Guidance Change grows out of the very circumstance that calls for change sometimes. Its time has come; the monster must retire. A problem situation, a troubling circumstance, can suddenly reverse. Recovery can surprise us as our ships come in right in the midst of our worrying ourselves sick about income. We are talking here about those ‘out of thin air’ godsends when it’s darkest before the dawn of light. Yes, things can change unexpectedly and fast, and ya never know ‘until the fat lady sings.’

LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING

Today is an excellent demonstration of how Tarot works, how you determine which of many possible meanings applies. If you are not interested in learning about this process, just skip or skim over this category today, because we are going in a little more deeply than usual.
When you see both Judgment and Knight of Swords, you sit up straight, because they both mean a turnaround, a sudden drastic change, suddenly, unexpectedly, a surprise, to return. They are both dramatic cards. Are they talking about one big shift of events or circumstances, or are they talking about a change and reverting to the former state, or maybe someone fell off the wagon and recovered again. See?
Judgment also means recover, to wake up and have a new life, to see the light, a big announcement or spoken word (to say), publicity, (even a loud noise, the horn). The sudden dramatic surprise is featured among its meanings: I mean, waking up the dead is a surprise.
Knight of Swords also means reversal, drastic, turnaround, speeding, in a rush or hurry, back and forth, get out of, flee or run away or leave in a hurry. But he can also mean pursue – not in today’s spread, though. Knight of Swords is you when you run away from home.
We look to the other two Tarot entities at our table for the rest of the story. Three of Wands tells us good things are coming, money is coming in, the future is a good one. Yay. That points our stories toward the changes being for the better.
Ten of Pentacles, therefore, is the ‘before’ picture and we are talking about a resolution or exposure or a leaving behind as to the trouble it represents.
Yes, you can take the Ten of Pentacles dysfunctional bunch of people and one of the ‘change’ cards, and say trouble pops up; but if you do, there’s still the other change card plus Three of Wands pointing to a desirable future.
Anyway, Ten of Pentacles is your messed-up relatives, the gridlocked company you work for, the low-class neighbors, the corrupt people in charge anywhere at any level, the troubles you have seen with the people where you have been.
Notice no one is doing in our story. Change grows out of the very circumstance that calls for change sometimes. Its time has come; the monster must retire. A problem situation, a troubling circumstance, can suddenly reverse. Recovery can surprise us as our ships come in right in the midst of our worrying ourselves sick about income. We are talking here about those ‘out of the air’ godsends when it’s darkest before the dawn of light. Yes, things can change unexpectedly and fast, and ya never know ‘until the fat lady sings.’

Ten of Pentacles is people in trouble, people who are causing trouble, family problems or family/families who are a problem, hereditary problem, and any mob, gang or criminal group including politicians and rogue police gangs. Dysfunctional or messed-up. low-class or perverted folks, family or culture (mores). It also means a house, including a house in disrepair, or the ghetto. You hardly ever find it meaning something desirable.
The illustration in Rider Waite of Ten of Pentacles is one of those lovely family meetings we all hope we die before it happens. Grandpa on his throne is petting the dogs, not caring about the ‘discussion’ the parents of his squalling grandchild are having. And of course the Mr. is staring into space, head turned away from her (kinda like grandpa) as his wife earnestly talks. You get the idea the lady is screwed. The house, the setting, indicates wealth. The attitude of grandpa attracts meanings for Ten of Pentacles about corrupt groups, and about corrupt authority. Very complex card, not the first one you look at for the meaning of a spread.
Three of Wands refers to future anything, to anything in the process of happening that is also continuing, and is usually a ‘good’ card. End of story, pretty much. It also means income, as in money coming in, ships come in, and so on. Very simple card. Look at it first.
Judgment is about a sudden change, a new phase, and also means recovery, publicity or spoken words or announcement (possibly loud). The angel’s horn is the big announcement, the word, the publicity, and the resurrection depicted by the folks standing up in their coffins means the rest.
Knight of Swords is also about a sudden (probably drastic) change. It refers to a reversal, drastic anything, turnaround, speeding, in a rush or hurry, pursuit or fleeing away, back and forth, get out of. Its meaning is easy to remember and easy to apply when you see that Knight in full armor flying on his horse against the wind. (By the way, horses don’t move that way!)
EXPLANATIONS: [Use the arrow at lower right to skip this and go to Comments.]
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(TM).
In these group readings, there’s no question (and no Questioner) to limit what the four cards can mean, so they can mean opposite things.
When there is a negative-meaning card (a ‘negator,’ I call them), the readings contradict one another because that card can make any of the other cards in the spread negative. Negator cards mean things like: no, never, not, end, can’t, etc. Never be queasy about the number of ‘bad’ card because it takes two bad cards to say ‘not dead’ and only one to say ‘dead.’
Without a question or a Questioner, pronouns (I, you, he, she, we, they, etc.) are very flexible. I leave out pronouns in writing this as much as possible – awkward to do that sometimes. When I put them in parentheses, feel very free to change them around to suit yourself.
Now in a ‘real’ individual reading, the questioner asks a specific question which provides at least half the information! In an individual’s reading, the parties are identified and sometimes a time frame is too. Here, in a group reading, we cannot do that and so we get more 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 want you to know this!)
Tarot successfully addresses the group of visitors, whoever they are. It provides useful information that applies to their daily lives: They tell you this in the comments, for three years now. Tarot can tell you things about people you don’t know personally – such as whoever on your job has a say in your raise or continued employment there, whether that is one person or many. Visitors report that the information is equally accurate for new visitors as it is for the family of regular visitors.
Do you want to read Rider Waite Tarot, yourself? Start with Learn Tarot by Pictures to get the day’s cards’ individual meanings; then read Learn Tarot by Observation, which gives you the thinking those four cards inspire in a qualified reader. Next, Group Analytical Tarot Cards Reading is the various things those four cards can say (without a question to guide them). Then, Guidance is a summary.
In this way, your intuition allows you to learn to read the cards without much effort if you come often enough. Regular visitors can just put it together.
