GUIDANCE The struggle to be happy can overwhelm us to the point of depression, you know? Suggestion is to find joy in the journey to freedom from whatever those depressing restrictions are. Smell the roses on the way, as they say. Throw the cargo of childhood overboard and enjoy the relief as you delay taking on making someone else’s childhood. Relief is a joy in itself. We even suggest enjoying your own, or someone else’s handsome muscles. Being full of yourself leaves no room for the sunshine to brighten you up.

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.

Sun – Ten of Wands – Knight of Pentacles

………………….…………………… We have both happiness (Sun) and depression (Ten of Wands), and being mindful (Knight of Pentacles) in our spread here. Sun is also childhood, children, being young, fun and freedom – which enriches our spread (‘an embarrassment of riches’ as they say). Our story is that we wedge ourselves into fixes we long to get out of, so the struggle to be free and happy requires a lot of thought. There’s a subtle underlying theme to enjoy the hard journey that *foretaste of freedom* inspires us to set out on. Why not have a side order of fun along with the struggle, we ask.
………………………….. Sun‘s illustration lets loose quite a few meanings, applies to quite a few situations. Sun’s basic meaning is being free of restrictions, feeling the relief and the joy of that – vacation time, par-tay! You see the kid on the pony with the flag, arms akimbo in the sunshine. Naturally Sun means childish behavior, playing hooky. But it also means enjoying life.
So the next meaning is fun. But that meaning is complicated by the recklessness of the tyke mounted on *that pony with no sense of humor*. Besides that, today Knight of Pentacles’ contribution makes that a callous playboy. (Knight of Pentacles is your macho dude, you know.) Having fun is stretched to ‘I just wanna have my fun.’
Sun means to leave too, especially the ‘getting out from under’ kind of leaving. It can say ‘I’m outta here.’ It is leaving home (including pulling out of the driveway, especially with Chariot).
Next we have ‘cutting loose,’ ‘letting your hair down,’ being spontaneous, being uninhibited, the opposite of ‘being hung up.’ This meaning goes along with enjoying life.
Since Sun shows the little tyke, it is one of the children cards, often a boy-child. It can tell you the baby is going to be a boy, for instance. So it brings up childhood, having children, behavior of children – anything along that line. Since it means both childhood and getting free, you find it coming up as getting free of childhood. Today Ten of Wands makes that the cargo of one’s childhood as a burden, since Sun is getting free of it.
………………………….. Ten of Wands shows a backbreaking task underway. It is also about being down, being worn out, depressed, overwhelmed, overloaded with too many tasks. Remember: Ten of Wands is gonna make it. He is taking on doing it all in one load, or taking on some heavy responsibility (especially with a card that means responsibility, like Chariot). Ten of Wands is slow steady progress so it is an encouraging card in spite of its discouraging vibe.
So right after all that cheer and freedom from Sun, comes the depressing grind Ten of Wands has taken upon himself. Sun is free and having the time of his life; Ten of Wands is overwhelmed and overloaded, multitasking and staying up nights. But Sun is expected to crash, and Ten of Wands is the turtle who won the race with the rabbit by sticking to the course.
………………………….. Knight of Pentacles can be the stereotype tough guy, often a short darker fellow like you see in the illustration. Often the person this Rider Waite Tarot card represents has muscles. Even the horse is a sturdy-bodied individual.
Knight of Pentacles’ main meaning is concentration, thinking, viewing or looking (or staring at) – even obsession. Knight of Pentacles has one thing on his mind, has one priority, one thing that’s most important. This is his main focus, and ‘focus’ is one of his words. Knight of Pentacles is one pig-headed fellow, stubborn, often. He is not famous for insight, of course. He can be a punk or a thug too. This Tarot card often translates ‘focus’ and ‘the most important thing’ or priority. It can mean ‘the only’ too, as in: the only thing, the only way, etc. He has his dark side which, say, Seven of Swords can bring out. Still remember Miami Vice re-runs? – he is Don Johnson. In a romance question, he can be the guy who thinks only of his one love interest.
Just because something is depressing is no reason to be depressed. We talk about very deliberately turning your attention from whatever is burdensome and tiresome, to any old fun you can find. Cut loose, get out in the sunshine, let your hair down in some uninhibited scene of your choice, and have ‘me time.’

Sun ……… Make sure you read Observing’s Sun entry; it’s all laid out in detail there. You look at the illustration of the kid on the wicked pony, having a field day until his naked butt is tossed. You figure, correctly, that this is about having fun, enjoying life in the sunshine, being a kid or acting like one, being reckless, getting out of the house for some recreation, and leaving. Being free of restrictions (like a vacation, playing hooky, a night on the town) is the nut of Sun’s spectrum of meanings. Other cards can turn that ‘reckless’ meaning ominous, but it isn’t there all by itself.
.
Ten of Wands …………. Ten of Wandsshows a backbreaking task underway. It is also about being down, being worn out, depressed, overwhelmed, overloaded with too many tasks. Remember: Ten of Wands is gonna make it. He is taking on doing it all in one load, or taking on some heavy responsibility (especially with a card that means responsibility, like Chariot). Ten of Wands is slow steady progress so it is an encouraging card in spite of its discouraging vibe.
.
Knight of Pentacles ………… Knight of Pentacles has one thing on his mind, has one priority, one thing that’s most important. This is his main focus, and ‘focus’ is one of his words. He can be a muscle-man, can be a tough guy, can be obsessed/obsessive. He has his dark side which, say, Seven of Swords can bring out. Still remember Miami Vice re-runs? – he is Don Johnson. In a romance question, he can be the guy who thinks only of his one love interest.
