GUIDANCE Some fights and some struggles are worth the effort, and some aren’t. There’s fighting for your freedom, and there’s being free of a fight. Our underlying moral is ‘Pick your battles.’ Why be there for the pest’s scene? Be absent when the shit hits the fan. On the other hand, don’t expect the pest to be there when it’s time to be confronted, either! Save your energy for meaningful struggles, and proceed in your right-of-way lightheartedly past the flak.

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!

Seven of Wands – Three of Wands – Fool

……………………… To the left is the struggle, fight or confrontation, in Seven of Wands of course. To the right is freedom from it as well as blithely ignoring it, in Fool of course. And in the middle is time ongoing, to tell us, yeah, it’s always something. The two sides of Seven of Wands pivots our reading around, here. (See below.) What we are advising ourselves today is to make that distinction between something worth engaging in, and something worthy of being ignored.
………………………….. Seven of Wands is two-sided. Good idea to focus on the gut-feeling of many of these cards, because the same feeling that’s in the mouthy defective-unit humanoid when it gets in the way of progress or demands its handout is in the person who is mad-as-hell-and-won’t-take-it-anymore over some egregious intrusion upon his turf. So the invading neighbors in the illustration and the defending landowner have that riled-up emotion and that feeling of entitlement in common, and the card therefore covers both ends of the confrontation, battle or struggle. Nuances galore to Seven of Wands. I could write a Seven of Wands book … someday I will. Its phrases have quite a spectrum!
………………………….. Three of Wands, on the other hand, has few phrases and they are so clear. This is an anchor card for that reason. Anchor cards are ones whose meanings are fewer and clearer, so it pays to notice them first in your spread, and interpret the others around them. This saves time.
Three of Wands is future oriented, is future tense. ‘Will be’ and ‘going to’ are often its contribution to your sentence. His ship is coming in; he is watching it – nothing theoretical about something good upcoming. Income, profit, good times, something to look forward to, and reaping what you have sown (good or bad actually, but most applications are about benefits) are all Three of Wands.
………………………….. Fool is the most complex card. It is actually one of the deeply spiritual ones that are also complex (like High Priestess, Strength, Chariot, Ace of Cups, Wheel of Fortune, World and Two of Cups) but it also has a lot of froth to it. Today we are in its freedom mode and its ‘ignore it’ mode, adopting its tone of optimism as well. (Fool is another card I could write a book upon.) Fool has a damn-the-torpedoes philosophy to it. It represents the unconscious and is about not focusing on the earthly details, but keeping the mind open to ‘out there’ – to spiritual realities and processes.
.
Now we show where each of the phrases in each of the sentences comes from:
Tarot Readings: What, ME fight? (Seven of Wands and Fool)

Part of the recipe for getting where you’re going, or getting ahead, is to keep your mind off the distractions. We are always talking about ‘Keep your mind on the business at hand,’ but today we are considering the obverse: Ignoring the incoming debris.

Seven of Wands … Seven of Wands shows his neighbors invading a person’s land by surprise, and him defending against the odds. He is expected to win. In agricultural areas, this scenario isn’t uncommon, especially when a man dies and a woman inherits a ranch or farm and all its equipment. (Ask me how I know!) So Seven of Wands is about defending, being defensive, about a personal struggle, and even about fighting for a cause, or standing up for something you believe in, when its meaning expands.
Tarot cards’ meanings are any aspect of the scene pictured. A bully card can be referring to being bullied, for example. Here, Seven of Wands can refer to ‘you’ confronting someone, you getting on your soapbox and missionarying about a cause, you making a push for something or applying pressure, you on the attack, you insisting.
So Seven of Wands can be the underdog or the power-monger that made him the underdog, either one.
.
Three of Wands …..Three of Wands is your ship coming in – is the future, income or profit coming in steadily, good times ahead, and things are looking up based on what you have done already. Three of Wands indicates a course of action will pay off, too. This is not a one-time lump-sum, usually; this is a cash flow – accent on the flow. Three of Wands is one of the cards that puts your sentence into future tense. It often translates simply ‘will,’ ‘will be,’ ‘upcoming,’ ‘ahead’ and synonyms of those words.
.
Fool Fool is mind, as in ‘Oh, never mind’ and ‘open mind.’ It represents the unconscious. It is about having no ties, being free, not thinking about or being unconcerned with, and it is a very optimistic card. Reminds you of the slogan ‘God protects fools and drunks’ because Fool leads a charmed life: He and his dog will not go over that cliff they are not noticing.
Fool means to assume, to blithely ignore an important factor (as in to be dense or ignorant). Fool also refers to intentionally ignoring something … so it will go away.
Fool also means ‘to not be there,’ to be absent or AWOL, to not show up.
