Guidance Here’s a deceptively simple method: Be indifferent to, and do not have any participation in, the goings-on of self-interested people around you, in the same way you avoid evil spirits … because that is what they are. That way, you won’t get involved in cheating at work or on a loved one. To meditate, or to have your mind on higher things, is to not be there when the drek happens.

‘Group Tarot Cards Reading’ (just below this) is the actual word-for-word messages from the pictures of the three cards you see – to everyone. These readings are about you and the people around you. They are about today and the days around it. So, go ahead and pick the sentences you feel are yours and decide whether to encourage or reject them for yourself.

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 three pictures in the Tarot Readings – the pictures above here. It explains how these three 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 three 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 – and also the pronouns are more flexible. If it feels like it’s yours, and it says ‘he,’ and you’re a ‘she,’ feel free to adopt it anyway.

Eight of Pentacles – Two of Cups – Four of Swords

………………….
…………
………… In Tarot Verbatim™, Two of Cups takes that caduceus seriously; it is a symbol of spirits’ participation or influence in human affairs, potentially malefic. To its left is doing something, or work. To its right is not doing anything, lying down, or even sleeping.
…………………………. . Two of Cups could be titled ‘third-party participation’ or ‘hidden influence’ or ‘hidden interest.’ Some violation of trust is likely. The caduceus, as I said, is symbolic of an interface between humans and the spirit world. The broader meaning (application) of Two of Cups involves things like getting a cut of someone else’s efforts or money – as in mooching or bloodsucking or MLM; butting in; surveillance; a conspiracy; secret illegal activity; a hot love affair or sexual cheating; double-cross. Misbehavin’.
………………………….. Eight of Pentacles is work and anything related to it (employer, work site, worker, workingman, labor generally). It is also something you keep doing – the routine, regular activity – and activity generally.
………………………….. Four of Swords is not participating, not doing, sleeping or even being bedridden. It also means meditation, because the fellow lying on the coffin in the church is doing a ritual of knighthood which requires him to lie on the coffin and report his vision of his life purpose (as a knight) to the bishop. Four of Swords can be lying around, a couch potato, or lazy.
……….……….
………. Eight of Pentacles and Two of Cups Eight of Pentacles and Two of Cups combines working with doing anything behind-the-scenes or undeclared, or cheating, or being generally ‘up to something.’ Of course, these two Tarot cards also describe meditating regularly, having sex regularly, and even getting your proper sleep. Any sort of agenda at work, and any work that is sort of an agenda in itself – that would be Eight of Pentacles and Two of Cups.
………..……….
………. Eight of Pentacles and Four of Swords Eight of Pentacles and Four of Swords is lying down on the job, since it combines working and not doing anything. These two are advice not to engage in an activity, too. They also say ‘I still work here’ because the lying-down of Four of Swords is remaining in one place, which translates ‘still.’
……….………..
……….… Two of Cups and Four of Swords Two of Cups and Four of Swords describes not having an agenda, not engaging in deceit, not violating trust, and also living with those things without doing anything about it.
Between these lines there is advice to just tune out the shady deceitful side of life, both at work and in your personal life, and instead to tune into or meditate on spiritual consciousness. People who have an agenda or who interfere are like busybody bad spirits, we suggest. Be indifferent to low life by keeping your consciousness on high life – that’s it!

Eight of Pentacles ……… The carpenter at his work bench is busy making one artifact after the other with his tools, doing his usual routine in a workmanlike manner. All Eight of Pentacles’ meanings arise from these words and this concept. Work, worker, work place, workingman, labor, the usual routine, regularly, repetitive action, keeping (anything) up, being the one who does the hands-on work. It also means activity.
.
Two of Cups …………. This is not an obvious illustration. The caduceus – a lion’s head with wings, over snakes intertwined on a rod – symbolizes the covert participation of spirits in human affairs – and it’s not usually for anything good. You see it in ancient drawings, and there’s a Bible story about it accomplishing something – I think making births among a man’s sheep. It stands for almost any outside influence or covert control in your life: a mooch, a hot love affair, a conspiracy, taking advantage, cheating an employer or a loved one – anything at all in that sort of category.
.
Four of Swords ………. Four of Swords is ‘time out.’ A man lying on a coffin in a cathedral is doing a ritual required for knighthood. He meditates on his life purpose as a knight, and tells the bishop about it, who decides whether he is fit. (The story had better be good.) Four of Swords is inactivity, opting out, not doing, sleeping or resting (or even being in a coma), being lazy or being a couch potato.
