Guidance We are speaking both of giving up the unrealistic expectation that others are going to take loving care of us, and asserting ourselves in dealing with others in such a way they are obligated, by the rules of a fair exchange, to take care of us. In other words, there’s no free lunch anymore if you’re a grownup; ya hafta earn it somehow. And so does that loverboy or lovergirl of ours.
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?

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!

Stories galore. Romance (Six of Cups), putting it behind you (Six of Swords), being treated right (Six of Pentacles) and a mandate (got to) or ‘Assert yourself’ (Ace of Wands).
Got to pay your dues (Six of Pentacles + Ace of Wands) is featured. Six of Pentacles is paying fairly (and being paid fairly) and Ace of Wands is a mandate, ‘got to.’
You’re not a kid anymore, put the nostalgic fantasy life behind is featured in Six of Cups + Six of Swords. Six of Cups is the kid and romantic memories or notions; Six of Swords is putting something behind and heading off in another direction from there.
With Ace of Wands being ‘the most important,’ we say both that romance (Six of Cups) comes first, and that money (Six of Pentacles) comes first; and with Six of Swords meaning leave one for the other, we are also saying leave romance (Six of Cups) out of the number one category, and leave money (Six of Pentacles) out of the number one category. So we are counterbalancing love and money … again. Tarot seems designed to point this life choice out frequently. (It thinks we aren’t listening.)
So we are speaking both of giving up the unrealistic expectation that others are going to take loving care of you, and asserting yourself in dealing with others in such a way they are obligated, by the rules of a fair exchange, to take care of you. In other words, there’s no free lunch anymore if you’re a grownup; ya hafta earn it somehow. And so does that loverboy or lovergirl of yours.

LEARN TAROT BY PICTURES

Six of Cups Little Boy gives Little Girl Flowers. The lovely life of yore, our nostalgic good-old-days, the perfect childhood romance we cherish. The quaint old house that revives those feelings. And the life a grownup spoiled child expects to be gifted with by … someone, anyone. It’s expecting something because we have been so good … and grownups exist who still think that way, most of them female.
Six of Swords They are in a shallow open boat on a rainy day, headed on out without any cargo, paddled away by a friend. Life is going to be better because it could not get any worse, this illustration says. Six of Swords means things like putting it behind you, got to pay your dues, not anymore, headed in the other direction, get on with life, it’s time to leave, and leaving.
Six of Pentacles is about an exchange, about fair exchanges like paying your bills, getting paid or treated fairly, giving others their due, receiving medicine. The illustration shows laborers getting paid fairly … the employer is weighing the coins. It refers to legal processes because of the scales. It means ‘receive’ or ‘give’ too.
Ace of Wands A hand with a club in it clearly means force and dominance. The club is phallic, so the card refers sometimes to the male gender. Ace of Wands very frequently means ‘number one,’ and ‘the most important’ or ‘comes first.’ It means to win or overcome fairly often, too.
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.
