Today we are about sorrowful vision of how we humans make our own and others’ lives complicated, a visionary realization of our very own personal and individual place in this miasma, which we are regretting. These are some of the insights: *I am getting one insight after another about my failures in our mad society. *All these things that I think are all my fault … now I’m looking at the whole scene and it’s ‘all our fault.’ *Talk to the people who are the problem, and you will feel sorry for them. *I feel bad when I think of all the things I was involved in because of other people.

All these things that I think are all my fault … now I’m looking at the whole scene and it’s ‘all our fault.’
Talk to the people who are the problem, and you will feel sorry for them.
I feel bad when I think of all the things I was involved in because of other people.
Realize that when you tell people all your troubles, it gets them down.
I just wish these people would get along; I know each one so intensely.

Tarot Readings: Feeling Sorry, Feeling Sorrow (Five of Cups and Hanged Man)
I am feeling intensely sorry for all the people and all their troubles.
I feel so sorry about all their problems.
An intense feeling of loss and mourning about all my screwed up friends.
I feel sorry for all those people in bad neighborhoods.
I feel other people’s sorrow more and more.
Tarot Readings: The Dark Perspective (Five of Cups and Hanged Man)
My vision is we are all defectives in so many ways.
Realizing this is the ghetto and we are all losers.
Am hung over as I experience the neighbors’ quarrels.
My dark visions about us screwed-up humans.
In the middle of our spread is the insight, realization, intense feeling, vision, and perspective, Hanged Man, with Eight of Wands that intensifies (‘more and more) and pluralizes those meanings.
And to what does all this visionary realization refer? Well, Five of Cups is mourning a loss, feeling sorry and sorrow, loss and being the loser, failure, regret, feeling bad or down, being hung over (spilled wine, there), and the past or being haunted by the past. A black-robed head-bent figure contemplates the wine that is spilled and has its back to what is left. This card harkens to alcoholism on cue.
And Ten of Pentacles is all the rivalries, quarrels, family dysfunctions, political machinations and consequences, gangs and clans and mobs that human flesh is heir to.

Five of Cups This illustration, you know, is mourning a loss, feeling sorry and sorrow, loss and being the loser, failure, regret, feeling bad or down, being hung over (spilled wine, there), and the past or being haunted by the past. A black-robed head-bent figure contemplates the wine that is spilled and has its back to what is left. This card harkens to alcoholism on cue.
Hanged Man This pictures the disoriented feeling you get when a new level of awareness reinterprets familiar mental (and emotional) territory: You feel upsidedown, and your hair is on fire. Have you ever babbled on about some cliché everyone knows when you saw it in a new light? Yeah, that’s it! A thought strikes, an afterthought strikes (coulda had a V8). Hanged man is insight, realization, intense feeling, vision, and perspective. Hanged Man is ‘getting it.’ It is also the ‘turn you on’ of the Sixties.
Eight of Wands This card in Tarot Verbatim(TM) intensifies and pluralizes cards it influences. ‘More and more’ is one of its standbys. Each and every one, all, many. Quickly and its synonyms. Accretion, accumulating. It can be a list, too. I could think of better pictures to illustrate it, but what we have is the limbs one after the another flying through the air.
Ten of Pentacles Here a multi-generational family quarrel stands for all the rivalries, quarrels, family dysfunctions, political machinations and consequences, gangs and clans and mobs that human flesh is heir to. Grandpa on his throne. The dogs are on his side. Whatever he demands, the wife is trying to discuss with her man who stares into space and looks away: two against one. The squalling brat pulls at her clothes. We expand the power struggle into the human world’s ways, here.
