Tarot Readings for You for October 14, 2013 Monday(c)

Tarot Verbatim

Guidance    Change: It happens to me whether I pursue or avoid it.  And of course I sometimes do run from a chance. Sometimes it pays to wait for the best offer, and sometimes I snooze and lose.  Sometimes ‘Change happens.’  Sometimes destiny drops in on me and I am off someplace I am unprepared for. Sometimes ambition strikes a couch potato unexpectedly and changes his or her nature.  Change, yes, is afoot today, around me.

Are YOU here for the first time? Come in!

People love this place! Our site is divided into four sections: Guidance, Tarot Readings, Learn Tarot by Observation, and Learn Tarot by Pictures.

.
If you just want your daily look ahead, Guidance and Tarot Readings are all you need. ‘Guidance’ (above) is a summary of what the cards are telling visitors to be aware of this day.

‘Group Tarot Cards Reading’ (just below this) is the actual word-for-word messages to everyone. These readings are about you and the people around you.  They are about today and the days around it. So, go ahead and pick the sentences you feel are yours and decide whether to encourage or reject them for yourself.

Did you come here for your predictions? – You are done now – See you tomorrow. The family of commenters here would love for you to join in (the very last thing, at the bottom).

Tarot Readings: Sudden Lucky Break (Wheel of Fortune and Eight of Cups)

Do not pursue that opportunity but go the other way.

There is a sudden opportunity for you to pursue if you just wait it out.

He abruptly goes from being a couch potato to pursuing his fortune.

You put a lot of energy into getting here, and suddenly it’s your lucky day.

Sleep is disrupted to get on the road the minute you get the chance.

The big opportunity involves the graveyard shift and a commute.

Over-the-road transport, you make out financially but sleep is disrupted.

He waits for the chance to start driving truck.

Asleep at the switch, or pursuing your best destiny?

Just wait.  Your time will come.  Without any notice, you will be on your way.

All of a sudden it’s full speed ahead after just waiting for something great to happen.

Tarot Readings: Out of Here and On My Way (Knight of Wands and Eight of Cups)

This miracle stuff changes the energy level from not doing anything to zooming around.

Luck will be with you, lie low and you will be out of there fast.

You were lucky to get out of there on your own steam.  Had you stayed, you would have dropped out.

After waiting all that time, (he) gets out in a hurry before it happens.

Suddenly he is not indifferent any more but is out and about any chance he gets.

All of a sudden it’s full speed ahead after just waiting for your chance.

Tarot Readings: Letting it Happen (Wheel of Fortune and Four of Swords)

Lets things happen to him/her; avoids any gung-ho pursuit.

Waiting for a chance to get ahead, I miss out.

Let destiny take its course and send me wherever I end up, whenever.

After no change at all, (you are) catapulted into a whole different scene.

There’s no getting out of here until and unless a shift happens.

He is indifferent to pursuing his fortune – heck with that.

He waits for a chance to get out of the house, and ducks out.

Relax.  Your time will come.  Without any notice,  you will be on your

way.

It happened so fast, I slept through it and missed it.

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.

Eight of Cups

Wheel of Fortune – Four of Swords – Knight of Wands

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

.

Both Knight of Wands and Eight of Cups are outa there and on the road.  Knight of Wands is energetically and purposefully pursuing but Eight of Cups is an accidental tourist;  his being on the road is some kind of disruption, interference or shift. Knight of Wands is pursuing a career or course of action, whereas Eight of Cups is dropping out. (However, in other spreads, you may find Knight of Wands ‘getting out of Doge,’ fleeing.)

Both Wheel of Fortune and Eight of Cups are about a change or shift.  Wheel of Fortune is the opportunity, the chance, the lucky break that gets wonderful things started, gets you on your way, so it is most likely a chance for something good to happen; but Eight of Cups is simply the change or shift: It could go either way. Both Wheel of Fortune and Eight of Cups tend to be sudden change.

And of course there’s Four of Swords asleep at the switch, or waiting, or indifferent and unresponsive. Both Four of Swords and Eight of Cups are not going to: Eight of Cups is dropping out or taking a detour, and Four of Swords just isn’t interested.

Our story today is: What do we do with chance, change, opportunity, and strokes of luck? Do we miss the bus, or do we sail to glory? The advice implies that keeping an eye out for some beautiful thing will be rewarded.

LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES

.

Wheel of Fortune illustrates the idea that both angels and devils meddle in our affairs, making things happen or not happen. In the center of the roulette wheel of fate or destiny is the Name of God in Hebrew, interspersed with TARO (or ROTA? Or both?), and around the wheel and in the corners are various occult critters, some with books. In practice, Wheel of Fortune is the good luck card. It means ‘It happens,’ it means opportunity. This card and Nine of Cups are the ones you hope appear if you want something.

Four of Swords lies there doing nothing, is indifferent, does not respond or participate, sleeps through it all, is a couch potato or lazy person. Four of Swords is ‘time out,’ is on vacation, is taking a nap, is in an inactive or dormant phase. A person has no energy, is prostrate, is passed out or even in a coma. This Rider Waite Tarot card can also be about meditation or vision quest: The illustration shows a candidate for knighthood lying overnight on the sarcophagus of his church’s saint or hero. There is no resistance: Four of Swords is the Beatles’ song ‘Let It Be.’ Resigned to whatever.

Knight of Wands It is opportunity Knight of Wands pursues right now, represented by the Wheel of Fortune in our spread. He is in a hurry, and the pursuit is purposeful. He makes fast progress, gets ahead on the fast track. This is an energetic person. The illustration covers fleeing as well as pursuing; Knight of Wands can be either.

Eight of Cups An abrupt change that is not voluntary – of any kind. Changing direction, aborting course, dropping out, lucking out, encountering a shift. Be forced off the road, walk off, give up, disappear, quit (anything). Disruption. Deflected. Unexpected, without notice, sudden (anything). Many variations of this them for Eight of Cups. The illustrations shows a pilgrim (who intends to resume course) having to go around a mountain because that is where the road goes.
