Tarot Readings for You for August 21, 2014 Thursday(c)

Guidance What are the chances of everything we fear actually happening? As we think, shadowy distractions cloud the course here and there, just out of sight. Like bugs on the windshield, we don’t notice them on purpose. We are looking at fears as clutter on the hard drive of our psyche, and we are scanning the contents of our mind to defragment that clutter and optimize our performance. Petty aggravations have the same effect as the nagging fears do, we point out. Today we seek to expose the shadowy disorganized content as the trash it is. Once this sticky stuff is no longer attached into our thinking processes, it is seen for the useless mess that it is. Now we’ve got a clean machine to work with. Without the sponges on our energy we zoom along to damn those torpedoes we used to dodge.

Are YOU here for the first time? Come in!

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.

………………….………………….

Fool – Moon – Eight of Wands

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

………………….…………………… Fool and Moon are strange bedfellows, and Eight of Wands is an innocent bystander.

………………………….. Fool is lighthearted – doesn’t think of hazards like the edge of that cliff.

………………………….. Moon is the danger Fool is disregarding.

………………………….. Eight of Wands is a pluralizer: It makes nearby cards plural; it adds an ‘s’ to things. Its other main meanings are a list, and written or verbal communication.

……….……….………. Fool and Moon Fool and Moon are about disregarding the downsides, the dark side, mistakes, and fears … bad stuff. Picture this: Being upbeat (Fool) about the downsides of things (Moon pluralized by Eight of Wands). Being lighthearted (Fool) about the heavy stuff (Moon). Not taking evil seriously. The mold is not my problem. I’m not going to worry about that. Fearless (free of fears). Damn those torpedoes! – being blasé about danger.

………..……….………. Fool and Eight of Wands Fool and Eight of Wands blithely say “To hell with it all,” and “I’m not listening” and “I don’t care about any of it” and “I’m free of everything.” They can go farther than that to a declaration (Eight of Wands) of independence (Fool as freedom).

……….………..……….… Moon and Eight of Wands Moon and Eight of Wands is a lot of (Eight of Wands) mistakes (Moon), and things (Eight of Wands) getting worse (Moon). Eight of Wands is ‘more and more.’ Moon as the Left-hand Path invites curse words into the sentence, so Moon with Eight of Wands is cuss words. Eight of Wands means ‘all’ by virtue of all the boards flying in the air, so these two can also say ‘Fuck it all.’

Our main focus in these seemingly unrelated one-sentence readings is that nothing is worth being afraid of – that regrets, antagonisms, guilts, tension and stress only weigh your vehicle down. Here we picture the concept – in Fool’s lack of luggage for his trip – of traveling lightly, of ‘water off a duck’s back.’ Tarot is not saying there’s nothing to fear but saying *not fearing is an advantage*.

HERE ARE PHRASES FOR ALL THREE 2-CARD COMBINATIONS

LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES

Fool ……… Fool is free, doesn’t care, doesn’t think, has no plan, takes nothing seriously, and is the optimist and the youngster. These sorts of entities lead charmed lives: God protects fools and drunks. Fool is not being present in the physical world – not there when something happened that could bring trouble. Fool illustrates how spiritual people often are exempt from physical consequences – like not being affected by poison, etc. Of course, when it is applied in a reading, Fool can just be not looking where the heck you are going.

Moon…………. Moon’s illustration is the Left-hand Path, the esoteric equivalent of the road to hell. This card is the opposite of Ace of Pentacles, the Right-hand Path or ‘straight and narrow’ we are familiar with. There are worse cards in the deck (Ten of Swords, Seven of Swords, Six of Wands) but Moon is renowned as ‘the worst card in the deck.’ One of its meanings is ‘worst.’ It suggests being lost, dangers and hazards, sickness, trouble and mistakes. Also fear and being out of your mind (insanities).

Eight of Wands………. could use another illustration. You can see ‘many’ in this illustration, and even stretch it to mean ‘written’ because the spaces in between the boards look sort of like lines on a notebook. One board after another, yes, suggests ‘over and over again’ or ‘more and more,’ or ‘keeps’ (meaning repeated actions), and items to a list, yes. But its main meaning of communication is not in the picture. Nevertheless, this card shows up to mean: say, tell, talk, and so on.

Our Daily Spread for Mar. 22, 2011

Four Card Spreads, Our Daily Spread, Tarot Verbatim

Best thing for this person is to suppress his/her feeling that (people) are against (this) and be optimistic

Fool
Wheel of Fortune, Three of Swords, Eight of Swords

A wonderful thing happens: freed from the crippling heartache!
Just lucky that (you are) not held back by these adverse circumstances, (you are) not even aware of them.
Escapes being killed in action/war by sheer luck.
Best thing for this person is to suppress his/her feeling that (people) are against (this) and be optimistic.
Freedom is suppressed when the fighting happens.

Assume this is wonderful and he/she can’t break from it/break up.
Assume there can’t be any conflict, that the best will just happen.
When the adverse factors are suppressed, one is free to cash in.
Assume adverse consequences can’t happen.
Oh, it’s going to happen for the best, that’s all there is to it: There can’t be any opposition.
The impossible happens despite everything being against it.

You can’t fight destiny, don’t even think about it.
You can’t stop a miracle from happening, it just happens.
Assumes (you) can’t break up, it’s destiny.
A storm prevents the event from even happening.
No harm can come that would keep the windfall from happening.

At the ends we have two very optimistic Rider Wait concepts: Happens for the very best or the very best happens, the Wheel of Fortune, and optimism and being free, the Fool. (The Fool has lots of meanings in the Rider Waite Tarot system.) In the middle, two dismal swords that tend to cancel one another: Three of Swords, hostility, adverse conditions, conflict/war; and Eight of Swords, to prevent, inhibit, kill, suppress, keep from _____ing, and ‘can’t.’ We end with the ‘oh, never mind, let it be’ mood of the Fool.

Overall, this is a story of something great happening because whatever would oppose it is suppressed. Advice is ‘Full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes, because there are no torpedoes.”

There is no clear subject in the layout unless you take Three of Swords to be a divorce. There are not clear pronouns or tense of verbs, so it can apply to anyone and to any time. Writing it like that would make for very awkward reading, so you have to apply the alternative ones.

Meanings and Illustrations:

Wheel of Fortune, the names speaks for itself. I once knew a competent experienced lawyer who said “If I had the choice between being a brilliant lawyer and a lucky lawyer, I would choose being a lucky lawyer,” and all his colleagues nodded wisely. This Rider Waite Tarot card (and most of the other decks) means a miracle happens, a lucky break, ‘It happens!’

Three of Swords: Adverse circumstances, hostility, opposition, conflict or war or battle or ‘combative,’ storm, hurt, and so on. What else could a heart with three swords through it and gray storm clouds behind it mean? (Medical meanings don’t apply today.)

Eight of Swords: Tied up blindfolded in a swamp surrounded by the sharp instruments that would cut the bonds. Of course it means to prevent, can’t, to inhibit, the impossible, to suppress.

Fool: I could list a hundred potential meanings for this card standing alone. There is a spectrum for the Fool, it is one of those ‘ambiguous’ cards. Influenced by the Wheel of Fortune, its ‘freedom’ meanings, it’s ‘don’t even think about’ themes, and its feeling of being uninhibited or unleashed are brought out.

Your financial future is secured, you overcome the challenge and are in a new phase of life

Ace of Swords
Five of Swords, Judgment, Two of Wands

The next time you are really going to pull it off for sure: You win!
Your financial future is secured, you overcome the challenge and are in a new phase of life.
Being taken advantage of is the wakeup call that forces you to plan your future.
You ARE going to beat this – a surprise victory.
Tell the smart alec there’s a ‘new sheriff in town.’

No way are you the one who is picked on or taken advantage of. This next time is different.
Using some force or an ultimatum against his smirking oneupsmanship will change things (for sure).
A revelation gives you the security to use force against force.
A revelation will give you the ability to overcome anyone who gets in your way.
Suddenly you have a bad attitude, you are going to lay down the law.

Laying down the law against the pushy guy will change him.
There is going to be a whole new way of life for sure: You have pulled that off.
His unfair treatment of you made you change, and now your future is in your own hands.
Overcoming the bully will be giving you a whole new you.
You will give an ultimatum to the offender.

This is interesting. Five of Swords and Ace of Swords suggests overcoming bullying, or overcoming an unfair situation. Judgment is a new phase, new life, a change, and recovering. Two of Wands is a secure future. So we have a story of profiting from being taken advantage of, of being forced to stand up for yourself and having a revelation that fighting can be a good plan. That is the advice: It’s time to not put up with something, to whack back.

Half our cards today are swords, which would suggest today has conflict. Like we just said, conflict can be edifying. (Edifying is our vocabulary word – just means ‘good for you.’

Meanings and Illustrations:

Five of Swords: This is the guy with the Cheney smirk, the pushy bastard. It can also be advice to adopt a ‘bad attitude’ and can also mean to ‘beat’ something that bedevils you. The story of the Five of Swords is that the guy took his friends’ swords for real when they were just playing at dueling.

Judgment: A new life, a change, a resurrection. The illustration shows the resurrection day.

Two of Wands: Here stands the wealthy landowner overlooking the holdings from the top of his roof, holding the world in his hands … that’s kinda obvious. It stands for financial security, the future, and to put the sentence in future tense.

Ace of Swords: This is victory, all one way, an ultimatum, and ‘have to.’ The hand with the sword in it, and the laurel of victory crowing the sword.

Tomorrow I will be trying something new. One of the spreads will have a question which will be “how to solve or handle whatever a problem of yours is.”
