s a Problem (Strength + Devil)
A serious ailment lies undetected for a long time before it gets treated.
Going to nip this condition in the bud before symptoms appear.
There are some financial problems we must prevent before they can manifest.
I can handle any terrible thing by having a strategy, a plan.
A really slick person can keep a bank from destroying him/her.
Six of Wands and Devil … not good. You could say it’s the dark side getting the best of us.
Six of Wands is the undetected enemy within, the traitor or Fifth Columnist, being under the influence of a harmful agent of any sort, but it also can be outfoxing, having a strategy, and the mere appearance of (anything) … as in pretending to be something it’s not. Sneaky side. The pretend friend. Self-delusional following of a cause.
Devil can be just about any awful thing, any dark side, any bad habit or harmful practice or agent. ‘Toxic.’ It’s the bad spectrum of hate, it’s the illness that is serious. With support, it could also even speak of demons or black arts. It quite often is simply ‘problem’ or ‘bad situation’ or being nasty, ill-tempered or inclined to lowlife or violent activity.
So you quickly look around to see what kind of company these two are set in. Whew, good news! Strength is here, along with the stability meanings of Two of Wands.
Strength is having such a strong presence that trouble avoids you, you nip opposition in the bud. An ounce of prevention. The concept applies to everything: Muggers avoid people who can handle a fight; bad spirits avoid spiritual adepts; you don’t challenge the stronger candidate – and so on. Strength can handle it. Strength overcomes both internal and external threats. Strength is overcoming, especially overcoming some bad situation, some dark side, some personal difficulty or addiction.
Where the Devil appears, it’s a relief to see Strength … always.
Two of Wands is about the future; a long time or permanent or long term (anything); permanent or stable or stability; financial or banking; a plan; the outlook. It is about having influence and power so that you can plan ahead for your own profit.
Devil can be just about any awful thing, any dark side, any bad habit or harmful practice or agent of destruction. ‘Toxic.’ It’s the bad spectrum of hate, it’s the illness that is serious. With other malefic cards, it could also speak of demons or black arts. It quite often is simply ‘problem’ or ‘bad situation’ or being nasty, ill-tempered or inclined to lowlife or violent activity.
You can do it. Plan ahead in order to prevent your own dark side from influencing you. Look ahead to keep yourself away from bad situations out there. Expect the unexpected threats, both internal and external ones, to your sanity and your safety, because you can handle them; you are strong enough to overcome whatever ….
Six of Wands is the undetected enemy within, the traitor or Fifth Columnist, being under the influence of a harmful agent of any sort, but it also can be outfoxing, having a strategy, and the mere appearance of (anything) … as in pretending to be something it’s not. Sneaky side. The pretend friend. A disease without symptoms (yet). Self-delusional following of a cause. It illustrates the betrayal of King Richard III, in a battle, to a lifetime of Arab captivity, orchestrated by the next-in-succession to the thone of England.
Two of Wands A bankster surveys his real estate kingdom, planning to make more profit from it. He stands on the finished roof of his castle, elaborately dressed, holding the world in his hands. Two of Wands is about the future; a long time or permanent or long term (anything); permanent or stable or stability; financial or banking; a plan; the outlook. It is about having influence and power so that you can plan ahead for your own profit. Often, it simply contributes the future tense to another card’s verb.
Strength is about handling and overcoming both internal and external challenges, be they enemies, opposition, personal issues, habits and addictions … anything at all. A spiritually strong person repels spiritual opposition; a physically adept person repels muggers, and so forth. The phrase Strength commonly contributes is ‘can handle,’ aptly illustrated by a woman who has shut the mouth of the lion, and made him pur. She is dressed in a white robe with garlands, and has the ‘eternity symbol’ for a halo.
Devil can be just about any awful thing, any dark side, any bad habit or harmful practice or agent of destruction. ‘Toxic.’ It’s the bad spectrum of hate, it’s the illness that is serious. With support, it could also speak of demons or black arts. It quite often is simply ‘problem’ or ‘bad situation’ or being nasty, ill-tempered or inclined to lowlife or violent activity. The picture speaks for itself: the hideous-looking horned goatlike creature with the bad signs.
Four Card Spreads, Our Daily Spread, Tarot Verbatim
An honest person is one who has overcome his/her own sneakiness
Hermit
Ace of Wands, Strength, Six of Wands
You have to understand crooks to handle and overcome them.
An honest person is one who has overcome his/her own sneakiness.
You have to know what their agenda is in order to oppose it.
You have to know what they are up to if you are going to prevent them from doing harm.
She makes an honest man of a guy who is out to get laid.
The one thing he is out to get involves being devoted to a very dominant female.
He is honest with himself about his one-purpose agenda to get her to make him behave.
To seduce a woman of character, a man must be patient and sincere.
Watch her handle forceful opposition by seeming to be on its side.
The main point is to investigate so as not to let subversives in.
He is patient with other people’s blatant attempts to use him: He makes their attempts harmless.
Being wise to a mooch is the only way to prevent its depredations.
He helps her overcome the main thing she has going against her.
She handles supposed friends who come against her, with the help of a friend.
He advises her to be forceful in her defense against betrayals.
Drama here. In the middle we have preventing an enemy from attacking by taming it, the Strength card. It is often a woman doing that. The point is her character creates the ability to nip opposition in the bud. To the left is the Ace of Wands (He seems to show up for dinner often at our table, doesn’t he?) which suggests a forceful attack. To the right is the Six of Wands which suggests a sneaky subversive attack. Both Strength and Ace of Wands are about winning a conflict. If you take Ace of Wands and Six of Wands, you are talking a sexual seduction with an ulterior purpose, and they appear on either side of the lady of character who disciplines snarky defiance and who puts down force. And then above them all we have the Hermit who is sincerity, honesty, devotion, and observing – or a person (most likely male) who is sincere, helpful, honest, devoted, or who observes.
Advice. We talk about character here with the Strength and the Hermit- both a male and a female who are characterized as having character. And we talk about dealing firmly with someone (or the someones) who don’t, who are subversive, who betray friendship. So advice is to observe, to look for snarky behavior around you, and deal with it firmly, not let it do harm. You may have the help of a friend in this project. It is not going to be any big project, no ordeal involved.
Meanings and Illustrations:
Ace of Wands: This Rider Waite Tarot card is crashing the party lately. It means to be firm or forceful, to win or accomplish. So it is living up to its meaning, barging in here. Illustration is a hand with a board in it, which reminds me of a saying my old daddy used to repeat: “Some people, in order to get their attention, you have to hit them in the face with a board.”
Strength: We have already talked at length about her above. Bullies turn into pussycats when they intend to come against her because of who she is. This happens in real life if you just observe. The illustration shows a lady petting the predator lion, holding his mouth closed against the roar, and he is purring instead.
Six of Wands: The false flag, the alleged friend who is out to use you or get you or do you in some way, small or large. Sneaky, snarky, mooch who is gonna embezzle or get his cut behind your back. Yes, the kind of person you watch, which is what the next card after it means, the Hermit. Illustration is of a fella whose horse doesn’t trust him.
Hermit: Here is the monk dedicated to helping travelers who are lost or in distress. He goes out looking for them even at night. He is the kind helpful supportive friend. The phrases he means today are: understand, honest, know, being devoted to, patient and sincere, watch, investigate, patient, being wise to, helps and the help of a friend, advises.
Now that that’s over, there’s going to be a new life of freedom
Fool
Two of Swords, Three of Wands, Judgment
Assumes it’s not going to be happening again.
Is not going to be coming back, has gone on.
Is not going to be there for the repeat performance that’s upcoming.
Ignoring the big announcement that that’s not going to be happening.
Assume I will never be going back there again.
Am not going to be surprised because I won’t be there.
He/she is not coming – has broken free.
No future with him/her, he/she is starting some new life.
Now that that’s over, there’s going to be a new life of freedom.
Doesn’t know he/she/it isn’t going to recover.
Said he/she is not going to be there/here.
Tells you there’s no way you are going to be free.
Is not ever going to listen to what you say/is said.
Do not disregard continual alarms.
Always going to be no warnings, so you may as well not even listen.
Am not going to repeat it, will be acting as if I never said it.
Will keep repeating until the very end, as long as long as (Person) isn’t paying any attention.
When it is over you don’t go back, just forget about it and enjoy the new phase of life that is coming.
No way to keep ignoring the news.
When it’s over, you are going to be really happy again.
Can’t forget, so you are going back.
When it’s over, you will be free for a whole new life.
It’s going to be over again before you know it.
Not going to let that go on – will be free as a bird again.
You can’t just forget it, reminders keep coming to you.
The only definitive card – as far as a story or action here – is Judgment, and it isn’t much of one. Its main meanings are something happening again, a return, a new life, a recovery, an announcement, news, an alarm.
We begin with a negating card, the Two of Swords, that in Rider Waite means ‘no way’ primarily. (Negating cards create variety in the kind of spread that we have here, the kind that cards can be read in any order and are not assigned a position that means something.) Then the Three of Wands means it is coming – usually a good thing is coming – so that makes it a future card and it also means continuing action or the word ‘continue.’ The last card means to be free, to ignore or disregard or not pay attention, to be oblivious or not know, to assume, to not be present. And somehow I put them together … amazing, isn’t it?
Advice suggests when it is over you don’t go back, just forget about it and enjoy the new phase of life that is coming.
Meanings and Illustrations:
Two of Swords: We begin with a negating card, the Two of Swords, that in Rider Waite means ‘no way’ primarily. You can’t. The end: in the end, when it ends, etc. The illustration shows a blindfolded woman who has two heavy swords in crossed arms, seated on a stone bench at the very edge of what looks to be a seawall, and there are rocks in the sea.
Three of Wands: This is a simple and limited card. It means it’s coming – profit or something good, usually. Continuing future tense – it is one of the future cards. Often means the word ‘continue.’ Its illustration in Rider Waite is a merchant standing watching the ships come in that bear his merchandise and/or his profit.
Judgment: Today its meanings are: ‘again,’ to do or to occur again, to come back, a repeat performance, an announcement, surprise, to break into a new phase, new life, recover, to say or announce, alarm or warning, repeat, reminder, news, again, a whole new life. The illustration shows a resurrection, folks newly released from their coffins for a new life.
Fool: This is one of the flexible cards. Not paying attention is a main function of Fool: assumes, ignoring, doesn’t know, not listen, disregard, just forget about it, not let on. Being happy and free are also key to Fool. Not present, not going to be there. And then there are what I call the ‘water off a duck’s back’ or the ‘shrug’ meanings such as ‘may as well,’ and ‘as if I had never’ and ‘not let on that.’
The illustration shows a fellow prancing off a cliff, happy as a clam, oblivious. The person epitomizes the slogan ‘Ignorance is bliss.’
