Guidance     I know I don’t have to react to other people’s ignorant ways or join in their orneriness, and here are my reminders, in detail, of that. Our subject is turning yourself off, not participating, in the rude and nasty situations. We cover the flip side too: Make it a point to be with, interact with, and have relationships with people who are good for you, whom you are comfortable with. Here are some pithy advices from today’s readings: ‘Being very sweet to nasty people is one way to avoid associating with them.’ ‘If your partner in a romance is nasty to you, you’re not in a relationship.’ ‘I don’t scare, I just treat people as if they were harmless kids.’

Tarot Readings: How to Deal with People (Three of Pentacles)

You can deal with it the nice way, the rude way, or not at all.

I don’t scare, I just treat people as if they were harmless kids./

So impaired (he) does not respond to our gestures of affection, but that’s the way we treat (him).

A big mistake to deal with (them) if you want to be (their) friend.

Devil often makes interesting company, you know, just like in real life. Just watch, here.

Three of Pentacles and Six of Cups both occupy the relationship niche and the exchange niche. Three of Pentacles is any relationship, social or commercial. It usually brings up interesting parallels between the two whenever it appears. It refers to interactions, meetings, settling up. Six of Cups is a sweet relationship, close friendship or love (especially of long standing or long ago) and its exchange is more of a gift. It also harkens to home, as in ‘home sweet home.’

Right in the middle of these two getting along so well comes Devil, who is rudeness, nastiness – debility, sickness or impairment, including mental disturbances and addiction – mistakes, bad things, wrong things, problems and suffering. Bad feelings galore.

Four of Swords is the Tarot guy who reminds us that we don’t have to answer the phone or the door, that we don’t have to be part of what’s going on around us at all. We can just sleep through it. Don’t join in, don’t react to rudeness. He also means to stay or remain, to just be and let be. He is resting up, convalescing, taking time out or even retiring from something. He is on a vision quest in the Rider Waite illustration here.

Three of Pentacles is any relationship, social or commercial. It usually brings up interesting parallels between the two whenever it appears. It refers to interactions, meetings, settling up. It is about doing your part, fair and square, as agreed. The illustration shows a contractor or architect demonstrating, with the blueprint, to his clients, that he has completed his task per the agreement, and deserves to get paid now.

Devil There he is, the father of lies, the bat-winged horned and smarmy Christian Devil. This Tarot card means anything bad, wrong, sick, nasty, disabled or impaired or handicapped. Debility of anything, including situations and machines. Problems, mistakes, and just plain wrong. It is about mental illness, mentally disturbed (person or animal), about suffering of any kind, bad feelings of any kind. But it often simply means ‘attachment’ or ‘physical.’ It comes up as an attachment to documents.

Six of Cups The artwork is kitschy, nostalgic, romantic, along the same lines as the Knight of Cups’. Little Boy Gives Little Girl Flowers is about romance, love, trust, comfortable circumstances, sweet feelings, and any close relationship of long standing, or one from long ago. Six of Cups is about home, and being home-folks. And children, of course.

He is on a vision quest in the Rider Waite illustration here. It’s part of the knighthood ceremony – which tells you this card is of more recent origin than some others.
