Tarot Verbatim
GUIDANCE Respectability and decency are opposite forces too often. Your spiritual victory is too often over officially sanctioned righteousness. “A clean nose,” my old daddy used to muse, “indicates filth higher up.” Happy marriage is sometimes due to a controlling partner’s domination. Making peace among all parties means letting everyone be right, soothing the opposition. On the other hand, “We who overcome our demons are entitled to our happiness.”

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.

………… An in-depth view of the rift between being respectable and being decent. ‘Behaving’ might be the title of our chapter today. All three cards are about behaving. Strength has a double meaning. On the one hand, Strength is overcoming internal and external demons, including addictions, and overcoming opposition and obstacles. On the other hand, Strength can be controlling (in a bad sense). Ten of Cups and Justice are both the upright respectable forces – the good citizens, the enforcement of righteousness. We have a ringside seat on this clash today. Marriage is featured too. Come see.
………………
………….. Strength overcomes opposition, both internal and external. Strength prevents harm, reforms the behavior of potential abusers, stifles opposition, is the strong … or the controlling … woman. Strength is getting the upper hand, and handling the difficulty. You see a lady in a white robe with a sash of flowers and a halo of the eternity sigh: Spirituality. So Strength describes spiritual victory. The vanquished enemy is rendered harmless and purrs instead of roars as she closes his fanged snout with her bare hands.
………………
………….. Ten of Cups is marriage and the couple, harmony, all the good people, the good neighborhood, happiness, the ‘American Dream’ of the marital home in the suburb with a boy and a girl. Ten of Cups is, say, world peace (cessation of hostilities) as opposed to, say, everyone being at peace with everyone.
……………..
…………… Justice is the law (in all its ramifications), being straight, being right, balance, the status quo, and ‘should.’ It joins in an enforcement theme if there is one. You see Mr. Personified Justice in a red robe with the scales (law) in one hand and the upraised sword, flat side toward you (enforcement) in the other hand. It means ‘entitled’ and ‘right’ too, of course.
………..
…………..
Strength and Ten of Cups Strength is famous for overcoming addictions, so Ten of Cups can just contribute ‘we’ for We overcome our addictions,’ OR you can read Ten of Cups for another of its meanings and say, for these two Tarot cards ‘We who overcome overcome our addictions are happy.’ Strength and Ten of Cups describe struggling just to be normal too, because Ten of Cups is the normal people, and Strength is a struggle. It’s a struggle to be happy, too, since Ten of Cups translates ‘happy.’ So, can you see ‘We who overcome our demons’ as well?
..
Strength is a spiritual victory, so Strength and Ten of Cups is happiness as a result of spiritual victory.
..
Strength is solving a problem, so Ten of Cups can just say ‘our,’ and we have ‘The solution to our problem for these two Tarot cards.
..
Now we have the family (Ten of Cups) keeping something quiet (Strength), which might be about the skeleton in the family closet.
..
Nothing interferes (Strength) with: our marriage; family; us being happy. Not letting family interfere with marriage. Strength is not letting anything interfere, of course: Just look at her! These two cards are the challenges (Strength) of being married too. Since Ten of Cups is ‘happy’ as well as marriage, it’s not letting anything interfere with your happiness. Now switch to Strength being the controlling woman and: They make you be happy with them.
..
Strength is a put-down, is correcting, and is preventing. So, put-downs of good citizens, or good people putting (whoever) down; everybody is happy that (whatever) was prevented.
..
Strength also gets someone to do something by her influence, so ‘She has that touch that gets us to.’
………..
…………..
. Strength and Justice At first glance, you see ‘being made to do what is right.’ I struggle (Strength) to be normal (Justice). A lawsuit (Justice) to prevent an abuse (Strength). Litigation (Justice) has been prevented (Strength). Using my influence (Strength) to straighten things out (Justice). (Both these cards can be about straightening things out. Strength also means ‘stifle,’ so you get ‘Stifling opposition to keep the status quo,’ because Justice is the status quo as well. Ten of Cups is the status quo too.
…………
……………
Ten of Cups and Justice Always remember these two say ‘legal marriage.’ Both these cards mean ‘normal, with Ten of Cups specifically meaning normal people or other living things. They are both the status quo, as I said up there a bit. Using two meanings of Ten of Cups, you read ‘happy legal marriage’ as well as legal marriage. Then we have everybody being the way they should be, upright families, everybody doing or being as they should.
..
Ten of Cups and Justice are a law firm because Ten of Cups is any group of okay people. These two Tarot cards are also a class action suit because, once again, Ten of Cups is a group of people and Justice is litigation.
I bet you can remember a situation in which being right made you look bad, or even carried a penalty. Heck, people have gone to prison, or been killed, for doing the decent thing. Taking a good look at the dichotomy (split) between decency and righteousness is what we are doing now. We talk about inducing or getting people to do right by one another. We talk about coercion to be ‘happy’ with a marital partner.

Strength……… Strength is the spiritual victory over a vice or opponent of any sort. It is about overcoming without a clash, quashing opposition in the bud, disarming the beast, setting the situation straight, inducing the miscreant to behave, and overcoming your own weakness or vice. You see a woman in a white robe holding the lion’s mouth shut. She has an eternity-sign halo and wears a garland of flowers as a sash.
.

Ten of Cups …………. Ten of Cups is marriage, happy people, family, community, a good neighborhood, a group of people, a happy home, house, everybody, the comfortable suburban life. It is one of the cards that suggests people with money are good people. You see the dream home, the embracing couple with their good children.
.

Justice ………. Justice is the shouldness of it all – sane, normal, balanced situation or person. Of course it means litigation and anything law. Next to Ten of Cups, you have the law-abiding good citizens. Justice means commitment in a relationship question.

Four Card Spreads, Our Daily Spread, Tarot Verbatim
The question for this weekend is: How pleased will you be with your life for the next 6 months?

Dealing mentally with your own fears enables you to deal with scary people
Strength
Ten of Cups, Queen of Cups, Page of Swords
Make yourself see that, despite all the reasons you know of to be fearful, everyone is doing well.
Everybody is as happy and prosperous as they think they are, and they are able to solve whatever problem threatens their good life together.
A mentality of already having a good life is a defense to whatever would get in the way of that good life.
Dealing mentally with your own fears enables you to deal with scary people.
It’s an exciting time for everybody as they realize they are overcomers.
We are all overcoming whatever we thought were threats to having a good life now.
You make yourself happy by overcoming in your own head whatever opposes your having a good life.
Adjust your own ideas of what a good life is for you and yours, and defend that turf.
You and your people are enjoying good times and you know to calm yourself when things get to you.
Once the mouthy teenager is quieted, everyone understands how happy we all really are.
You know your people well enough to make everyone happy by not letting them get on one another’s nerves.
She knows her people well enough to make everyone happy by not letting them get on one another’s nerves.
You prevent discord and make the people around you happy by knowing how to calm down the difficult, oppositional people.
She prevents discord and makes the people around her happy by knowing how to calm down the difficult, oppositional people.
You and your friends and family have a group mentality that keeps you from getting on one another’s nerves and keeps you happy together.
When you deal firmly with that annoying person, you will understand that everyone was really getting along together.
The gist of this description of how pleased you will be with the next six months is that the good life is here already; it is a matter of defining it and defending it against spoilers from the outside. It is also a matter of adjusting your inside thinking to automatically overcome whatever is in the way there. This sounds like gratitude and the law of attraction. It also sounds like Buddha’s slogan that one of the ways to have everything you want is to want only what you already have.
We have asked how pleased with life, and we begin with the Ten of Cups, which means ‘happily ever after.’ This is associated with mentality or thinking, the Queen of Cups, the thinker, who is also a peacemaker sort of gal. Next come the teenage attitude that desecrates domestic peace, the spoiler, closely followed by that element being shut up, overcome, dealt with firmly, by Strength. So our story is fairly obvious. It’s an allegory (vocabulary word alert: a story that illustrates a point) about how mama is the sweet peacemaker of the family; she keeps it happy by not letting the mouthy kid make all that noise. Deal with your life that way.
Queen of Cups and Strength are female cards by the illustrations, but the Queen becomes ‘mentality’ and her thoughts become ‘your’ thoughts because these messages are for a group and ‘she’ excludes the male gender but ‘he’ doesn’t.
Meanings and Illustrations:
Ten of Cups: One big happy prosperous family, a happy outcome, a happily-ever-after marriage and home life. The rainbow over the house, the girl and boy child dancing and parents with arms to the sky, ta-da, displaying their rainbow … where’s the dog? We need that little frisky white dog of the Fool here. Hope he didn’t really fall off that cliff.
Queen of Cups: Here is the nice lady wife of the happily-ever-after family, dreamily contemplating her oversized doo-dad. She is thinking of her man, understanding her man.
Page of Swords: This is a teenager, I say!, in the otherwise happy family. He is defensive and aggressive, standing there with his sword in both hands waving it around at … nothing. There’s nothing within a mile of him and yet he is in hell-raising mode.
Strength: Interesting how she comes right after the one who needs to be soothed and stymied. Strength makes peace, with an accent on the ‘makes.’ She is the over-comer, she has such character no one crosses her but she is non-combative. She has tamed her own beast, and can tame
