Chariot
Six of Swords – Two of Cups – Nine of Cups
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
Nine of Cups and Chariot Nine of Cups is having what you want and Chariot is achieving success. They converge in this spread: ‘My choice’ and ‘what I want’ refer to the same thing.
Six of Swords and Two of Cups The other pair of cards interlocks on getting out of a bad place, of evading being used. Six of Swords is leaving the bad place for a better future. Two of Cups I call ‘third party influence.’ It means to be influenced by or even controlled by anything you are not privy to, much as a mooch, an addiction, a handicap. It means having ties to anything or anyone that is deleterious to your welfare, so it includes energy vampires, overhead, debt schemes … nosy relatives, cults ….
Two of Cups and Chariot Two of Cups and Chariot each involve strategy: Two of Cups is office politics (or actual politics) and Chariot is strategic thinking as in thinking ahead, planning more than one way to get the project in on time and under budget.
Six of Swords and Chariot Six of Swords and Chariot are traveling, but Six of Swords is leaving and Chariot is arriving.
Our story is very positive: Getting ahead and having it all. It does not sound that positive because mention must be made of ‘the bad old days’ and the brakes you are disengaging before you drive where you are going.

Six of Swords Leaving, avoiding, evading, getting away from, putting it behind, escaping, distancing. Leaving a bad scene as recovering. Woman and child leave quietly, with nothing, in a rowboat. Difficulties fade away, the future looks better now that that is over

Two of Cups Bloodsucker alert! Someone wants a piece of you. It could be just the taxman, overhead or obligations; but it could be busybody relatives, a mooch or even a malignancy. It’s a situation where you are roped into playing someone else’s game, and feel tied to them (or it). Guess why it also means malignancy? It’s a cheating lover or an embezzling bookkeeper or a prying agency. The lovers in the picture have a caduceus over the cups of wine they are pledging their love (‘troth’) with. That means their union has undeclared opposition or covert interference, and indicates one or both of these folks may be insincere or scheming. Look for scheming relatives sometimes with Two of Cups.

Nine of Cups ‘I got mine.’ Your dream comes true. You get your way and/or get whatever it is you want. Pleased and satisfied and safunsified. Being where you want to be and having the return bus-fare to get back. It is also pleasing another. The man with the empties on the shelf behind him, hands folded over his big belly. 18 beers will do that.

Chariot Project manager who gets the job done with the materials and labor available, using its obstacles to best advantage and getting cooperation from the most recalcitrant of powerful sphinxes. He steers, leads, pulls it off. He decides and he chooses. It’s his game. On time and under budget kind of responsible. He is success, you pay him. He is willpower and self-control. No excuses, no whining, no extensions. He runs that vehicle with his will, no reins. (Is he single?)

Guidance In the same breath today we speak of a grand passion and being in control of the situation. We speak of a mooch and of ‘having it all.’ The crux of our message is: Choose what you want. Do you lean right now toward being in control? – then avoid the grand love affair. Do you want seduction? – then realize you could balance risk with reward there. Sometimes you have to decide even when there are no labels to identify the choices.

Chariot

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
Elements of drama here are, in order of the cards’ appearance: Leaving or putting it behind (
Six of Swords), someone who has a use for you and/or a love affair (
Two of Cups), getting what you want (
Nine of Cups), and taking charge, taking control, being responsible (
Chariot). Together, these four make dramas like ‘Leave the love affair if you want to be in control.’
Nine of Cups and Chariot Nine of Cups is what you want and Chariot is what you choose; Nine of Cups is satisfaction and Chariot is achievement. Together: You feel good about the choice you made, or you got what you chose. You made what you want happen, or made it happen the way you want.
Six of Swords and Two of Cups Two of Cups is ‘strings attached’ some way. It can be a friend using you; it can be a drain of any kind, like a mooch or a lemon car. It’s an agenda, an unnamed element or third party to any kind of relationship. Six of Swords is putting a disappointment like that behind or leaving the person who used you.

Six of Swords A woman and child slump in a crude boat and leave with nothing in very shallow water under gray skies with not a soul in sight. Refugees. At least they have the friend that is quietly poling the boat. Tomorrow is another day. At least this is over.

Two of Cups There’s an agenda to the seduction, ‘strings attached’ some way. It can be a friend using you; it can be a drain of any kind, like a mooch or a lemon car. It’s an unnamed element or third party to any kind of relationship. The winged lion’s head above intertwined snakes means vampirism (using another) of some sort. It speaks of interference by unsavory entities, even demons. (Yes, the medical profession adopted it!)

Nine of Cups The fat fellow sits there. Behind him are the line of cups he has drained. Surfeit, having it all. Feeling very satisfied with yourself. It most often means any variant of ‘wants.’ Words and phrases like gratifying, fulfill, prosperous, gets, wealth, money, the __ of your dreams, satisfying, craving, feels good, my own (success).

Chariot decides, accomplishes (his) purpose, has self-control and command of his environment, manages to get ahead and fulfill ambitions. Chooses to go straight and be responsible. Succeeds at the project, too. It’s also any vehicle, and driving or piloting same. Pictured is a charioteer – the skilled military man who is a strategist both in his individual combat and the overall battle plan (before the days of radio communication).

“Is it true love or sex?’ people wonder. Well, today it’s both. ‘Is this person my friend, or using me?’ Well, the mooch loves you. We have true love with a strong sexual bond. We have a friend who expects favors from buddies with no return reward. But the headline is, we have “Your dream lover comes to you with true love in his heart.” and “All you could ever want in a love affair: the love of someone who looks out for you.”
Two of Cups
Ace of Cups – Hermit – Nine of Cups
4 Tarot Readings: Looking for and Finding True Love (Ace of Cups and Hermit)
All you could ever want in a love affair: the love of someone who looks out for you.
Looking for love and finding exactly the love partner you have in mind.
It’s true love, and your lover is monogamous the way you want (him) to be.
Your dream lover comes to you with true love in his heart.
I get both a hot love affair and true love with devotion.
He comes looking for love, for a love affair with his dream mate.
Old man is in love, and can satisfy (you) sexually.
Tarot Readings: Love and Sex with Complications (Ace of Cups + Two of Cups)
He is devoted to the one he loves, but she only pretends to be what he really wants.
After being used, you crave honest loving.
A mooch really loves you because you help out with whatever he/she wants.
Your mooch is satisfied that he/she loves you and is devoted to you.
A player who really wants to be sincere because he/she is in love.
In my old age, life is easy and I have everything I want – even a sex life.
Lovable old man wants to have sex.
Tarot Readings: Help and Cooperation (Ace of Cups and Hermit)
I get the help and cooperation I want from someone who mistrusts me.
I got everything I could ever want the easy way, and now I seek to help people who don’t even know me.
Delighted with the help and cooperation of people we don’t even know.
Seeks to cooperate with what the other person wants in spite of misgivings.
Tarot Readings: Taking Advantage, Deceiving People (Two of Cups)
Someone comes to take foul advantage and wants to be loved for it.
It’s easy to get rich taking advantage of old people.
Gets rich deceiving people who seek God.
Two of Cups
Ace of Cups – Hermit – Nine of Cups
Well, your wish for true love and devotion is granted, in a hot love affair too! It goes like this: Ace of Cups is true love; Hermit is a person (usually, but not always, a fellow) who is devoted and sincere; and Nine of Cups is ‘your wish is granted,’ your dream come true. Two of Cups is the hot love affair. Hermit also comes to, or is looking for, another person. (Copy this paragraph and put it in your wallet!)
Hermit is sincere; Two of Cups has an agenda, is using someone, has an undisclosed other interest. Hermit is devoted; Two of Cups is mooching.
Ace of Cups is true love, Two of Cups is the (hot) love affair. Here, note, we have both. And we have both with Nine of Cups that means total satisfaction, dream come true.
Ace of Cups is cooperation, and Two of Cups is pretending to. Ace of Cups + Two of Cups = true love with a strong sexual bond, and also means ‘only pretending to love.’ Maddening, isn’t it? That’s why we combine more than four cards in an individual reading: to break those ties.
Two of Cups isn’t just cheating your lover, it’s being insincere with friends or in business deals. It’s pretending to be something you’re not. Its broad, general meaning is that ‘undisclosed third party’ or undisclosed other interest. That is applied in unexpected ways sometimes. It can represent, say, a surveillance camera.
“Is it true love or sex?’ people wonder. Well, today it’s both. ‘Is this person my friend, or using me?’ Well, the mooch loves you. We have true love with a strong sexual bond. We have a friend who expects favors from buddies with no return reward. But the headline is, we have “Your dream lover comes to you with true love in his heart.” and “All you could ever want in a love affair: the love of someone who looks out for you.”
Ace of Cups True love is what Ace of Cups is about today mostly, although God and cooperation do show up. The Rider Waite illustration is from the Roman Catholic end of things: the love representing Holy Spirit, the wafer representing Communion, the fountain that represents a person infused with the presence of God which flows through and goes out – those five streams being the five senses to modern people, and the five ‘humors’ or body fluids in the Middle Ages.
Hermit A monk is devoted to finding travelers at night, with his lantern, in the mountains in the snow. Hermit comes to, looks for, helps, is an old or older man, is patient and wise – sometimes a professional counselor – is celibate or monogamous, is a true friend, a friend who comes to help.
Nine of Cups ‘Your wish is granted’ refers to the person who is asking the question. He also means satisfaction, wanting, wanting it all, wealth, overindulgence, excess, being content, pleasing or being pleased. Illustration is a chubby fella who drank all those glasses on the mantel and has a big grin on his face.
Two of Cups The caduceus represents a factor that interferes or participates and is undisclosed. The factor that interferes need not be malefic, but often is. Two of Cups means many things – for example, mistrust, mooching, addiction (any kind), sexual bond, sexual affair, love affair, cheating lover, lover who has an agenda or misrepresents him- or her- self, false friend, con artist, embezzlement, deceit of all kinds.

Is this the first time you come here? Well …
HOW TO USE THE MATERIAL WE HAVE FOR YOU HERE. Read the sentences, the TAROT ANALYSIS, and pick out the ones that seem to apply to you, to the people around you. They are a Tarot analysis of your day’s circumstances. As the day (or several days) unfolds, you may find the information is relevant. Some of this information refers to a longer time period. The question is: “Tell the visitors here something useful and meaningful to them.” Often, your adopting the attitude you feel in the blog works for your day! Some days are ‘keep an eye open’ and some are ‘green lights.’
Without a question to focus the answer, four cards can mean even contradictory things. Without a question also the pronouns in a group reading are less specific, more flexible, especially in some of these Rider Waite Tarot spreads. Especially when a pronoun is in parentheses, feel free to substitute.
The Advice section sums up a general meaning of all the sentences. It is the favorite of most of us.

Two of Cups
Nine of Cups, Judgment, Eight of Swords
Meanings and Illustrations: Observation of the Spread
The similar Rider Waite Tarot cards today are Eight of Swords – being limited, stymied, or kept from –
and the Two of Cups – being influenced to serve another’s agenda, being conned or mooched upon. So both of these refer to limiting factors.
Eight of Swords serves as the actual death card, and Judgment shows the resurrection or reawakening, so achieving has to do with shedding what is keeping us dead or enslaved or down, what is keeping us from.
The other two cards address our question perfectly. Nine of Cups is achieving your dream, your goal, is satisfaction with life. Judgment is a whole new life or level, is a big change and is enlightenment or ‘getting it.’
You can just tell there’s just one message to this spread. Many ways to say it, many ways to apply it, but just one biblical pronouncement going on.
Meanings and Illustrations: Individual Rider Waite Tarot Cards
Nine of Cups Nine of Cups today expresses ‘achieve your dream’ in our Question. All its phrases in all the sentences echo that sentiment: getting what you want, achieving your own happiness, want to be rich, your best good, having it your way. Its Rider Waite illustration shows a fat fella who done et tha whole thang … done drank it all too – See those empty glasses up there? – and is safunsified. That’s you, now!
Judgment has a few categories of meanings, all arising out of its illustration per the Tarot Verbatim system. First category is telling, announcing, news, being told, the ‘Now hear this’ experience. Which leads directly to the ‘getting it’ enlightenment categories of meanings. Then we have the ‘new level,’ whole new life, new awareness category. Not done yet! There’s the ‘recovery’ category as well, including, of course, recovery from death (near-death experience).
The illustration we speak of is the resurrection day scenario, with the angel’s trumpet awakening the dead even in the ocean, reawakening all to a whole new level of awareness and a new life. Now, isn’t that a propos of ‘in Today’s World’ in our Question?
Eight of Swords is a limiting factor or even the limiting factor, abbreviated ‘clf’ in the sciences. In Verbatim Tarot it produces words like ‘stifle.’ Examples are: You can’t do that, can’t have it, impossible, keep you from it, confined, keeps you down. So this is the actual death card.
Its illustration shows a female tied up outside the castle on the hill, blindfolded in the swamp and surrounded by swords: helpless, unable, stymied …
Two of Cups echoes the ‘limiting factor’ of Eight of Swords. It refers to your own agenda being interfered with by some outside influence. Often, the interference is intentional to get you to be patriotic to someone else’s turf rather than your own. These are the folks who want you to do it their way, and motivate you into serving them at your own detriment. This does NOT refer to any fair deal, relationship or agreement in the Tarot Verbatim system. This is others being entitled to your services because they say so and you believe them. (So, thank you, Judgment, for being there for us, for waking us up from this torpor.)
The illustration for Two of Cups shows a couple committing to one another. One or both of them are self-serving deceitful mooches. How do we know? That is what the symbol above them means. It is the caduceus, an occult symbol.
Advice is straightforward, restated many different ways. The strategy to achieve your dream in today’s world is to remove what stands between you and it, remove influences on yourself – whether from environment, loyalty, culture, self-serving people or partners that hold you back.
Remove those limiting factors and, presto, you are where you want to be. Shackles are voluntary in some fashion. No, there isn’t any ‘can’t.’
TAROT ANALYSIS
Being reborn (from the death of being enslaved by your environment) is how you achieve your dream life.
Telling you: When you stifle what interferes, you achieve your goals!
People who tell you you can’t do that your way want you to do it their way.
When getting what you want yourself is impossible, tell someone else to get involved with you.
If you want a whole new life, you can’t have it with a bloodsucker/parasite/energy vampire.
You can’t openly announce what you want to achieve because of the interference factor.
The Big News is: If you want to be rich, it can’t be done with a partner.
The minute you have it all, people who are entitled to what is yours will keep you from it.
Now hear this: You can’t have it your way if you get it from someone else.
When you recover from being stifled by a conniving partner, you achieve your own happiness.
You achieve your dream when you get it that you can’t be what other people want you to be for them.
The way you limit people to serving your interests is to tell them that is what they really want.
When you are told what your best good is, you are confined to that agenda.
Near-death experience (recovering from death) influences your view of what you want.
When other people keep you down, you are enlightened about what it is you really want!
Feeling you must serve or please others either causes that light bulb to go on or keeps you from achieving your own goals.
We’re telling you the way to have the life you want is to kill what gets in your way.
Partners hold you back from even daring to say what you want.
Partners hold you back from the different life that will be satisfying to you.
