GUIDANCE      Sometimes we know too much for our own good. Sometimes we are so much wiser than they that it’s best just to keep our mouths shut rather than rocking their comfy normalcy bias. Sometimes it’s about maturity: Your news is not fit to print upon their tender years. Sometimes it’s best to not answer impertinent questions about your personal business from conformists who pressure you to be like them. Today we meet a woman who keeps to herself and keeps her mouth shut, and we meet a man who has taken a vow of silence. Go thou and do likewise for this one day, we seem to be suggesting.

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 meanings of the three cards in the pictures in the Tarot Readings.  It explains how these 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 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 – than a personal reading would give you. Also, pronouns are flexible: If the sentence feels like it’s yours, and it says ‘he,’ but you’re a ‘she,’ well, it’s yours.

*AND if you write names of any two cards into the Google search bar, it will give you meanings of those!

Nine of Pentacles – Ten of Wands – Hermit

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

.

………………….……………………  Nine of Pentacles is staying put; Hermit is out on the road. Hermit and Ten of Wands are both on the road. Both Nine of Pentacles and Ten of Wands are handling what they are engaged in to the exclusion of anything else. Nine of Pentacles is waiting, and Ten of Wands is taking a long time. Nine of Pentacles is an expert, and Hermit is knowing – and learning too. Both Nine of Pentacles and Hermit are keeping quiet. So we have two people who are solitary who are not talking, and in between we have for a long time. We talk about staying home in comfort because it’s a hard road ahead, and we talk about taking the hard road, achieving expertise, and keeping the enlightenment to yourself.

………………………….. Nine of Pentacles is both an expert and a person who keeps to herself and minds her own business, unapproachable. She has a full life, she has hers … whatever that is … and she enjoys it in peace and privacy. Can you say ‘No drama here?’

…………………………..  Ten of Wands is overloaded, overwhelmed, moving slowly under the burden of all of it all at once. The going is hard but you will get there. What you took upon yourself … or it may have been foisted upon you … you are making slow, sure, and steady progress in. You have no room for another thing on your plate … too much to do already.

..…………….…………. Hermit is about being of service to people without fraternizing with them. Hermit has wisdom, knows the truth – and the facts – and keeps quiet in his solitary way. Several parallels between Hermit and Nine of Pentacles, but Hermit brings help and dinner and rest to others that he goes out to find, and Nine of Pentacles is not available … don’t call her, and she won’t call you. Both of these cards are knowing: Hermit is associated with spirituality, religion, medicine and counseling wisely; Nine of Pentacles is an expert in her niche, whatever it is, and is successful.

……….………….  Nine of Pentacles and Ten of Wands  Nine of Pentacles and Ten of Wands Nine of Pentacles and Ten of Wands are about being in one place for a long time, because Nine of Pentacles is staying privately in place, and Ten of Wands is a long time; and Nine of Pentacles and Ten of Wands are about keeping quiet, minding your own business, keeping to yourself because that is what Nine of Pentacles is doing, and doing that always and forever (Ten of Wands). These two cards also are about when you are too-anything … when you have passed what people will accept … it’s best to shut up and stick close to home. Nine of Pentacles is staying home, and Ten of Wands is depressed – which is another story about sticking close to home. Here are the sentences we get out of these meanings of these two cards:

SHE STAYS HOME

… be my own person for some time now.

Single for a long time.

She lives alone and has been _ forever.

She is a homebody; you have to go to the trouble to ….

_ is on the road a lot, and she stays home.

Her home-based business keeps her there.

When you _ too much, stick close to home and shut up.

When it comes to the whole _, you keep it to yourself.

A person who is too _ had best mind her own business.

She enjoys her single life, and she always will.

So depressing she keeps to herself.

Next we go into confidently waiting (because Nine of Pentacles is confident and is waiting, and Ten of Wands is an extended time and a delay, and a long time or time passing slowly – which also says for so long (Ten of Wands) I am confident (Nine of Pentacles). Here are those sentences:

Confidently wait for him to ….

… for so long I am confident now.

Ten of Wands means eventually, means long term, and means ‘still’ in the time sense of that word. Applying that to Nine of Pentacles phrases – her field of expertise; her place; and she has money – which is a bit of a grab bag, I realize, but it is all about the eventually/long term/still there continuum, we get these three sentences:

He will eventually … to her place.

Long term … is her field of expertise.

… she had money; he is still there.

There’s a contrast between Nine of Pentacles’ staying home in comfort and Ten of Wands’ long hard road. We glean these sentences from that contrast:

I’m staying here because of the long, hard road ahead.

… how difficult that road is, I stay home in comfort.

After a long hard … you keep it very private.

I am where I am because … when the going is hard.

Lastly, Nine of Pentacles is the expert, the occupier of a niche, a knowledgeable person, and Ten of Wands, in its ‘extreme of’ meaning, means ‘everything,’ ‘deep,’ and ‘you have much.’ This makes these sentences today:

She is the resident expert, knows everything.

Deep _ is so quiet.

Even when you’re the expert, you still have much …. x..

……….………… Nine of Pentacles and Hermit Nine of Pentacles and Hermit Nine of Pentacles and Hermit show a woman who is, and who lives, alone and a man who is, and who lives, along: two hermits, really. Two single people. Two people who are home-based as well, because hermit leaves the hermitage to bring travels who could use a warm meal and warm bed there. Hermit means being old too, and when Nine of Pentacles joins Hermit, together they can she ‘she is old.’ Hermit is patient, and Hermit is sober, so both of these, when these two cards appear together, say she is patient, and she is old. Here are those sentences in today’s spread:

She lives alone and is celibate.

I seek to be my own person.

We are both single.

She is a homebody; you go to her.

He is on the road, and she stays home.

It’s apparent her home-based business ….

Sees she enjoys her single life.

I am where I am because I am patient.

I am sober; I am confident now.

Being old, she keeps to herself.

Hermit is all about knowing and Nine of Pentacles is all about keeping quiet, keeping your expertise to yourself. Hermit is honest, and Nine of Pentacles is keeping it to herself. Hermit is learning, and Nine of Pentacles is the expert. Hermit is understanding and Nine of Pentacles is quiet. Nine of Pentacles is the expert, and Hermit adds the idea of something still to learn to that. Lastly, Hermit is medical and medical treatment, and Nine of Pentacles is a field of expertise. All of these are about knowing and keeping quiet about it, so here are the sentences:

KEEP QUIET ABOUT WHAT YOU KNOW

… a search for enlightenment, you keep the wisdom private.

When it comes to the truth, keep it to yourself.

A person who is honest had best mind her own business.

She knows; she is the resident expert.

When you know, stick close to home and shut up.

Understanding is quiet.

Even when you’re expert, you learn.

Medical treatment is her field of expertise.

Hermit knows and is on the road, so these two meanings combine with Nine of Pentacles’ staying home in comfort, to make these two sentences in today’s spreads:

Knowing how that road is, I stay home in comfort.

I am staying here because I know about the road ahead.

Lastly, Hermit comes to the other person. (This is a meaning of his to keep in mind, because it often combines with his being devoted to, being the best friend of, which says your best friend is devoted to you, and comes to help.) Nine of Pentacles is confident – she knows. Also she has money, so Hermit says ‘he comes to her because he knows she has money.’ Here are those sentences:

Confidently _ for him to find his way to you.

She knows he will come home to her place.

He came to her with the idea she had money. x..

………..………… Ten of Wands and Hermit Ten of Wands and Hermit Ten of Wands and Hermit combine ‘a long time’ or ‘long term’ with seeking, looking for something, being sober, coming to a place, knowing, being celibate, medical treatment, and ‘sees’ – which of course are Hermit’s meanings. This combination makes these phrases and sentences:

LONG TIME FACTS

I have been seeking for some time now.

Sober for so long.

Single for a long time.

He will eventually come to her place.

Knows he eventually ….

Has been celibate forever.

Long term medical treatment.

Sees … and always will.

Hermit is on the road. Ten of Wands makes that a long hard road, a difficult road, a road you have to go to some trouble on, a road Hermit is on ‘a lot.’ Ten of Wands is waiting, often; Hermit is him finding his way, so that gives us the ‘wait for him to find his way’ sentence.

I know about the long hard road ahead.

Knowing how difficult that road is ….

After a long hard search for enlightenment ….

You have to go to the trouble to go to _.

He is on the road a lot.

Wait for him to find his way.

Hermit is about the truth, about being honest, about knowing, and about understanding. Ten of Wands is ‘whole,’ arising out of its ‘all’ meaning; it means ‘too’ or ‘too much,’ and it means ‘everything,’ arising out of how he has taken everything upon himself. ‘Deep,’ in the context of ‘Deep understanding’ joins the ‘extreme’ meaning of Ten of Wands. These give us the following sentences:

When it comes to the whole truth ….

A person who is too honest.

Knows everything.

When you know too much ….

Deep understanding. x..

Detachment and being of service can go hand in hand. She is an expert in some niche she has achieved, and has withdrawn from the field otherwise, living alone in privacy, so she is very literally minding (only) her own business. He can be of service to others if he too is living apart and away from them, seeking them out in their hour of need and being otherwise not involved. Hermit is a paramedic, you could say, and Nine of Pentacles is a consultant. Each of them deal with some weighty matter this way.

She is her own person; she needs no one and doesn’t get involved – is noncommittal and impersonal.

.

Ten of Wands …………. Ten of Wands has undertaken the whole task, and is carrying the whole burden of completing it. It will take longer doing it this way … there may be a delay … but when it’s done, it’s done. And it will be done, Tarot says. Ten of Wands is about a lot of, or too much of, anything. Ten of Wands is slow but sure progress. Ten of Wands is being overwhelmed and sticking with it anyway. Ten of Wands is a strain.

He is out at night on the road in the snow, which can be taken literally, in whole or in part, in some of the contexts you inquire about.
