Guidance This spread is a call to action that says “All you have to do is make your mind up, and follow up with decisive action, and you get yourself out of whatever your bad situation is, and onto your health, success, and right path.” There’s nothing philosophical or theoretical or foo-foo about this; it’s where the rubber meets the road.

Instructions: 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’ is a summary of what the cards are generally advising visitors to be aware of that day. ‘Tarot Readings’ is the actual word for word messages the cards are conveying. Tarot can come up with a wide variety of sentences (sometimes even completely contradictory sentences!) in a group reading as there is no specific question being asked. So, go ahead and pick the sentences you feel are yours and decide whether to encourage or reject them for yourself.
Want even more insight and information about a specific situation in your life? Call me, Emily, at 1-800-993-6912 and talk to me personally and have yourself a live, in detail, Tarot Reading like no other you may ever have had before. Your call will support 500 acres of wild life in an animal sanctuary where I live and call home.
Also, don’t be shy about talking to the Community of Users in the comment section below. You’ll find this as the very last thing on this site. Trust me when I say we would *love* to hear from you!

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

Well, this is a morality play! To the left is ‘wrong’ and ‘sickness’ and ‘bad’; (Devil) to the right is ‘right’ and ‘perfect health’ and ‘good’ or ‘best’ (Ace of Pentacles). Between them is changing direction or switching at high speed, Knight of Swords.
And who is the Tarot citizen that crowns this picture of going from wrong to right, from illness to wellness, from poverty to prosperity? – well, willpower (Chariot), of course! Chariot is about decisive action, strategy, successfully managing a project or achieving an ambition. Chariot gets the job done.

Devil stresses how voluntary our chains are. The illustration shows a horned nude couple chained to the pedestal a horned and bat-winged nasty-faced hairy critter with the upside-down star on its head perches upon. The devil critter holds a torch upside-down, interpreted as ‘wrong use of force.’ |

Knight of Swords is in a big hurry going from one place to the other. Most often, he is pursuing, but he can be leaving, and he can be switching direction. It’s usually obvious which meaning is intended: Surrounding cards and the question indicate that. Knight of Swords is about change. |

Ace of Pentacles is the ‘straight and narrow’ or Right-hand Path, even the ‘Middle Way.’ Most religions have this analogy. It is ‘right,’ it is ‘the best,’ it is ‘perfect,’ and it is also profit, reward, success, and possession – including possession of the prize or a lot of money. Over a golden straight path is a hand with a huge gold coin. White lilies in front, and a victory trellis of roses at its other end complete the picture. |

Chariot is master of his environment. He is the project manager who is going to achieve the project one way or the other. Willpower is the definition of ‘magic’ in some occult circles. The illustration shows this strategist controlling the sphinxes – one of whom will go only left (That Left-hand Path again!) and the other, only right – with his magic wand. He hitches them in such a way they have to go straight, which is about using even the factors that are against what you want to accomplish, to achieve your purpose. This Tarot Verbatim(TM) card is about deciding, being decisive, and decision. Chariot gets the job done, no excuses. |

EXPLANATIONS:
Each and every ‘Tarot Reading’ sentence you see is a literal interpretation of the four Rider Waite Tarot cards drawn and pictured for today. (The literal interpretation is from the illustration on each card.) These sentences are put together by only combining the phrases of what each cards says. In other words, there are NO “filler” phrases added just to make full sentences, and no psychic ability or spirit guide is ever involved.
*Without a question* in a group reading to focus the answer, the four Tarot cards can mean quite contradictory things, especially when the Spread has a card that means ‘no,’ ‘never’ or ‘not.’ These negative modifiers can apply to any one of the other cards.
*Without a question* in a group reading, the pronouns (you, him, her, me, us, them, they, etc.) are more flexible. Whenever you see a pronoun in parentheses, please *feel very free* to substitute another pronoun than the one used. I try to drop pronouns when possible, which, if you’ve noticed, can make for awkward phrasing.
Now in an ‘real’ individual reading, the questioner asks a specific question and thereby supplies at least half the information! In an individual situation, the parties are identified and sometimes a time frame is too. Here, in a group reading we cannot do that and so we get a variety of sentences.
Horoscopes are group readings, too. Astrology is based on someone else’s birth data, though, so a ‘solar’ group horoscope never really solidly applies to you! (Astrologers know this!)
Tarot, on the other hand, is perfectly capable of flexibly addressing any group, including all of the visitors that come to this site. It can also address people you might not even know personally, such as all the people at your job who have a say in whether or not you get a raise.
We have been wondering here lately whether the Tarot Verbatim(TM) sentences are more accurate for regular visitors than they are for people who visit this site only once in awhile or for a short time. Would you help us with a comment please, if you have not been a regular visitor? Just let us know if the sentences are relevant to you. So far, people say they do apply.
Return to this site often and you can put all this together and intuitively see yourself how Tarot Verbatim(TM) works. Regular visitors actually learn to read Rider Waite Tarot cards with very little effort.
