Guidance Our core study today, I think, is that our interior life has a lot more to do with *what we end up doing* than we are ready to admit even to ourselves. We do what we feel like doing … more than we want to admit. On a deeper level, we act from subconscious motivations that are submerged or suppressed within ourselves.
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!

Subconscious deep feelings are the actual wellsprings of action.
I am suppressing the voice in my gut that tells me to do (that).
There’s a voice in my head telling me not to do (that).
We are unaware, because we suppress it, that we just do what we feel like doing.
He isn’t going to do it until he gets that feelin’.

Talking you into it subliminally, because it’s something you would not do.
Subconscious motivation to keep myself from doing something.
Tarot Readings: Just Won’t Say ‘I Love You’ (Star + Four of Pentacles)
Just won’t let himself admit he loves (you).
He isn’t going to say ‘I love you,’ because, then, he can’t let himself act like he does.
He said ‘I love you’ before he knew it, and now he keeps himself from doing anything about it.
Not talking about how deeply I feel, just letting you do it.
He loves her, deep down inside, but he isn’t about to act that way.
He said ‘I love you’ before he knew it, and now he keeps himself from doing anything about it.
Tarot Readings: Isn’t Going to Do (Four of Pentacles + Magician)
Isn’t going to tell you (he) isn’t going to do it.
Isn’t listening to you talkin’ at him, and isn’t gonna do it.
Disregard the incessant talk (the gushing); it is her way of not doing it.
People who do don’t talk about it: Just assume that.
Ignore this person: ‘All talk and no action.’
Subconscious motivation to keep myself from doing something.
He said ‘I love you’ before he knew it, and now he keeps himself from doing anything about it.
All this talk about what you are doing, and you aren’t even here to do much.
Resisting acting out of some subconscious motivation.
Make light of his warm fuzzy speeches, or he won’t be doing any of those things he talks about.
Tarot Readings: Feelings Deep Down (Star + Four of Pentacles)
When she makes all these speeches, just don’t let it get to you.
I don’t know what to do, but I have a feeling, deep down, that everything will turn out well.
I don’t know how I really feel about that, but I got talked into doing it.
I am not there because I don’t enjoy doing that.
I don’t know how I feel about that, so I’m not letting myself get started.
Tarot Readings: Don’t Know What I’m Doing/What to Do (Fool + Magician)
Since I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m not running my mouth about it.
I didn’t listen to the instructions, so I have no idea what to do.
After all I said, I can’t admit I haven’t a clue how to get it done.
I don’t know what (they) said to do, so I am not doing it.
I don’t know what to do about my lack of good feeling.
I just can’t get worked up about things I can’t do anything about.
I just don’t know what to do, and I don’t want to talk about it either.
I didn’t tell you how to do it, but I’m not admitting that – not me!
Let’s not admit we did it, just blow it off when people talk about it.

Fool and Four of Pentacles are inwardly-directed and are refraining from activity. Both can also mean ‘blowing it off,’ not admitting it.
Fool is ‘not with us,’ not on the same page as Earth. Look for Fool to be open-minded, open-hearted, and just plain open. This can be out of being young and oblivious; it can be from a frisky mood; it can also be that a person is oriented to nonphysical realities and therefore immune to some commonsense considerations the rest of us deal with. (Yeah, that’s rare.) Fool can also be not on the same wavelength as the rest of us for many other reasons – even, say, senility. Whatever, whatever. Fool also is about optimism and faith.
Four of Pentacles, on the other hand, is shutting down his/her/its feelings and/or shutting out the world (or shutting out someone or something). Four of Pentacles is not talking or not admitting. Four of Pentacles is deep-seated feelings, or feelings we won’t admit to ourselves, or that we deny to outsiders. Secrets are its province.
Fool and Star are optimistic and are feeling good. These are upbeat folks whose outlook is rosy. They are in a groove, a happy groove. Nothing can faze them for now. Fool’s groove is more his essential nature, and Star’s is more whatever Star is doing, and is into, at this time. Star is, after all, singing in the shower.
Our remaining Rider-Waite Tarot citizen, Magician, just happens to contribute phrases that dovetail well with the rest of his fellow panelists’. For instance, ‘don’t know what I’m doing’ is Fool (don’t know) and Magician’s complex of ‘to do’ and ‘to make’ meanings. Likewise, ‘don’t know how I feel about that’ is Fool and Star (a lot of feeling). ‘Not going to let myself get started’ is Four of Pentacles (refraining from action, stifling oneself) and Magician’s meaning of ‘to start.’
Our core study today, I think, is that our interior life has a lot more to do with *what we end up doing* than we are ready to admit even to ourselves. We do what we feel like doing … more than we want to admit. On a deeper level, we act from subconscious motivations that are submerged or suppressed within ourselves.

Fool Fool is ‘not with us,’ not on the same page as Earth. Look for Fool to be open-minded, openhearted, and just plain open. This can be out of being young and oblivious; it can be from a frisky mood; it can also be that a person is oriented to nonphysical realities and therefore immune to some commonsense considerations the rest of us deal with … like not skipping off a cliff. (Yeah, that’s rare.) Fool can also be not on the same wavelength as the rest of us for many other reasons – even, say, senility. Whatever, whatever. Fool also is about optimism and faith.
Star feels great, is enthusiastic and optimistic; Star is singing or performing or giving a rah-rah sales pitch (call to action). It’s a happy groove and a rosy outlook, unfazed. Star is you getting talked into something, or talking someone into something. Star is the invigorated feeling that makes us sing in the shower. Star is also about good health.
Magician Guys do things. Magician is the male principle of action (of being active rather than receptive – opposite states in occult circles). So any form of the verb ‘do’ or ‘make’ or its synonyms … say, to bring about … is Magician. He is pictured with his arm raised about to bring about some event or action with his magic wand.
Four of Pentacles keeps it bottled up inside, doesn’t admit, feels deep down, keeps a secret, is shutting down his/her/its feelings and/or shutting out the world (or shutting out someone or something). Four of Pentacles is not talking or not admitting. Four of Pentacles is deep-seated feelings, or feelings we won’t admit to ourselves, or that we deny to outsiders. Secrets are its province. It’s also all about not having enough, being broke, being short of anything, and feeling inferior, or even being inferior.
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.
