Four Card Spreads, Our Daily Spread
Advice contrasts woman’s approach to enterprise with men’s, stereotypically of course. Women get together as equals, pool the investments, share the labor and share the profit with great good feeling together in sisterhood mode. Men are out to make a quick buck and make off with it as loners, to take advantage of the people they deal with on a one-time basis. Yeah, this is simplistic and surely has many exceptions in real life, but that is the groove Tarot is in today for someone out there.

Temperance – Knight of Wands – Five of Swords
MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: OBSERVATION OF THE SPREAD
“Guy takes her money, takes advantage, and runs” screams this layout. Primary and obvious message, can’t miss it. Just look at Knight of Wands (out of town in a hurry, fast pursuit) and Five of Swords (the bully, the ripoff artist, the abuser, the guy who takes advantage) combined with Three of Cups, women who are making money sharing together in their enterprise, and Temperance, a deal or transaction. (I smell stock broker here.)
So I worked at it and found some positive, or at least less negative messages, because I hate to rain on everyone’s parade unless it’s a hurricane I can do nothing but report. So find that I did, and I put it first!
MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: INDIVIDUAL RIDER WAITE TAROT CARDS
Temperance A barefoot angel dude pours liquid back and forth between two cups, is standing in a shallow pool with wings outstretched. We have the path to the rising sun and the blue mountains that remind me of Ace of Pentacles. This is a hastily added Middle Ages card that is about diluting wine. That is supposed to be a healing angel, by the symbols on the chest, by the way. Irises.
But this card’s meaning in Tarot Verbatim is intimate partnership or equal partnership, deal or transaction, direct one-on-one hand-to-hand contact. Today the accent is on partnership because of the sharing of profits and pooling of resources expressed in Three of Cups.
Knight of Wands is running out of town in a hurry, although he can mean hot pursuit as well. The salamanders and red hair indicate an impulsive macho energetic dude with a temper. He is in a hurry: That is the main emphasis of Knight of Wands. That is the meaning we concentrate on in today’s messages.
Five of Swords is largely someone you would like to exclude from your life and not be like. This is the smart alec, the bully, the fellow who takes foul advantage of friends and is cruel – you know, ‘the guy who takes his half down the middle of the road.’ His smirk reminds me of Mr. Cheney’s.
The story of the scene is that he had swordplay with friends, and then claimed their swords (and their assets, per knighthood’s rules) as if it were a real fight, when he won. I met lots of this type as a court reporter in the drug and real estate boom in south Florida. They tend to have that expression on their faces a lot, too, that is shown on the Rider Waite Tarot card.
Most of the bad cards have their innocuous side, and this one can simply mean to beat something (say an ailment) or to take advantage of an offer instead of a person.
Three of Cups The girls pooled their money and shared their labor and are now sharing the profit of the farm. Camaraderie, celebration, profit, trust, girls together, party girls, sisterhood.

Advice Women get together and get things done out of sight of the menfolk. There’s a sisterhood that operates as a co-op when no guy has a part in the deal. He senses that the womenfolk are in agreement about him when he’s not around. The girls are glad he didn’t want to share their doings, now there’s more for them. He sees the woman he left behind making fast progress. But some fellows rush right over; they have the idea to join in the woman’s enterprise. (At the time of production, there’s no way to correct the lack of spaces after punctuation. I am writing around it now!) 
Is this the first time you come here? Well … what to do:
*Go to Advice above which is a summary of the Messages. (Advice is everyone’s favorite part.)
*Go to Group Analytical Tarot Reading below. One or more of those sentences has something to say to you. Intuitively pick those out. They are about you and the people around you. They are about today and the days around it. (It is a group message like a horoscope, except Tarot isn’t based on someone else’s birth data, so it can be specific, accurate, detailed and direct. Our experiment here is “How much more accurate is it?”)
Did you come here for your predictions? – You are done now – See you tomorrow.
Without a question to focus the answer, four cards can mean contradictory things especially when the Spread has a card that negates other cards. Without a question also the pronouns in a group reading are more flexible, especially in some of these Rider Waite Tarot spreads. When a pronoun is in parentheses, feel very free to substitute. The question in a ‘real’ individual reading supplies at least half the information!

The women of the family do it themselves, they know he is on his way out. As soon as he did that, we knew he would be leaving us to fend for ourselves: Yay!

Winning makes you happy, but overcoming gets you going
Knight of Wands Three of Cups, Strength, Ace of Swords
To make yourself happy, you have to handle this in a hurry. He has won, he is well on his way to celebrating with the woman who handled some of his obstacles. He went all out for her to be the winner, but she handled things herself. Winning makes you happy, but overcoming gets you going. A forceful hands-on approach to getting problems out of the way quickly wins the day. Put everything you’ve got into overcoming in this pivotal struggle, and you will be so happy. The joy of engaging and defeating the opposition gets your blood moving. She exerts a forceful influence that gets those girls going, and everyone is happy. She is on her way to celebrating victorious living, having overcome even her own resistance. Challenging this woman gets her fighting spirit up: She wins and he leaves the field to her. The girls pool their resources, meet their challenges, and are on their way to the good life. Strong women who stick together win fast. She gets women to go all out in pursuit of prosperity. At first glance, the girls win and the guy flees: It’s a battle. But there’s a lot more going on when you look a little. There’s overcoming a challenge, and getting going or getting one’s blood moving. And the guy can be pursuing victory, not fleeing someone else’s. The girls celebrate, though, that’s for sure. So we have several scenarios, which I unwound in due course. Smack in the middle is the Strength card, which in Rider Waite Tarot is having the character to overcome without a battle, to have such an influence about you that the monster doesn’t want to eat you. It means spiritual overcoming, and the figure who has the lion purring is without question female. Next to her is the Ace of Swords which means victory by force, winning, and challenging. And on the other side of her is the celebrating … girls celebrating a good life, that lovely Three of Cups. On top is the Knight of Wands, putting all his energy into the pursuit … or the flight, depending. These are the pieces that make the messages above. A victory is the direct and main subject of both he Three of Cups and the Ace of Swords. The Strength card is also about overcoming, which is a victory. Women or a woman winning is in the Three of Cups and the Strength card. The idea of going all out for something is in the Ace of Swords and the Knight of Wands. Advice is some battles are won before any blood is on the floor. Advice is to lunge into high gear and grab your win from the opposing factors directly. Exert your influence expertly, surgically, and forcefully but deftly. A sure win is under your hand.
Meanings and Illustrations:
Three of Cups: These girls get together and celebrate; they have pooled their investment and made a whopping profit they share. The harvest is at their feet, and the sky is all blue. Strength: She loves her enemy, you see. She gets on the good side of the monster by having such an influence about her that he doesn’t want to mess with her, so he submits to friendly contact with someone he really would rather eat. You go, girl. Ace of Swords: Win. Victory. Challenge. Totally one way. Those are the meanings we use today anyway, the easiest ones, because there’s the hand with the sword in it that is crowned with victory. Knight of Wands: He is all in a lather getting going out of town in a hurry, or in hot pursuit of something or someone. This is exertion, giving it your all, going all out – today’s emphasis.
A sudden big unexpected win, when losing was a sure thing
Knight of Pentacles Five of Cups, Wheel of Fortune, Knight of Swords
Focus is on getting back a lost opportunity. This is your big chance: Take it and run with it, or be the loser. Something wonderful comes along while you are feeling so sad or sorry: Watch for it. A miraculous recovery from his focus on past losses. A miraculous recovery from focusing on past losses. That miracle, to change when you are down, is what you are looking for. He can see his destiny changing as he bounces back from heartsickness. This is the one opportune time to capitalize on that loss. To quit drinking, he focused on making that one thing happen. He knew the loss had to happen to fuel the getaway. Keep your eye on the ball of grand opportunity and reverse that loss. One big chance to turn things around from despondency. A sudden big unexpected win, when losing was a sure thing. One thing on his mind: To snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat. A sudden loss focuses you/him on one thing: the turnaround. This one win makes up for all his losses. Only a miracle can save the day, it’s sooo bad. When you hit bottom like this, luck can change fast. He is so down, and he is looking for that stroke of luck. That grand opportunity happens in the nick of time: just before you go under. This is pretty much all these four say – as if we asked for more! Smack in the middle is the grand Wheel-of-Fortune opportunity, the miracle, the big chance, the lucky strike, the jackpot. Next is the fast Knight-of-Swords turnaround: Yay! To the left is the dismal depressing sad past you are sorry about, the Five of Miserable Cups. Overall is the focus-on-one-thing Knight of Pentacles. Notice that today’s two spreads have the same message: victory that is coming FAST. Each spread features a dude on a horse hurrying, and each spread ends in a dude on a horse. Three knights in shining armor! Not bad for an eight-card pantheon. Advice is, once again, to seize the day, be looking for that crack of light in the dark tunnel of despair that is the first glimmer of turnaround. It’s coming fast. The Wheel of Fortune is not about finding ten bucks in the grocery store; it is about a pivotal lucky destiny. The concept of capitalizing on a loss may refer to taxes for some visitor here. This second spread is a guy’s perspective; the first one was about a girl’s.
Meanings and Illustrations:
Five of Cups: Oh, woe is me, I focus on what is spilled more than the cups that are filled. It’s a gray day, and I’m all droopy in my black robes. Wah, I’m a big loser and I’ll never get over it, I just look back enveloped in sorrow and sorry. Wheel of Fortune: Miracle. Luck. Destiny. Jackpot. It happens. Grand opportunity/opportune The big chance. Illustration has occult symbols of fate, and a roulette-wheel looking thing in the center. Knight of Swords: The last-minute turnaround strikes, this time right after the jackpot miracle. Can you think of a better place for that? He is pictured full speed ahead brandishing his weapon, eyes on the prize. Knight of Pentacles: He has one thing on his mind, he does. His eye is on the prize, too. And he is a tough guy who will reach out and grab it, not politely at all. You know what they say about thugs like him: It’s good to have him on your side.
