Tarot Readings for You for January 14, 2014 Tuesday©
Guidance What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, they say. Today we take on that long slow hard row to hoe that is somewhere in most everyone’s life. Overcoming in that department is a major triumph, a triumph that may be shared with a loved one. If the challenge one person faces connects with another in a loving way, then a long-awaited victory over a past failure is shared with a partner.

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.

First, Overlapping meanings in common in this spread:
Ten of Wands and Ace of Swords These two overlap a lot. Here are some of the things they mean separately: challenge; made it through; the most ever; monumental; the extreme of. Ten of Wands is the worst, the heaviest, and means slow going but getting there. Ace of Swords emphasizes the upside, winning, but also the other side of the same situation, defeat. (There’s a winner and a loser.)
Ten of Wands and Five of Cups Each of these two cards means the following: feel so bad; the worst of it.
(End of ‘Overlapping’ section.)
Ten of Wands and Five of Cups What hits you first as an experienced reader in this spread is: Here are the two cards whose primary meanings are depression. Ten of Wands is the burden on your back, slow going, too much to bear, taking on the whole burden. Five of Wands: Oh God, I wish I had never. Depression. Wishing I had not. How things would have been if only. Regret. Mourning. Bereavement. Heartsick and homesick. Haunted by the past.
“Nothing good can come from these two.” Except making it through the night, because Ten of Wands means slow going, hard going, but you do get there, you do make it.
Lovers and Ace of Swords Lovers indicates the source of grief has to do with a/the loved one or a connection or contact. I strongly feel our story today includes grief for a beloved animal, of which I have quite a few myself. Ace of Swords just magnifies what we already have on the table. It means ‘absolutely,’ win/lose victory/defeat conquering or overcoming. And triumphing. Lovers and Ace of Swords together say ‘unconditional love’ too.
Once again, Five of Cups haunts this spread. Regret for the past, depression. Its mood is pervasive on the surrounding cards.

Lovers A complex illustration births disparate meanings. Protection (which becomes insurance with the Ace of Swords which means both a threat and a guarantee). Any form of connection or contact or attachment (including mechanical attachments). To stand next to or stand with, to be together or joint or in partnership with. Divine or angelic protection or interest. Love affair and love relationship with passion (the volcano). In business, it is a partnership. In investment, it is joint interest. In litigation, it could be a codefendant or two claimants.
Its illustration in the Rider Waite (and just about any other) deck shows Adam and Eve, two people who are partners and lovers, with a volcano between them. Eve has her tree with the snake in it and Adam gets the tree of life. An angel is above them which brings the idea of protection. God of course is inherent in the pictured scene. The sunshine and greenery give the card a positive spin.
Ten of Wands Doing it all in one trip, one load, doing it the hard way, taking on a huge project, slow going, chronic or long term condition or state, being so tired, exhausting, overwhelming or overwhelmed, depression. Simple illustration for all this in Rider Waite Tarot is a fellow loaded down with all the wood he can possibly handle, still making progress to where he is going.
Ace of Swords Main message is victory, triumph, overcoming, winning definitively. Remember that the other side in a definitive win suffers a definitive loss, which the Delphic oracle did not remind an ancient general of when he and his army stopped by wanting to know the outcome of his invasion of Persia. It means being strong, doing something the hard way, asserting or aggression, force, must and have to, absolute, a mandate or command.
Illustration is a hand holding a sword upright which is crowned with the Roman victory laurel.
.
Five of Cups Haunted by the past, sick with regret or bereavement or grief for a significant loss. Just being depressed, so depressed you are oblivious to what you do have going for you. Five of Pentacles feels this way too. Hope I don’t get a spread with both of them! The spilled wine suggests a waste. When you see Five of Cups with Ace of Swords, someone likely has a sickening loss.
