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.

 

Queen of Swords

Queen of Wands – Ten of Cups – Temperance

 

 

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

.

Our story is about family relationships with women – Queen of Wands and Queen of Swords, to be exact. Queen of Wands is no-nonsense, and that is one of Queen of Swords’ several types.

Queen of Wands is the main Wife card, is associated with a house, is a competent practical person and a manager. A woman with character.

Queen of Swords is the assertive demanding strong woman who expects and isn’t getting. Queen of Swords also represents the bitch, the nag and/or the whiny one, is associated with being the Ex, the mother-in-law or (demanding) mother – the Mama Bat sometimes. She can also have high standards and expect others to meet them. She is the widow card, and can have a child who died. Queen of Swords is a victim sometimes, and sometimes the martyr type who plays victim. Queen of Swords is the one female card in Tarot Verbatim (and in Rider Waite, pretty much) with negative tones to it, so it catches your attention in a spread. If a person in the story is a bitch, this is her card – or a whining complaining nagging type.

Ten of Cups and Temperance are the other two cards at our Tarot table. Ten of Cups is the good marriage, spouse, good people, good neighborhood, happy and prosperous folks – the circle of people. It is one of the cards that means ‘people’ or ‘public.’

Temperance is intimacy, getting along, dealing amicably back and forth (reciprocal relationship), close relationship, partner, and there’s a feeling of balance to Temperance. The illustration’s back-and-forth flow brings all this out.

 

Now here are the phrases made by each of the combinations of cards in this spread:

Queen of Wands and Ten of Cups: happy married to her; lived happily ever after with her as my wife; his wife in a happy marriage; wife’s house; a happily married woman; Wife feels their home is her house; married into the family; married with children

Queen of Wands and Temperance: she is/has an intimate companion; married the woman I was in a close relationship with; jointly with/as his wife; his wife deals with; being his wife means a close relationship with

Queen of Wands and Queen of Swords: wife’s mother; mother-in-law; a strong woman as his wife; my wife and my (bitchy) Ex; expects to be a/his wife; the bitch wife; the wife’s __ with his mama; mother and daughter-in-law; the widow and the woman who married

Ten of Cups and Temperance: in a happy marriage, you are close to one another; being close to everyone; a balance in family relations; close to their family; close family; close circle or group of people; jointly own the house; happily married in a close relationship; their home; one big close family; the whole family gets along together

Ten of Cups and Queen of Swords: she expects nothing less from the whole family; happy with a strong woman as his wife; she expects a happy prosperous marriage to come of this; she is happy in her marriage because she is demanding; she nags the family; she is demanding of everyone; she is the crank of the group; close relationship with his mama; lives in the same house with (his) cranky mama

Temperance and Queen of Swords: she is/has an intimate companion; she expects intimacy; close even when she is a bitch; a strong woman as his life partner; the bitch I am in a close relationship with; she expects the relationship they are in; deals with his Ex; close with mother-in-law

 

LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES

.

Queen of Wands Here’s is the competent no-nonsense practical and pragmatic woman. She is the manager at home and at work. Her kids mind; she is boss of the orderly organized home front. Martha Stewart, not Gloria Steinham. She carries a big stick in one hand and a sunflower in the other. She sits up straight, and her expression is the alert one you associate with mothers of young kids.

 

Ten of Cups We are all one big happy family here – everyone getting along. Good marriage, good family, good neighborhood, the good people, community, everyone. Happily ever after and keeping them happy. Ten of Cups can translate ‘people’ and ‘the public’ too – as in ‘the voters,’ if that is in the question the spread is about. The picture of the skipping kids, embracing couple, rainbow over the roof says it all.

 

Temperance The meanings this card expresses come from the back-and-forth flow the angel is pouring. The card should mean dilution, because he is diluting wine with water; it seldom does. It means ‘reciprocal.’ It means dealing with; it means intimacy and ‘close relationship.’ It means partner, intimate partner, and associate too.

 

Queen of Swords Here’s the angry irritated edgy woman. She is in the same mood King of Wands has. The more positive meanings for Queen of Swords are: The strong woman, the old or older woman, the assertive woman, the woman of character. She has high standards, and is holding others up to them. She can be a widow or other victim. She is not getting what she expects and deserves (or thinks she deserves, in some cases). Then, she can be the angry, bitter, complaining, nagging, whining, demanding martyr type we associate with the Ex, the mother-in-law, the bitch, the mama of the mama’s-boy. The child engraved into her throne indicates a child of hers who died.

Tarot Readings for You for September 18, 2013 Wednesday(c)

Guidance     We are putting a flashlight on the underside or the backside of problems: How people can get together over any grievance, any nasty ugly thing and enjoy the success of managing it; and conversely how the perfect storybook family or community could be made up of petty controlling hateful folks. The perfect wife and mother who makes everyone happy may hate her life. To some, even a perfect marriage is a problem. The worst people have the money.

Devil
Ace of Pentacles, Queen of Wands, Ten of Cups

 


 

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

 

Remember the ‘spoiler card’ we used to talk about? Well, nirvana was going on here until I drew the last card … the pluperfect spoilsport, the Devil. Devil is an ambiguous card, meaning it has a lot of different meanings. Not all of them are terrible, or even bad. It can mean something is attached to a document, for example, or simply mean ‘physical’ or sex, or describe something as ugly or dirty. It often says ‘the problem.’ But it can also mean addiction, obstacle, toxic, polluted, corrupt, rotting or just about anything nasty, awful, malignant or diseased.

 

 

You could say today’s spread turns the table on Devil, and is its spoiler. Devil cannot do much harm here. Today it creates an intriguing thought: the uses we make of problems.

 

 

A spread that just at a glance means the perfect wife in a perfect marriage or a perfect house for the wife and family:

 

*Ace of Pentacles is perfect, the best, the right whatever.
*Queen of Wands is the sensible woman, manager, wife and/or mother, who is competent at almost anything and who is in charge of her house.

 

*Ten of Cups is happily ever after, the prosperous happy family, the house in a good neighborhood … except when the Devil shows up to modify it.

 

 

Queen of Wands and Ten of Cups are about houses and/or homes. Queen of Wands is indoors, and that card sometimes means that word. It means ‘to be home’ or ‘at home’ sometimes. She is a competent successful woman, and Ten of Cups are the good, well-adjusted citizens (hence successful).

 

 

 

LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES

.


Ace of Pentacles is right, best, perfect, the right course or path, money (as in money in hand), perfect, possesses, success or successful as well as things like ‘set straight,’ and ‘things are fine.’

 

The illustration that neatly brings these meanings together shows the proverbial straight and narrow path with proverbial white lilies in front and the garland gate of roses at the end of the path, and a hand with a lot of gold in it poised above.

 

 

Queen of Wands is the woman in charge, the manager, the wife and mother who has house rules, the competent woman, the solid citizen, a no-nonsense plainspoken woman who is connected, often, to a house and home. She has her own home-place. The picture shows exactly that: There she is with the flower in one hand and the board in the other, sitting upright with that alert look on her face.

 

 


Ten of Cups is also about a house as well as a marriage: a good house and a happy marriage, to be precise. Ace of Pentacles makes it a perfect house. It is about a community or neighborhood, a group of people who get together, about ‘happy’ and ‘people’ and ‘the public.’

 

Its is another maudlin illustration: The couple embracing and with arms in air, with two kids, rainbow over their golf-community estate … but no dog! Where’s the dog? They must not be Americans! I guess not, there’s no flag either …

 

 

Devil’s spectrum is wide. Here are the words and phrases it has made today:
problems
rude
disagreeable
sex
grievance, biggest
eyesore
difficult
guilty
wrong
hates being
disability
nasty to
dysfunctional or perverted
bad
mistake
worst people.

Tarot Readings for You for August 15, 2013 Thursday(c)

Guidance    is all about how the dirtiest politicians and corporate toxic manipulators are the cleanest talkers.  It’s hard to bring this down, with these particular cards, to the kind of equivalent evil folks we know in ‘real life’ – to the blowhard relative, the sleazy car repair dude.  Nope, this is about corporate and political nasties.  ‘You are an acceptable person when daddy and the family are crazy’ is the closest we come to a mundane (daily life) scene here.

Moon

King of Pentacles – Page of Wands – Ten of Cups

 

 

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

.

King of Pentacles and Moon are the problem.  You don’t want to see these two together in Tarot Verbatim™ or Rider Waite or in real life.   King of Pentacles in Rider Waite is the evil manipulator, the controlling gangster type, the studmuffin, the politician or corporate dictator.

 

 

Moon is anything hideous, and it instructs to interpret nearby cards in the negative, or in the worst way.   In fact, it means ‘worst.’   So we have the devious manipulator to the nth degree as two out of four cards in our spread.

 

 

The other two cards take the spread away from any working out or solving of the situation.  They are instead a contrast.  Ten of Cups is the happily-ever-after good family, good people, good neighborhood card, and it also means ‘the people,’ which picks up that political theme.

 

 

Page of Wands is a smooth talker, spokesperson, the good-looking fella, and about having a good reputation or image.   Put that with King of Pentacles, the manipulative political type, and Moon ‘to the worst degree’ and lying, and it boils down to the glib tongued malicious manipulator.

 

 

 

LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES

.

 

King of Pentacles is the Studmuffin, the Mover and Shaker, the politician, celebrity or influential man and the rich manipulative flamboyant VIP or wannabe.  His drawing is so full-of-himself.   The design of his clothes suggests the Italianesque look newly rich folks sometimes affect in their home décor.

 

 

Page of Wands is the opposite end of that spectrum.  He is the young earnest well-dressed well-spoken stand-up guy … the one we always think we have dated or married in the beginning.  He has the tennis pro look, the ‘fair-haired boy’ type … the way we saw Kennedy back then.

 

 

Ten of Cups If Page of Wands is Kennedyesque, Ten of Cups would be Camelot.  It’s the America the politicians talk as if.  It’s ‘of good family’ and the good people, the good neighborhood … you know, like it shows, the big house on the big land with the two kids and the rainbow even over the house.

 

 

Moon Rider Waite’s Moon, and thus Tarot Verbatim’s™, is everything gone wrong, evil (road to hell, Left Hand Path), corrupt, perverted, dirty, wrong, nightmare, Evil Incarnate.  The illustration, first of all shows some towers that mean those things.  It also shows nature gone awry: Lobster is purple and going on a land journey; dog and coyote, natural enemies, are together.  Ace of Pentacles is the Right Hand Path and Moon is the Left Hand Path – the straight and narrow, and the road to hell.  Moon is maximum fuckedupness of anything the rest of the cards are talking about. It means insanity and sickness.  But put all the right cards around it, and it can be about the Muse, inspiration, psychism and dreams.

 

 

EXPLANATIONS: [Use the arrow at lower right to skip this and go to Comments.]

 

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(TM).

 

In these group readings, there’s no question (and no Questioner) to limit what the four cards can mean, so they can mean opposite things.

 

When there is a negative-meaning card (a ‘negator,’ I call them), the readings contradict one another because that card can make any of the other cards in the spread negative. Negator cards mean things like: no, never, not, end, can’t, etc. Never be queasy about the number of ‘bad’ card because it takes two bad cards to say ‘not dead’ and only one to say ‘dead.’

 

Without a question or a Questioner, pronouns (I, you, he, she, we, they, etc.) are very flexible. I leave out pronouns in writing this as much as possible – awkward to do that sometimes. When I put them in parentheses, feel very free to change them around to suit yourself.

 

Now in a ‘real’ individual reading, the questioner asks a specific question which provides at least half the information! In an individual’s reading, the parties are identified and sometimes a time frame is too. Here, in a group reading, we cannot do that and so we get more variety of sentences.

 


Horoscopes are group readings, too. Astrology is based on someone else’s birth data, though, so a ‘solar’ group horoscope never really solidly applies to you! (Astrologers want you to know this!)

 

Tarot successfully addresses the group of visitors, whoever they are. It provides useful information that applies to their daily lives: They tell you this in the comments, for three years now. Tarot can tell you things about people you don’t know personally – such as whoever on your job has a say in your raise or continued employment there, whether that is one person or many. Visitors report that the information is equally accurate for new visitors as it is for the family of regular visitors.

 

Do you want to read Rider Waite Tarot, yourself? Start with Learn Tarot by Pictures to get the day’s cards’ individual meanings; then read Learn Tarot by Observation, which gives you the thinking those four cards inspire in a qualified reader. Next, Group Analytical Tarot Cards Reading is the various things those four cards can say (without a question to guide them). Then, Guidance is a summary.

 

In this way, your intuition allows you to learn to read the cards without much effort if you come often enough. Regular visitors can just put it together.

We have the sneaky underhanded male on conquest. And we have the dame who knows how to use those good looks to get the advantage of the dude as well. They are well matched.

Queen of Cups

Empress – Six of Wands – Ace of Swords

 

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

.

This whole story is about women because two of the four Tarot citizens at our Rider Waite table today are women.

 

Empress is the sexpot, the babe, the princess, the spoiled woman, the beautiful woman, and can be the loose woman as well as the ideal woman. The seeming contradictions are explained by the fertility goddess this Rider Waite Tarot card reflects, who of course is all of these, and potentially pregnant too.

 

Queen of Cups is the good wife who thinks of her man, admires her man. She dreams and she thinks – the stereotypical emotional woman who runs on feelings and is ‘good.’ Naive, even.

 

So we have these two archetypes of femininity here. And wouldn’t you know here comes a fella ‘on the make,’ a guy with an agenda to get his way with the situation? Six of Wands is about betrayal and using another person, so it is suited to seduction in the Rider Waite Tarot Verbatim ™ system. Six of Wands can also be the indicator of Empress being ‘on the make’ or even attach itself to Queen of Cups.

 

And the other card is Ace of Swords: to control, to dominate, to force, to win. It also translates ‘have to’ and ‘must.’

 

Our story today is the eternal man-woman saga, par excellence.

 

LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES

 

Empress is the sexpot, the babe, the princess, the spoiled woman, the beautiful woman, and can be the loose woman as well as the ideal woman. The seeming contradictions are explained by the fertility goddess this Rider Waite Tarot card reflects, who of course is all of these. Her illustration shows her sitting upon a fine cushion outdoors where everything is growing, wearing a bejeweled tiara, and having a heart-shaped shield with the female symbol upon it. Tradition says she is pregnant. (We are not mentioning meanings that do not apply today: Empress is a multifaceted entity.)

 

Six of Wands is the deceit and agenda Tarot card in Rider Waite and Tarot Verbatim ™. It is one of the cards the Middle Ages added, and it reflects the story of the betrayal of King Richard Third of England to the Arabs, who imprisoned him at the behest of the usurper to the throne. This is the Pyrrhic victory, the victory that seals a later defeat. This is your friend who seduces the person you love. This is your spouse who doesn’t make the mortgage payments until the house is repossessed and gets the money for the expensive lawyer to beat you in the divorce that way. Et cetera. The look on the face of the horse in the illustration tells all.

 

Ace of Swords is so straightforward. Here’s a hand holding aloft a sword that has a crown with laurel leaves (victory) on it. It means absolutely, it means ‘all one way’ and none the other way. It means you gotta, must, forced, an order, to dominate. It represents a clear victory for one side and a clear defeat for the other

 

Queen of Cups is The True Believer. She has faith in (her man). She believes in (her man). She is emotional, she dreams – not an analytical sort. Her stereotype is the southern young woman (in the U. S. Bible Belt). She is pictured contemplating a funky antique, water (emotions) surrounding her throne. Sculpture of babies are on her throne, and there is no vegetation whatsoever, just rocks and water.

 

EXPLANATIONS: [Use the arrow at lower right to skip this and go to Comments.]

 

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(TM).

 

In these group readings, there’s no question (and no Questioner) to limit what the four cards can mean, so they can mean opposite things.

 

When there is a negative-meaning card (a ‘negator,’ I call them), the readings contradict one another because that card can make any of the other cards in the spread negative. Negator cards mean things like: no, never, not, end, can’t, etc. Never be queasy about the number of ‘bad’ card because it takes two bad cards to say ‘not dead’ and only one to say ‘dead.’

 

Without a question or a Questioner, pronouns (I, you, he, she, we, they, etc.) are very flexible. I leave out pronouns in writing this as much as possible – awkward to do that sometimes. When I put them in parentheses, feel very free to change them around to suit yourself.

 

Now in a ‘real’ individual reading, the questioner asks a specific question which provides at least half the information! In an individual’s reading, the parties are identified and sometimes a time frame is too. Here, in a group reading, we cannot do that and so we get more variety of sentences.


Horoscopes are group readings, too. Astrology is based on someone else’s birth data, though, so a ‘solar’ group horoscope never really solidly applies to you! (Astrologers want you to know this!)

 

Tarot successfully addresses the group of visitors, whoever they are. It provides useful information that applies to their daily lives: They tell you this in the comments, for three years now. Tarot can tell you things about people you don’t know personally – such as whoever on your job has a say in your raise or continued employment there, whether that is one person or many. Visitors report that the information is equally accurate for new visitors as it is for the family of regular visitors.

 

Do you want to read Rider Waite Tarot, yourself? Start with Learn Tarot by Pictures to get the day’s cards’ individual meanings; then read Learn Tarot by Observation, which gives you the thinking those four cards inspire in a qualified reader. Next, Group Analytical Tarot Cards Reading is the various things those four cards can say (without a question to guide them). Then, Guidance is a summary.

 

In this way, your intuition allows you to learn to read the cards without much effort if you come often enough. Regular visitors can just put it together

Tarot Readings for You for April 22, 2013 Monday(c)

Today we are laying down the law. We are giving the people in our circle or family orders, as the boss. We are making people into a successful team whether they like it or not. We are taking responsibility for our own happiness, making that a first-priority change.

Ten of Cups

Ace of Swords – Chariot – Judgment

3 Tarot Readings: You Are in Charge, Tell Everyone (Chariot and Judgment)

Tell everybody they have to be responsible.

You have to remind family to be responsible.

Tell (them) ‘You’ve got to be responsible for your own happiness.’

(You are) the one in charge, tell everyone what they have to do.

I have a new strategy that I rule the family: So there!

What I say, goes, people: That’s an order from the project manager.

I am telling these folks I’m in charge here, and they have to be winners.

He gives us all verbal orders.

Another challenge to my leadership from rank-and-file members.

 

Tarot Readings: Taking Responsibility for My Own Happiness (Chariot and Ten of Cups)

Decides to go back and make a happy committed relationship.

I’m back in the saddle again, and making my own good life.

Have to take responsibility for my own happiness again.

I am the one who recovered, and now I am one of those well-adjusted people who are in the driver’s seat.

Having a happy relationship together comes first, speaking for myself and my decisions.

I made up my mind, since I’m one of those people who has got to be happy, to change.

You do what you have to to get back to normal.

I am going to make one more happy occasion, it’s my job.

This is what I call home now, and that’s my final decision.

Suddenly our relationship is marriage-like, and I’ve got to handle that.

 

Miscellaneous Tarot Readings

His promotion to project manager is a win for the whole family.

People who are at a higher level have skills that put them in control.

You are now one of those people who has achieved that supreme skill.

The people decide as a community to make these changes.

A family member recovers and is normal because you did what you had to.

Hey, change that ambition about you having to make everybody happy.

Ace of Swords Here’s a big hand wielding a long-blade sword which is crowned, and the crown is crowned with laurel leaves of victory. Ace of Swords is giving orders, success, imperative, ultimatum, ruling or ruler, threat, weapon, challenge, force, and often means must or have to.

 

Chariot Chariot is a Marine, the one who takes charge, gets the job done on time by any means. Chariot is leadership, success, responsibility, skill, strategy, winning and winner. It’s being the driver, steering, and other vehicular topics as well.

Judgment The angel that wakes the dead on Judgment Day invokes many unrelated meanings. Today’s are a new phase, an announcement, change, a new level of anything (from a promotion to a new consciousness), again, to go back, and recovery or rejuvenation. We also use the ‘say’ or verbal meaning.

Ten of Cups is happiness, getting along, a happy bunch of people or family, good times, togetherness and cooperation.

 

 

Well, you look at this spread and say ‘Glad Ten of Cups is here.’ Ten of Cups is happiness, getting along, a happy bunch of people or family, good times, togetherness and cooperation.

Ace of Swords and Chariot are both about being responsible, being the one in charge, being the leader, giving orders, success and getting the project done, winning.

Judgment is a new phase, an announcement, change, a new level of anything (from a promotion to a new consciousness), again, to go back, and recovery or rejuvenation. Ace of Swords and Judgment mean verbal orders. Chariot and Judgment are promoted to a new level of authority.

Today we are laying down the law. We are giving the people in our circle or family orders, as the boss. We are making people into a successful team whether they like it or not. We are taking responsibility for our own happiness, making that a first-priority change.

 

Tarot Readings for You for April 6, 2013 Saturday(c)

Today is another celebration of ‘All’s well,’ of people who are together on things, people who are happy and united, people who are doing all the right things. We are one big happy family, and the women of the family are right. Here’s a celebration that the judge agrees, in writing, that we are the good guys. Women’s rights are mentioned too.

Three of Cups

Eight of Wands – Justice – Ten of Cups

3 Tarot Readings: Everybody is Together, United, on This (Ten of Cups and Three of Cups)

Things are more and more the way they should be, we are all happy and having good times together.

More and more people are getting together and and getting along with one another as they should.

We are all one big happy family, happy that everything is as it should be.

We have every right to be happy in every way because we are the happy people.

Everybody is together that all these things are right.

Said the right things to unite everybody to join in.

All of us are talking about how happy we are that things are the way they should be.

The right words get people together as one.

We say all the right things so the women of the family are happy.

It’s only right that all the women of the family are happy with us.

 

Tarot Readings: The Women of the Family (Ten of Cups and Three of Cups)

The girls of this family are all sane ones.

The women of the family are right in everything they say.

Everybody says they agree on women’s rights.

Say the correct things so all the women are happy.

 

Miscellaneous Tarot Readings

The judge put it in writing that he agrees with us, that we are the good guys.

My writing makes people feel like celebrating; it is right for everybody.

We tied the knot (got legally married), and we are having parties.

This is a respectable neighborhood, all of us know one another well.

 

Same as yesterday, we have all four ‘happy’ cards. Two of them mean happy. Ten of Cups is a happy family, happy bunch of people, neighborhood, the respectable people (almost ‘the moral majority’ type thing). Three of Cups is sharing the good times, partying, and refers especially to women who get together, celebrate, party, have good times with (anyone), pool their efforts and resources or unite with one another. These two are similar cards in Rider Waite and in Tarot Verbatim(TM).

Eight of Wands is more and more, speaking, ‘all’ of something, writing or written documents (even texting). It also means quickly, but not today.

Justice means right, entitled or rights to – judges, lawyers, police and all courtroom personnel or even regulatory agencies and their people – and ‘should.’ Lots of ‘shoulds’ as a rule. Well, it means ‘rules’ too, but not today.

Today is another celebration of ‘All’s well,’ of people who are together on things, people who are happy and united, people who are doing all the right things. We are one big happy family, and the women of the family are right. Here’s a celebration that the judge agrees, in writing, that we are the good guys. Women’s rights are mentioned too.

 

Eight of Wands is more and more, speaking, ‘all’ of something, writing or written documents (even texting). It also means quickly, but not today. The illustration is not very helpful: Limbs flying in the air, making a pattern that looks like lines of text. They were released very quickly or they would not be one above another. I could think of better illustrations for the idea this Rider Waite Tarot card expresses consistently in Tarot Verbatim(TM)

Justice means right, entitled or rights to – judges, lawyers, police and all courtroom personnel or even regulatory agencies and their people – and ‘should.’ Lots of ‘shoulds’ as a rule. Well, it means ‘rules’ too, but not today. This is a beautiful card, would love to have it in stained glass. The red-robed figure has the sword of execution of the law in one hand, and the scales of justice in another. Very upright posture, huh?

Ten of Cups is a happy family, happy bunch of people, neighborhood, the respectable people (almost ‘the moral majority’ type thing). Mama and papa, with their boy and girl, all so happy together; rainbow over the house on the golf course. (Where’s the dog?) It is about people united as a group in a happy way. Neighborhood watch type thing.

Three of Cups is sharing the good times, partying, and refers especially to women who get together, celebrate, party, have good times with (anyone), pool their efforts and resources or unite with one another. The sisterhood. Three women celebrate sharing the profit of pooling their labor and money, still friends after the distribution.

Magician

Magician

Here stands the magic man, his wand raised, the math sign for eternity over his head, the suits of Tarot on his table as the tools of his trade.  So Magician is a man or male, taking the initiative, the doing of anything, the act or action.  It emphasizes acting on one’s own, as in ‘do it yourself.’

 

Ten of Cups

Ten of Cups

People who are happy together and doing well – whether a couple or family, neighborhood or just people who work for the same place or are affiliated with some party or church – are Ten of Cups.  It’s ‘the American dream’ of happily ever after:  corner lot in suburbia, a boy and a girl, a rainbow over the house … no dog, though.  Ten of Cups is about one big happy family, the group, the unanimous consensus.

 

Death

Death

The king lies dead, the bishop has the crown for the next head. One would think this card would mean ‘Out with the old, in with the new.’  Well, in Tarot Verbatim, it just doesn’t.  No explanation.  In Tarot Verbatim, it is applying a negative to the card it modifies: no, never, not, won’t doesn’t, don’t, end ….  And that’s pretty much it.  Oh yes, it is a support card if other cards bring up the idea of a literal death.

 

Three of Cups

Three of Cups

Girlfriends are out partying.  Women have pooled their money and their labor, and are sharing the profit.  All for one, and one for all, Three Musketeers.  Three of Cups is getting together to celebrate, being happy with a loved one, the good life, a night out on the town, partying.  It is also networking, especially for women who are friends.

 

 

 

Learn Tarot

Now Without The Pictures

Three of Cups and Ten of Cups pretty much have the same meanings.  The distinction is that Three of Cups is girls or women getting together, being happy, celebrating a prosperous life, and Ten of Cups is a group of people or a couple or family who is happy, together, and prosperous.  Three of Cups is a celebration, getting together and sharing proceeds, girlfriends, a night out on the town, dating, and partying.  In both of these, everybody is a happy camper, everybody is a member of the group.

The other two cards are about doing or not doing, and a person of the male gender.  Magician is a man or male, taking the initiative, the doing of anything, the act or action.  It emphasizes acting on one’s own, as in ‘do it yourself.’  Therefore, it contrasts with the two cards that speak of unison of people, Ten of Cups and Three of Cups.

Death is invariably a negative modifier in Tarot Verbatim(TM).  It provides a negative term – no, never, not, won’t, stop, can’t, etc. – for the card you are applying it to.  It also means ‘end’ and to put a stop to, or stop.  This is not the usual meaning of it in other systems.

Don’t be a loner, we are saying today.  Go with the majority, fit in, get a consensus, we are all one big happy family here, don’t you be the one to end that! Even on the dating scene, that theme applies today:  There are no girls in the guy’s clubhouse.

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

.

Two of our four Rider Waite Tarot cards are about getting together and being happy, about having a good time, about celebrating; and both of those are also about prosperity. 

 

Ten of Cups is ‘happily ever after,’ the good people, the neighborhood, being married, the family, a fine home, married with children … the American dream, we used to call it.

 

Three of Cups is the same feeling and the same whiff of prosperity, but not being family.  It is camaraderie, having a good times with friends, sharing the labor and the profit of an enterprise, girl friends (either they are all friends, or they are all a fellow’s girl friends).

 

Hierophant is about normal, ordinary levels of things.  It is about the surface fit-to-print decent appearances of anything:  the face we show our public, and the respectable version of the story the public is shown. It is the average, accepted, middle of the road (whatever).  It also means the ‘holy’ of holy matrimony when modifying a marriage card, and ‘committed’ when modifying a relationship card.

 

King of Wands is the husband, the married man, the country boy, the ordinary man, the wild or passionate man.  He is an outgoing, extroverted fellow.  Color him the classic redhead with that temper, which is delineated by the salamander in ancient times because there was this idea that salamanders emitted fire.  With all these joyous and acceptable cards around him, he isn’t being some of his rougher meanings today.

Here we are in a neighborhood bar with a country boy and his women friends.  This is a working-class neighborhood where people have much in common and know one another.  It’s an ordinary day, and everybody likes the wild man.  He can unite the neighborhood, we say.  He is married and has a family but all the gals know him and it’s a decent, respectable scene.

 

 

LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES

.

Hierophant     The pope (Hierophant means pope.)  is doing some ritual here in the illustration, and the main meaning is about the difference between what the public is to understand about these doings, and what their real import (to those in the know) is.  So Hierophant is about normal, ordinary levels of things.  It is about the surface fit-to-print decent appearances of anything:  the face we show our public, and the respectable version of the story the public is shown. It is the average, accepted, middle of the road (whatever).  It also means the ‘holy’ of holy matrimony when modifying a marriage card, and ‘committed’ when modifying a relationship card.

Ten of Cups   Here’s a couple, married with children, conforming to ‘the American dream’ with the house on the golf course, the boy-and-girl children, living happily ever after.  A rainbow over their roof.  Ten of Cups is about the good people of the community, the good neighborhood, unity, and about being family.  It also means plain old happiness, any flavor.

Three of Cups     Sharing.  Camaraderie, sharing the good time or times.  Being out on a date.  Sharing in the labor and in the profit of an enterprise, still friends after the proceeds are split.  This is about prosperity and happiness.  This is about meeting with friends.  This is about supporting one another.  This is about girlfriends.

King of Wands is the husband, the married man, the country boy, the ordinary man, the wild or passionate man.  He is an outgoing, extroverted fellow.  Color him the classic redhead with that temper, which is delineated by the salamander in ancient times because there was this idea that salamanders emitted fire.  With all these joyous and acceptable cards around him, he isn’t being some of his rougher meanings today.

 

 

EXPLANATIONS:

 

 

Each and every ‘Tarot Reading’ sentence you see is a literal interpretation of the four Rider Waite Tarot cards drawn and pictured for today. (The literal interpretation is from the illustration on each card.) These sentences are put together by only combining the phrases of what each cards says. In other words, there are NO “filler” phrases added just to make full sentences, and no psychic ability or spirit guide is ever involved.

 

*Without a question* in a group reading to focus the answer, the four Tarot cards can mean quite contradictory things, especially when the Spread has a card that means ‘no,’ ‘never’ or ‘not.’ These negative modifiers can apply to any one of the other cards.
*Without a question* in a group reading, the pronouns (you, him, her, me, us, them, they, etc.) are more flexible. Whenever you see a pronoun in parentheses, please *feel very free* to substitute another pronoun than the one used. I try to drop pronouns when possible, which, if you’ve noticed, can make for awkward phrasing.

Now in an ‘real’ individual reading, the questioner asks a specific question and thereby supplies at least half the information! In an individual situation, the parties are identified and sometimes a time frame is too. Here, in a group reading we cannot do that and so we get a variety of sentences.

Horoscopes are group readings, too. Astrology is based on someone else’s birth data, though, so a ‘solar’ group horoscope never really solidly applies to you! (Astrologers know this!)

Tarot, on the other hand, is perfectly capable of flexibly addressing any group, including all of the visitors that come to this site. It can also address people you might not even know personally, such as all the people at your job who have a say in whether or not you get a raise.

We have been wondering here lately whether the Tarot Verbatim(TM) sentences are more accurate for regular visitors than they are for people who visit this site only once in awhile or for a short time. Would you help us with a comment please, if you have not been a regular visitor? Just let us know if the sentences are relevant to you. So far, people say they do apply.

Return to this site often and you can put all this together and intuitively see yourself how Tarot Verbatim(TM) works. Regular visitors actually learn to read Rider Waite Tarot cards with very little effort.

Tarot Readings for You for February 20, 2013 Wednesday(c)

Guidance  Children and family life and romance are what we are on about today.  A woman doesn’t want to be bothered with kids.  A woman knows how to keep her kids out of her hair – they are so good they get along with everybody happily.  People feel the people they grew up with are the right kind of people, and don’t associate with those of a different mold.  People see themselves as in … or out … of the cultural family values concept.

Instructions:

Are YOU here for the first time?  Come in!  People love this place!  Our site is divided into four sections: Guidance, Tarot Readings, Learn Tarot by Observation, and Learn Tarot by Pictures.
If you just want your daily look ahead, Guidance and Tarot Readings are all you need.  ‘Guidance’ is a summary of what the cards are generally advising visitors to be aware of that day.  ‘Tarot Readings’ is the actual word for word messages the cards are conveying.  Tarot can come up with a wide variety of sentences (sometimes even completely contradictory sentences!) in a group reading as there is no specific question being asked.  So, go ahead and pick the sentences you feel are yours and decide whether to encourage or reject them for yourself.

Want even more insight and information about a specific situation in your life? Call me, Emily, at 1-800-993-6912 and talk to me personally and have yourself a live, in detail, Tarot Reading like no other you may ever have had before.

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

.

Six of Cups and Ten of Cups are sentimental posters about children and family, are married with children, are a house in an established neighborhood (a cozy cottage or quaint house for Six of Cups, often)s, are about nostalgia for happy times.  They both harken to old-fashioned well-adjusted values and times.

 

World’s concept is well-defined but applied in disparate ways.  It’s maddening that way – when you think you got it all, you find some more on the floor.  Its core meaning is that a spiritually adept or mature person repels bad influences:  Trouble doesn’t mess with him or her.  (World is considered androgynous, for you cognoscenti.)

 

Today, World’s life is not troubled by children – either because she won’t have any, or because she is such a superior female she somehow has children who are good and get along with everyone in the family.

 

That concept branches out into excluding or shutting out, not being bothered by, not putting up with, being superior in a particular skill or endeavor, not being interested in, being left out of, being sheltered from the dark side of life, viewing another as so superior he/she is unapproachable, and actually being unapproachable.  That is by no means all – just a few examples.

 

World is not interested, Page of Pentacles is interested and thinking about it.  Page of Pentacles is an ‘I’ card.  It’s who I am, my image, what I think of (anything), my view, my opinion.  And the ‘I’ can be ‘he,’ often.  It is thinking, considering, contemplating, being conscious of, consciousness itself (as opposed to the subconscious in Fool, say).  With Six of Cups, it is remembering the past, and thinking of the kind of kid I was, the kind of childhood I had.  Of course, it’s also thinking about children … say having children.

 

Children and family life and romance are what we are on about today.  A woman doesn’t want to be bothered with kids.  A woman knows how to keep her kids out of her hair – they are so good they get along with everybody happily.  People feel the people they grew up with are the right kind of people, and don’t associate with those of a different mold.  People see themselves as in … or out … of the cultural family values concept.

 

LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES

.

Six of Cups    is a sentimental poster about children, romance, childhood, the good old days, sweet memories, past romance, puppy love … nostalgia.  Little Boy gives Little Girl flowers.  They are well-dressed and live in that estate or apartment building behind them.  When it means a house, it is often a quaint or cozy one in an old (safe for children) neighborhood.

 

Ten of Cups is a sentimental poster about being good, happiness, prosperity, and family, being married with children, a house in a fine neighborhood (golf course?).  It is the good moral people; it harkens to the old-fashioned values, to well-adjusted society, to getting along with everyone.  It’s ‘the American dream’ life.  It is one of the group/organization/family cards.  Often, it means to be happy, and being marriage material in a romance.

 

World    A wreath wall separates a nude lady from unsavory-looking critters.  They look the other way.  When you have it all figured out, and you’ve been there and done that, and when you’re ready to handle trouble because it’s on your resume already … trouble isn’t looking for you. Muggers avoid someone who feels comfortable fighting them.  When you have the subconscious attitude that you aren’t going to get sick, aren’t going to have (financial, whatever) problems … you repel those influences, you usually don’t experience them.  World’s meaning also includes a person who is not interested in (whatever), who excludes or shuts something out of any consideration whatsoever.

 

Page of Pentacles    A young person holds an object before his face and studies it intently.  This is similar to Page of Wands, the apprentice who is looking for his place in society.   It’s about self-image, ‘Who am I?’ and appearance.  It is about opinion, view, concept, what someone thinks.  It means ‘thinking.’  It means to give consideration to.  It is conscious thought, as contrasted to a card like Fool or High Priestess being subconscious or spiritual thought, respectively.

Tarot Readings for You for February 15, 2013 Friday(c)

Guidance  Strife or fighting is part of family life, we suggest.  People stay together who fight, and families consider fighting members still part of the family.  We also speak of an active man or a workingman who rests up after exertion, rests up after a passionate encounter.  A person with a temper tries really hard to have a happy family life, to stay out of conflict.  Another person declares she will have a happy home life with a working man who does not fight with her.

It’s no use going all out to be one big happy family when that just annoys him.

The wild man isn’t combative any more; he is happy at home.

Staying married to him, he is one passionate and active fella.

He is so happy at home nothing can get him worked up or irritated.

Tarot Readings:  Resting, Sleeping (Four of Swords)

After all that passionate activity together, the guy with all that energy lapses into a coma.

Hardworking man rests up from his efforts when he is home.

He was asleep in his own house when the fight with the madman occurred.

Don’t try so hard to be in a committed relationship with The Dude, and you will be.

The workingman has given up, he isn’t even trying to be happy anymore.

No one will fight with the cranky dude, of all his friends and family.

.

King of Wands is the husband card, and Ten of Cups is one of the positive marriage cards (happily every after).  It is ‘married with children’ too.  So we have a man who is happy at home.

 

Ten of Cups also means house or home, of course. It means family, clan, circle of friends, community (usually of the good folks).  It is about being happy, being together, harmony and getting along.

 

King of Wands is the edgy cranky passionate macho or wild man, the maverick type, and Five of Wands is activity or a fight.  So, husband as the fighting man, or a fight with husband, or a passionate time. It also means the man with a temper is trying hard to …

 

Five of Wands is a big effort, involvement, a fight, trying hard, going all out, competition, being combative or being against (whatever). It could mean people exercising together or a chess competition, even.  Five of Wands and Ten of Cups is a family fight, family activities, or activities with a group of people (circle of friends, clan – whatever). 

 

Five of Wands is intense involvement; Four of Swords is not being involved and not participating.

 

Four of Swords tunes out, doesn’t participate in activities, is asleep or dormant.  This card adds variety to the others today.  Since Five of Wands is also about trying really hard, when you add Four of Swords someone isn’t dong that – isn’t making the effort.  Conversely, Five of Wands + Four of Swords can mean trying really hard to not be involved.  Four of Swords also makes ‘resting up after activities’ when joined  by Five of Wands.  With Ten of Cups, Four of Swords makes ‘staying at home,’ and staying in the marriage, and not participating in family life.

 

Strife or fighting is part of family life, we suggest.  People stay together who fight, and families consider fighting members still part of the family.  We also speak of an active man or a workingman who rests up after exertion, rests up after a passionate encounter.  A person with a temper tries really hard to have a happy family life, to stay out of conflict.  Another person declares she will have a happy home life with a working man who does not fight with her.

.

Five of Wands    Here are five fellows going at one another with boards.  Five of Wands is a big effort, a lot of energy going into something, intense involvement, a fight, trying hard, going all out, competition, being combative or being against (whatever).  It could mean people exercising together or a chess competition, even. 

 

Four of Swords    Spending the night in a vision quest was a part of the knighthood ceremony.  The candidate was to stretch out on the sarcophagus of a hero or saint of his culture, and meditate.  That’s our illustration.  Four of Swords tunes out, doesn’t participate in activities, is asleep or dormant, is indifferent, is not getting involved. 

 

King of Wands is the husband card, as Queen of Wands is the wife (manager of the home) card in Tarot Verbatim(TM).  He is the workingman, the common man or man with the common touch.  He tends to be hands-on – a construction worker or the man who actually does the work in corporate echelons.  He is the edgy cranky passionate macho or wild man, the maverick type.  He has a temper:  The salamander theme (not just the design, but the actual critter is by his side) and his red hair attest to this.  Just think Bill Clinton.

 

Ten of Cups    Ten of Cups is one of the positive marriage cards (happily every after).  It is ‘married with children’ too. Ten of Cups also means house or home, of course. Pictured is the American dream (without the dog):  The house on the golf course, the boy and girl.  A rainbow over the house tells us that.  Ten of Cups expands to mean family, clan, circle of friends, community (usually of the good folks).  It is about being happy, being together, harmony and getting along.  The Moral Majority – remember that?
