Tarot Readings for You for December 13-14, 2018
GUIDANCE Uh, just because it’s impossible is no reason to do it. You can be afraid it’s too much for you … when it isn’t. But there’s no reason to strain yourself, so be picky about how many of the hard parts you take on. One miracle at a time, you know. We point out you can get so exhausted you can’t sleep. We find a line of demarcation in ‘anxious but not overwhelmed.’

.………..………. .……..…….. When you see Nine of Swords and Ten of Wands together, you know this isn’t going to be upbeat. Anxiety (Nine of Swords) and depression (Ten of Wands). Heavy (Ten of Wands) and scary (Nine of Swords). So we look to the companion card: Do we have a rescue? Big time: Four of Cups is refusing – is not letting it get to you. It also means ‘not getting through.’ Four of Cups is a negator, one of the main ones.
First of all, we have three Tarot cards here whose illustrations plainly state their meanings: Yay! Ten of Wands is taking on a lot, enough for it to be slow going. Four of Cups and Nine of Swords together say ‘Don’t let it [That would be Four of Cups of course] get to you [Nine of Swords]. So that’s our major theme. Note that Four of Cups depicts ‘not letting it get to you,’ since he is actively ignoring the cup-offers, AND that the slang term ‘let it get to you,’ which is another way of expressing the basic ‘nightmare’ meaning of Nine of Swords also contributes the words ‘get to you.’ When you see this overlap-of-phrases happening in your spreads, the cards are linking strongly, which is a signature of accuracy.
As a matter of fact, if you are used to doing Tarot, you see ‘Don’t worry’ with Four of Cups and Nine of Swords immediately. That is probably the very most frequent translation of this pair.
Four of Cups and Ten of Wands say ‘not ever,’ ‘don’t ever,’ ‘won’t ever’ – and other such phrases, even ‘not long.’ Ten of Wands is all the ‘forever’ and ‘long term’ words, and Four of Cups is all the ‘won’ts’ and ‘don’ts.’ It means resistance, including resisting temptation.
Notice how, in this spread, Ten of Wands amplifies meanings of the other cards and Four of Cups is canceling them out. Ten of Wands is the extreme of anything, and Four of Cups is refusing to permit it. You can think of Four of Cups as ‘not going to,’ which it often means, and Ten of Wands as ‘let myself get carried away with.’ Ten of Wands is carrying, we see. He is taking on the whole load, the whole thing, at once. [Again, we have an overlap of phrases in our vernacular (slang) translation.]
Ten of Wands and Nine of Swords also say ‘worry too much.’ They even say ‘overwhelming (Ten of Wands) fear (Nine of Swords).’ The picture in Nine of Swords suggests ‘Nights are when it gets to me,’ or night terrors.
This spread is another example of how a negator card – in this case Four of Cups – can produce different contradictory meanings as it relates to one card and not the other, and then switches its allegiance. Don’t let that drive you crazy. Remember, in a ‘real’ reading the question or the nearby card supplies these distinctions. [And always keep in mind that contradictions are life: that both conflicting statements can be operating at the same time. We have mixed feelings; we act the opposite of the way we feel.]
Four of Cups……. Four of Cups is simple: ‘No!’ The latest of four cups is offered to a fellow who clearly isn’t having any of Number Four, just like he didn’t have any of Numbers One through Three that sit on the ground in front of him. Arms crossed, legs crossed, seated, looking down and away: It all says ‘Not going to; don’t want to; don’t have to; don’t believe it; it isn’t getting through. [Once in a while this card says ‘The buck stops here.’]
Note that the action (as usual) applies both ways. Four of Cups also means ‘you can’t get through to this person,’ that something is blocked. It indicates an application, for example, is turned down.
Ten of Wands………Ten of Wands often simply means words like very, extremely, a lot, as well as too, and too much. It also means overloaded (obviously), overwhelming, exhausted, overworked. Along the same line, it can also say totally, more-so, even more, maximum, the most, anything, everything, and all, without implying excess. Watch for this card to add ‘-er’ and ‘-est’ as well as ‘-ier’ and ‘-iest’ to other cards’ words. (Today it translates ‘anything, ever.’)
Ten of Wands is about ‘doing it all in one load,’ which is slow but saves a second trip. Remember that the emphasis isn’t usually on the predicament of our laborer; it is on the fact that progress is slow but sure. Ten of Wands means ‘hang in there’ and ‘persist’ and even ‘You’re gonna make it.’
Difficult and its synonyms like hard, onerous and uphill, arduous, burden, and backbreaking belong to Ten of Wands as well. A lot of infrequent ones, like grueling, and the hard way, and getting in over your head show up for this illustration.
A trunk of Ten of Wands’ meaning tree is ‘slow.’ Many similar words join us here, like gradually, eventually, slows (him) down, long drawn-out, dragging out or dragging on, so long, slow going, take forever.
Sometimes Ten of Wands’ emphasis on on the long time, rather than the slow rate, so we have words like: long term, always, longer, finally, long-awaited, eventually, long drawn out, in the long run, and taking a long time. The ‘slow’ theme and the ‘difficult’ theme combine phrases to make things like a long hard row to hoe.
Ten of Wands is also about exhaustion, being tired, the strain of heavy involvement. It describes simply putting up with something too – and when it does, it’s no small thing that’s being endured.
Speaking of which, Ten of Wands joins a number of cards for the downer theme: depressing. It isn’t a lead card for sadness; it comes there by dint of being overwhelmed, exhausted and having ‘taken on too much.’
That’s a lot of choices that are similar, interlaced, even. ‘How am I going to make the distinction?’ you are wondering. The answer is context. Tarot Verbatim™ is language-based, so the term that fits in with the others is the one that will do – and there isn’t just one choice, anyway, as you can see from the more than twenty sentence I put up every day for the same cards.
Nine of Swords………Nine of Swords is distraught: Things get to you, especially in the middle of the night. Your nerves are shot. You are stressed out. Life is a nightmare. Sitting bolt upright in bed, hands to head in the classic position of headache or grief, is what you see, and you can’t miss its meaning. Nine of Swords is worry, grief, insomnia, losing sleep, scary things, sweating it out, dread, things getting on your last nerve, even having a good cry. It very frequently translates ‘anxiety’ or ‘anxious.’ Of course it can refer to a bad dream.
Watch for Nine of Swords (along with Hermit, Moon, and other night-scenes on cards) to simply mean ‘nighttime,’ especially if you asked when something would happen. Nine of Swords also talks about a lack of sleep, or staying up too late, and is advice to get some sleep. It can indicate stress as the cause of disturbed sleep too.
People who combine Tarot with astrology will take note of the many astrological images on Nine of Swords.
.
Sometimes things get to us that usually don’t. We take a good look here at carrying on step by step when we have undertaken some difficult endeavor, and not getting ourselves into losing sleep over it. ‘Sufficient unto the day is the grief thereof,’ Proverbs quotes. The underlying message is that you accomplish the near-impossible by refusing to be discouraged and carrying on.
.
Now we show where each of the phrases in each of the sentences comes from:
