Building a story means using cards in different ways with different questions even if the cards are the same when you do the draw. Let's give it a go.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey everyone, I'm Dorothy. Welcome to Tara Crazy the Beginner's Series.
We're going to head on a few cards and how
to read them. But more importantly, I want to show
you that the inference or the emphasis or the nuance
with the same cards drawn in the same way with
(00:24):
different query, how it alters. Now, your card's got to
core energy, that is the image that it's created with,
and it doesn't actually have a meaning per se. So
there'll be a few keywords that along with the image
direct your intuitive response, direct or energetic response, your emotions,
(00:45):
your memory, all of these things are your glossary as
a reader. One thing that really will always make it
difficult to understand your cards is pre biased or predetermined
queries yes or no queries. We've already talked about that.
I'm not talking about that today, but it really will.
(01:05):
And then there's that altering thing that a lot of
people that are learning do, a lot of students do,
is where the cards they don't quite understand them, so
they alter the question by the way that they answer
or interpret the cards. And I'm going to start with
that today. So the question was and it's a legitimate
(01:27):
question that was asked, is what action is she going
to take towards me? Now it's not a year no query,
so that's a really good thing, but it predetermines she's
going to do something as opposed to nothing, and that
makes it a difficult query to answer for. Not to interpret,
(01:48):
you're going to need to ignore some cards because they're
just going to be irrelevant, and there would be the
better way to ask about that would be to gnor
that person completely in the query if you can, that's
self discipline, and then simply ask about romance and love
going forward over the next say, three to five months.
(02:11):
That if you don't get anything really positive or big
happening in there, that is your answer. But it will
also probably be really accurate as soon as you say,
what is this person going to do?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
And they're going to do nothing?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
That is actually if I hope you can understand how
that kind of doesn't work right, So it's not really
the way to go about it. Having said that, I
considered when I looked at the drawer that it was
a good draw and the person had done a pretty
decent interpretation. There was the sun out first, I just
ignored it. It's like you wish for thinking hopeful whatever
(02:48):
it is, I just ignored it. At the very end,
there was another major arcana. I can't remember what it
was because I just ignored it as well. And I
saw the three what I and this is my intuition.
This is how I read cards. If I'm laying out
the cards myself, then I lay them with purpose. If
they're not laid with purpose and with open ended aspect,
(03:13):
that is to say, we're looking at everything here. Even
if you ask a question everything related to that question.
I'm clearvoyant and I see auras. So the burden of
being able to read other people is definitely on me.
It's not going to be in the cards, though, and
it's not going to be in the person asking the question.
If I read them in relation to the ex or
(03:37):
what's going on in their relationship, without reading the other person,
I'm never going to get accuracy. And that's a reality
check because naturally a person wants one thing or the other.
Even if they want to get rid of a partner
and it hasn't been good for a while, there's a
moment where they kind of hope that the other person's
loving them, thinking about them, going to call them, and
(03:58):
so you know this touch and go period of time
reading for yourself during that time means you need to
be scrupulous and how you ask your question. So I
ignored the first major rkana in there, and I ignored
the second one, which was at the other end, and
I read the three cards that were in between them,
and there was the ten of Ones, there was the
(04:20):
four of pinch Calls, and there was the Night of
pinch Calls. And as soon as I see those cards
and I read them, I read the Night first. For him,
it wasn't my draw, it was his draw. But he
came up with his interpretation, which was, she's got feelings
for me, but she's going to hide them. But I
(04:41):
don't see that. I don't think she's going to get
in touch with me. So he kind of hit the
right bases there. But at the same time, I think
he knew that anyway. So they've had a conversation and
she's ended the relationship clearly, and so she may or
may not have described very well why she did. But
these moments I hope they changed their mind as part
(05:03):
of the energy of the reading, and that's why the
questions get a bit skew worth. So I want you
to think about that. Now we've got this is the
question what action is she going to take? And my
first emotional mental response, without even looking at the cards
was none. She's not going to take any so I
need to ignore anything that makes it look like she
(05:24):
may do something. So it was the Lovers at the end.
So he's read the Lovers as she's got feelings. It's
got nothing to do with feelings. The Lovers is about choices.
She's made a choice. So I didn't want to rub
it in there, and I didn't want to rub in
the optimism from the sun either, So I thought I'll
leave those two a side and just read the Four
of Pinnacles, the tina Ones and The Night of Pinacoles. Now,
(05:44):
the tina On's it was the first one out of those,
but I read the Night of Pinacles first because this
is a slow, steady card. But it's also a card
where a person does something they may not want to do,
or the it isn't comfortable to do. In day to
day life, it would be these are the chores you
(06:05):
have to do. You've got to do the dishes, right,
She's got to sweep the floor. There's no real reward
for that, but you know you feel better for having
done it. That to me, if that was the owner
car drawn, I would have ended up where he ended
up with, don't expect you to come your way. But
I also would have looked at it as here's the reason.
Most people will try to say why, and on half
(06:25):
the time I'm like, you don't really want to know why,
because why it's going to make you feel worse, not better.
So he decided she was hiding feelings, but I'm saying, no,
she's not hiding feelings. If she's hiding anything, it's the
fact that she feels good about the choice she's made.
So the night of pincourse, a person just moves slightly.
(06:46):
She knows it's going to be a transition. She knows
it's going to be a change. She knows it might
be challenging here and there, emotionally challenging, even because even
if you want a relationship to end, even if you're
you're happy for it to end, there's any emotional switch,
the emotional charge that happens. There's that sitting at home
of an evening and then thinking, gee, I wish I
(07:06):
could just keep this person. There's time not being filled.
It's the biggest challenge when people quit smoking, by the way,
it's time not being filled instead of being productive with
that time. Some people just sit there and think about
what they could be doing which they used to be doing.
Think about that if you ever give up smoking. So
there is your night Night of Pintercols. Then I moved
into reading the Four of Pinnacles, so I read it
(07:29):
from the night back, but he drew it from the
Ten of Ones down to the Night of Pinacles. So
I read the Four of Pinnacles because the four of
Pinnacous is an interesting card. Now it can actually be
holding on too tight kind of a card, but it's
got a good side. Every card's got a good side.
Every card's got both sides. In fact, they're flipping of
(07:51):
the coin. It can be a card. I'm going to
hold onto this good feeling. I'm going to hold onto
this I'm not going to let anything disturb it. It
could be I'm not going to let anything ruin my freedom.
I'm not going to get let anybody or anything take
anything from me.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
It's that kind of a card.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
That's the foor of Pincha Cales And in the Victorian Taro,
I've created a jewelry box, and in the jewelry box
there's a bit of jewelry spilling out over the side
and its beautiful filigree around the edges of it. And
because it can be holding on too tight, it can
be jealousy because of that, but it can also be
holding on to what you've earned, what you've acquired, what
(08:30):
you've gained. And I felt in this reading that she
was not going to let anybody or anything disturb what
her gains are, to upset her gains, or to try
and take them away from her. So if I was
advising him, which it wasn't, I was just reading the
cards for him, helping him with that. If I was
advising him, I would have said, if any attempt that
(08:50):
you make to try and engage her, you may find
she gets a bit volatile, or she may push hard
back at you because she wants the space and she's
happy to have it. And that comes through with our
night of one, a night of pintacols as well, having
that four of pinacols together. Those two cards they indicate
(09:12):
I'm doing the work, getting where I'm going.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Now leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
There's that kind of energy with those two and it's
not rude, and it's not negative because when we are
trying to reset ourselves, when we're trying to rebuild a life,
when we're trying to move forward from something, then very
often we have to husband that, don't We We have
to protect it from other people. You might think so
with the Internet, with everybody going, oh, my heart's been broken,
(09:37):
but actually they don't. Those are the people that the
least thing that's happening is their heart is actually genuinely
being broken.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
They just mostly didn't get what they wanted. The people who.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Are really struggling tend to withdraw from the Internet, but
they tend to post things that aren't so obvious as
I'm struggling and I feel sorry for me. Let's have
a pretty party, and then we've got the ten of ones,
which he drew first, and the ten of ones. There
was another person who commented that clearly the relationship was
(10:08):
a burden for her, and it's not a bad interpretation
of that card. But again, it's always hitting that one thing.
It's like I got what I wanted, and yet I
was still unsatisfied.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
As how I would read it in.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
This relationship style, when we get what we wanted, that
teen is always I got what I wanted, and all
of the tens I got something I was working for,
trying for.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
This is the top tier. And if I'm not happy here,
what now?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
And I don't know if you've ever been in a relationship,
but you may have where you've been in a relationship
it's felt pretty good. And you're sitting there one day
and you're looking around and you're thinking, Wow, is this it?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Have you ever done that? I have? You know? Is
this what it's all about? Oh? Maybe not, Maybe this
isn't what I wanted.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
After all, there's your ten of ones, the ten of ones,
and there particular situation, she will be feeling free. And
that's the connotations of this card when it's pulled with
the four of Pintacols and the Knight of Pincols. I
look at that as going, you know, I'm feeling like
(11:16):
I've freed myself from whatever I got that I wanted,
only to find that I didn't really want it, and
so now I need to undo that. And we have
many times in our lives where we think we want something,
can we get it? And we have to undo it
that pure genes that you actually don't like that much
or don't wear or they don't fit properly, whatever it
(11:36):
might be, from major to minor, that ten of ones
is apparent in a lot of our lives, getting what
we wanted, going for what we wanted, and the harder
you work to get it, and I don't mean the
harder you work, I should say, the more you manipulate
to get it, the more you shimmy around or make
an alteration of yourself to get it, the more freeing
(11:57):
it is to unburden yourself from it. So it's a
card of burden, but it's a burden of achievement, these
obligations that you may not be prepared to go, or
you're having fun, and then the other person mentions marriage
and kids, and you start thinking, oh no, no, no, no, no,
that's not where I'm going. So I'd better get out
of here before I get caught up in that, before
it gets too much of a struggle, before.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
It gets too heavy.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
This is a card that, if it was drawn into
the right query, the ten of ones I'm talking about,
you might say, you know what you need to lighten up.
You might need to unload, get rid of a burden,
get rid of the load you're carrying. It can be emotional,
it can be real things. It can be a relationship,
it can be obligations and duties, and it is sometimes
(12:43):
about being weighed down, but other times it's about getting
what you want and then just not wanting it, not
being satisfied with it, or realizing, you know what that
wasn't actually what I was after. So quite a powerful
thing to look at. So if you've got these cards,
grabs them out. That's the four of pincha calls the
tina Ones and the Night of Pinacles, with the Tin
(13:03):
of Wanes being first for a pincacle, second, the Night
of Pinacle third, and if you wanted to, you could
put the Sun, which was the actual first card, and
then that was like the Sun with the four Appentacles, sorry,
the Sun with the tina Ones and the four Pentacles,
and underneath that they had the Night of Pinacles and the.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Lovers. It was the last card out.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Now, if I was to read the Sun in there
with the four Pentacles is appearing, I would say, you
know what, you might keep thinking that something's going to
be different this time, something's going to change, something's going
to be improved. You're going to be improved, but it's
just not going to happen because whatever it was your
expectation was, because the four pinacles now becomes an expectation.
(13:49):
You might have thought, this person makes me happy, They're
going to make me happy, and then what about them?
Right when the question isn't about them? Or if you
go to that sun and you've got the ten of
wands beside it, we've got exactly what I want. I
thought this would make me deliriously happy. Only I realized
that's just not the truth. The learning, the life lesson
(14:10):
only comes with the sun and with the lovers. So
with the sun, it's like every time to me, I
would always go every time you go in naive, you
go in highly optimistic, you go in too hard, too fast,
too much, over and best, and the next thing you know,
everything's falling down around your ears. That's not for this reading,
because he was asking about somebody else. But if it
(14:31):
was for him in that situation, if it was in
a work situation and I got the sun, and again
this is going to change with every person to a
certain degree. But if I got the sun and I've
got the chain of ones, let's say it's going to
be a very demanding job, and you might be really
happy to get the extra fifty grand a year or
sixty grand more a year, whatever that salary is, or
(14:51):
more hours or less hours and more money.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
You're really happy to get that. But the demand is
going to be high.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
It's going to be a job with the depending If
I was reading it, i'd be more specific, but as
a generalization, you're going to find they want more hours
from you than you thought you would have to give.
The expectation will be there, or they will have deadlines,
and it's a highly demanding job, and so on and
so on. So you're going to find that you're weighted
down by the obligation of that. That doesn't mean you
can't enjoy the job, if you're just your thinking. If
(15:21):
we go then for a job or careers, and we're
looking at the Nine to Pentacles coming into that, we've
got the Ten of Ones with the Night of Pentacles
and the Sun, and it's a person with their job
and they're asking about how the job's going to go.
That suggests to me that you're going to be given
all the crap jobs. You're going to be given all
the jobs nobody wants to do, and that's that night.
(15:42):
I'll do all the chores. I'm a great support person.
I'll fill up the staplers, I'll clean up the office.
I'll do all of that along with my work. They
may expect you to have a broad range, or they
may expect you to do the nuts and bolts and
not leave it for other people. So a pretty important
card when it comes to career. It's about fastidiousness, it's
about detail, it's about getting it right. It's about doing
(16:05):
the job, even the parts you don't really like. So
you might find that you personally not the job itself,
have aspects that you don't really enjoy, and there might
be a lot of them in this job. So you
might like filing, for example, and there might be a
lot of that. Or you might like going to meetings
and there might be a lot of that. So that
night's definitely got the practicality is going on. And then
(16:28):
of course we add the four of pinchcolls in there,
and that could be that you know, I don't get
paid to do that could be that part of an
attitude in a job, and that'll be in conflict, I
don't get paid to do that. This is just too
much that's the ten of ones and the night's going,
you know, and it's menial. I've got to do all
of this stuff that I think I'm too good to
be doing. So when you start putting that nuanced together
(16:51):
for a different type of query, you get a whole
different thing going on. If you were to look at
those same cards again and you want to to apply
them to, say, my finances over the next six months,
the Sun would be sort of suggesting to me that
you might need to be thinking twice about what you're doing.
If you just want to enjoy yourself, you can be
(17:13):
perhaps a bit naive and how you spend money. And
again it's a life lesson. It's a harsh lized lesson
if you get into trouble. But this is only because
it's next to the TENA wants. Remember that part. Okay,
so you're reading two cards together. We've got the Sun
and the Tina wants. The Tina WANs. It's weighty. It's heavy.
So if I don't want to get into too much debt,
(17:35):
I need to think at the beginning, it's no good
if it's just fun spending money. If I can't pay
my rent or my bills or whatever it is, at
the end of.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
It, there's no fun in it.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
And quite often an individual asking about finances in that
way may spend money on incidentals, on things they don't want,
on things they don't need, simply because it makes them
feel good to spend the money, or it makes them
feel magnanimous, or it gives the impression of being more
well to do than they are, and so they're not
spending money on items of value either. As an example
(18:05):
of that would be a person who gets a reading,
just so as we're clear on that, who might do
better spending their money on doing a personal development program
or even a session, or going and having an energy
session as opposed to getting a reading. I've done so
many readings for people who immediately you can see it's
(18:25):
not a reading.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
They need.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
They need to create some fundamental change in their life.
And they're not reading junkies. It's just that they don't
know what else to do. They're backed into a corner,
and rather than making a choice of spending their resources
on doing something to unburden themselves, they compound the issue.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
They make it worse.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
So what if we were to talk about business, Say
you're developing a business, or you're thinking about a strategy.
I think it's also important to stay here that if
you don't have a genuine intention, this isn't something I'm
going to do, it's just something I'm tossing around. Terror
cards won't help you. You can't divine something that is
never going to be. Yes, just can't be done. And
(19:08):
you can't read the negative either. I'm not talking about
positive negative, it's you can't read the absence of something.
You can only read something that can be or as
likely to be, and then how is it going to be.
But if there's no intention, it's like if I get
a good reading I think I might invest a couple
of grand and setting up a business, then no, you're
(19:31):
not going to get a good information for that. But
if you've already started something, or you have a genuine
intention and you've got a plan, it's a great way
to start looking at that plan and strategizing. So we
say we talk about setting up a business, and again
we've got the sun, and we've got the Tina Wand's.
That sun and that Tina Wan's is going to keep
bringing us back to you know what, This might be
(19:53):
a bit heavy. You might find that you get in
over your head a bit, or you might find that
it's a deeper experience then you thought it would be.
It's not as much fun, but you will find it's
worth it. We can go that way with it as well.
You do need to watch yourself at the beginning that
your expectations are not too high, because in the Victorian terror,
(20:14):
I created this card as success by the way I've
called it success. But in the image there's a ladder
and there's a shadow of a person when he looks
like they're wailing.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
And then of course there's defense.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
And the biggest, most ignored part of this card, which
was not drawn by Arthur Waight, it was redone by
Arthur Wight. He completely ignores the brick wall in that
the baby and the horse. The baby can't control that horse.
Things could get carried away, right. But there's a potential
for success in this card, but there's also with every
(20:50):
potential for success, there's a potential for failure. And there's
a potential for spectacular failure if you are over invested
in the result, if you're overly optimistic, if you exaggerate
the possibilities and potentials, or if you don't factor in
see that white horse, no rains baby on board if
you don't factor in the ability for things to get
(21:11):
out of hand, if you don't take them one step
at a time. So that could be don't go on,
don't take too much on too fast thirteen of one's reminding.
But it could also be that fence, there's the sunflowers
behind it, there's the sun behind that fence. It's a
big brick fence, and the baby can't see it. The
horse isn't looking at it yet. It's walled away from them.
(21:32):
So it says, you know, if you want the success,
if you want your dawn in the sun, there's probably
something you need to do. It's not going to just happen,
and you need to do it in the best possible way.
Be excited, be optimistic, but remember that there's obligations with
everything that you do, with all of your investments. That's
those two cards together, so it can be acted out
(21:53):
as a reminder.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
It's not a warning.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
It's only a warning if you're overdoing it already, and
the warning is you keep doing what you're doing, then
it's a warning before you've even started.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
But your intention is to start.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
It's a reminder that if you do things in a
way that you can afford, that are comfortable for you,
if you put the right amount of time into it,
and your expectations aren't too high, if you don't think
you're going to make a million dollars in the first
six months, if your expectations aren't too high, you will
diligently work towards your goal, and success could be yours
before you even understand that. You need to understand what
(22:27):
is success. So a lot of people, it isn't the money.
A lot of people, it's the job itself and being
able to support themselves doing something they love right, And
a lot of people it's that other people it's like
I want to go out and I want to feed
people because I really get a lot of joy out
of that. I'm not too fussed about how many hours
(22:48):
I work, So they could work sixteen hours a day
because they enjoy feeding people. Then another person might like
a nine to five job, and success is having a
job that pays them well enough that they can start
work at nine, leave at five, and leave it all
behind them because.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
They're not invested in a career.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
They're not invested in the next stage of being responsible
for other people and so on, and so understanding that
element of the ten and the sun, putting those things together.
That success can only come into play in the area
that you think success lays.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
And if you get.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
There and realize, well, you know what, I'm getting the
money and the big company, I've got the title, and
my life is boring because you're there eight hours a day, minimum,
eight hours a day, five days aweight a week. Being
bored is absolutely horrible, by the way, it's just horrible
for a lot of people. It's nothing worse than that
(23:43):
level of boredom. So that's the kind of thing you're
looking at. If we want to put the nine to
pinnacles in there again, we're saying take it one step
of time, do what you've got to do. It's all
very well to have the fun parts, but you also
need to do what you've got to do, even if
you don't want to do it. And that can be
extra hours, right, that can be I've got to work
(24:03):
my job that pays me every day every week and
do this after that job's finished at the end of
the day, taking my eight hour day up to a
fifteen hour day. To establish this business without the pressure
of money, so without burdening myself. So that burdening card
is still there, that tena once is still there. If
(24:24):
I want to make this work, I need to do
it the correct way. And at night is like, it's
not always fun, it's not always exciting. Sometimes you just
got to do the boring bits. It's you've got to
do those bits because that's what every business entails. Is
always going to be a part of that there. And
when we start recognizing the nuance of just these three
(24:46):
cards five if you want to count that son, that
lovers is a card of choice. It doesn't matter where
it pops up. So what he did do wrong when
he was reading his cards was he gone from what
action is she going to take? And when he he
was trying to interpret it, he turned around and he says,
I think she feels blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
But that wasn't even close to the question.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
He was trying to fit a card into what he
believed it meant, which was the lovers. It's got to
be about romance, got to be about feelings. It's not
that the feelings are the hearts. The feelings are the
cups right, the water cards are feelings they're not about
romance either. You can have a good feeling about that
(25:27):
next job, can't you, And that would be the Cups.
You could have a good feeling about what the next
day is going to bring and feel quite up about that,
even though you've got no reason to have a good
feeling about that. It's just a feeling you've got, right,
So the cups or the Hearts or water cards are feelings.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
They're not even emotions.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
They can be, but until they're aligned with something else,
with another card, with another.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Aspect to provide context.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
It's certainly not about love, and the Lovers is definitely
not about love. The Lovers is quite interesting because when
you look at the major arcana and you go back
to Elifus Levi's interpretations, and you go back further than
that as well, because he's early eighteen hundreds, by the way,
he was an older man by the time right Arthur
Waite was translating his books. And Arthur Waite translated Elifus
(26:20):
Levi's books. He researched aalia and he quotes what he
learned about them, and he even talks about in his
pictorial key that there weren't picture cards for the minor
Arcana and now I see people just all of a
sudden in the last year or two arguing over why
people read playing cards like Teri cards, and because they
(26:44):
originally were that's what they were where That's all that's
been done is a set of images have been added,
but there weren't really those around prior to Arthur Waite's
interpreting because Italia and I've never seen any real official book.
I've only seen books written by others about him, but
A Life as Levi talks about him and his books,
(27:05):
and he wrote over thirty books book which we never
have written, and there are copies that have been scanned in.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
He was the Kabala guy.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
He was training to be a priest a minister of
the church, thought they were full of it, and converted
to Judaism and changed his name to A Life as Levi.
So when we understand that's where that Cabbalistic notes come,
that's where the Hebrew comes from. It wasn't there before.
So they are an evolution. There are a change of things.
(27:34):
But if you don't understand the tree of life, which
has the ten attainments, by the way, it's just quite
profound that we moved through and around and about those
Hebrew letters don't mean anything to you. They're just things
on the card, aren't they? And so understanding the elements
about and around that there were never any sun signs
(27:57):
applied to them, you know. So that's more recent as well,
a bit older than the last couple of years. But
people trying to fit the cards into their model of belief,
and it doesn't really.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Work very well.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I just see a lot of confusion out there, whole
lot of confusion. So when we come back to nuance
and energy exchange and understanding your query in relation to
the cards, it takes a little bit more time. And
when you are learning, I've seen this a lot lately.
What did you guys do to learn your TEARO? We
worked at it hard. People would not pay you if
(28:32):
you were not good. There was no I got my
cards three years ago. I've been playing around, I mean
tinking around.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
I want you to pay me for readings. It just
isn't done that way. It never was done that way.
Why would you pay somebody who isn't anywhere near mastering
the craft they're trying to charge you for. That's all
I got with that one. So when you understand the
nuance for the same cards being read in different ways,
you don't fall into a trap of trying to fit
(28:59):
the card into a model.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
He had it kind of right.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
He knew that it wasn't going to go anywhere, whether
he got that from the cards or he already really
did know that. One of the things, though, that was
really obvious, was one card in there. He wanted to
turn it into feelings, which threw the whole reading out
and left him confused. She isn't hiding her feelings because
she's already ended the relationship. So it makes no sense,
(29:25):
does it. So when you come up with a commentary
and a narrative, and when you look at it properly
in regards to what has happened and the cards and
the interpretation again the query, if it doesn't make sense,
it's because something's gone a bit of rye in there.
Either you're lying to yourself, or you have a bias
(29:45):
in the query, or you are prejudicial in your interpretation.
One of the interesting aspects of all of this is
that word nuance.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
When you get.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Those three cards or those four cards, there's only s
eight cards in a troo.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Dick, my.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Terror off asterisms has eighty eight because there are eighty
eight asterisms. Otherwise you could call them constellations, but they're
actually the big squares that you find them in. They're
a piece of the sky is the constellation, and the
asterisms as the group of stars. So when you are
looking at range and you're looking at building a story,
(30:28):
when you lay out your cards, whether you use a
proper layer or not, and I say proper because there
are proper layouts. If you're not understanding what that layout
means and how the cards interact, the chances are you're
not going to read them correctly either. I had a
girl talking to me. She'd done a GT and she's like,
I just don't understand how this works with that she'd
asked a very specific question about her and this other person. Right,
(30:51):
So I read the two lines going to this other person,
and both of them incorporated this or that. It's not
the best way to read normal. But at the same time,
you don't read thirty six cards. So she's read somewhere
that it's got a fate line and the layout that
doesn't have a fate line and the layout, And the
problem is if you read that, suddenly you've added an
(31:13):
element that just won't make sense, and she couldn't make
sense of it because of that. She says, Oh, but
the fate line sees, and so she's reading things that
are completely not even related to the part she wants to.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
But I'm going to go a stage further.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
In the original Game of Hope, when they first called
it Le Normond, it came out in the eighteen hundreds.
She died in I think eighteen seventy somewhere in there.
It came out within three months. The Game of Hope
what she used for the picture cards, and she used
the playing cards for her what we would call a
minor o cana, but just regular cardomancy playing cards. She
(31:49):
used two sets, right, so that was okay, and they
capitalized on that, and as soon as she died, they rebranded.
They still sold the Game of Hope, but they rebranded
the picture cards to normand and they took the playing
cards and put them on the cards. Now, the size
they were always small because they were made for ladies
and ladies just didn't do big with their hands. And
(32:10):
so when they did that, they also had a little
weed description of meanings that they applied. It has nothing
to do with ma'moiselle normand so they decided that, but
it was in relation to the game, and they were
quite freaky actually, but they basically were very clear that
if the snake is way over here and there's a
(32:33):
key between it and the snake, it cancels it out.
And so there was a lot of that discounsels it
out that makes that take longer. You don't read thirty
six cards, So if you had to read thirty six
cards every time in their order and how they come
out would be primary, don't you think so, Just so
as we understand that that people dive in with these
(32:54):
elements because they are trying to stamp their mark on it,
but actually they're making it harder for learners. And if
they make it harder for learners, there's one thing that
junior only happens. They become the expert, even if they're
not one. Dorothy, this is Taro Crazy, our beginner series.
Chapenow
Hey everyone, I'm Dorothy. Welcome to Tara Crazy the Beginner's Series.
We're going to head on a few cards and how
to read them. But more importantly, I want to show
you that the inference or the emphasis or the nuance
with the same cards drawn in the same way with
(00:24):
different query, how it alters. Now, your card's got to
core energy, that is the image that it's created with,
and it doesn't actually have a meaning per se. So
there'll be a few keywords that along with the image
direct your intuitive response, direct or energetic response, your emotions,
(00:45):
your memory, all of these things are your glossary as
a reader. One thing that really will always make it
difficult to understand your cards is pre biased or predetermined
queries yes or no queries. We've already talked about that.
I'm not talking about that today, but it really will.
(01:05):
And then there's that altering thing that a lot of
people that are learning do, a lot of students do,
is where the cards they don't quite understand them, so
they alter the question by the way that they answer
or interpret the cards. And I'm going to start with
that today. So the question was and it's a legitimate
(01:27):
question that was asked, is what action is she going
to take towards me? Now it's not a year no query,
so that's a really good thing, but it predetermines she's
going to do something as opposed to nothing, and that
makes it a difficult query to answer for. Not to interpret,
(01:48):
you're going to need to ignore some cards because they're
just going to be irrelevant, and there would be the
better way to ask about that would be to gnor
that person completely in the query if you can, that's
self discipline, and then simply ask about romance and love
going forward over the next say, three to five months.
(02:11):
That if you don't get anything really positive or big
happening in there, that is your answer. But it will
also probably be really accurate as soon as you say,
what is this person going to do?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
And they're going to do nothing?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
That is actually if I hope you can understand how
that kind of doesn't work right, So it's not really
the way to go about it. Having said that, I
considered when I looked at the drawer that it was
a good draw and the person had done a pretty
decent interpretation. There was the sun out first, I just
ignored it. It's like you wish for thinking hopeful whatever
(02:48):
it is, I just ignored it. At the very end,
there was another major arcana. I can't remember what it
was because I just ignored it as well. And I
saw the three what I and this is my intuition.
This is how I read cards. If I'm laying out
the cards myself, then I lay them with purpose. If
they're not laid with purpose and with open ended aspect,
(03:13):
that is to say, we're looking at everything here. Even
if you ask a question everything related to that question.
I'm clearvoyant and I see auras. So the burden of
being able to read other people is definitely on me.
It's not going to be in the cards, though, and
it's not going to be in the person asking the question.
If I read them in relation to the ex or
(03:37):
what's going on in their relationship, without reading the other person,
I'm never going to get accuracy. And that's a reality
check because naturally a person wants one thing or the other.
Even if they want to get rid of a partner
and it hasn't been good for a while, there's a
moment where they kind of hope that the other person's
loving them, thinking about them, going to call them, and
(03:58):
so you know this touch and go period of time
reading for yourself during that time means you need to
be scrupulous and how you ask your question. So I
ignored the first major rkana in there, and I ignored
the second one, which was at the other end, and
I read the three cards that were in between them,
and there was the ten of Ones, there was the
(04:20):
four of pinch Calls, and there was the Night of
pinch Calls. And as soon as I see those cards
and I read them, I read the Night first. For him,
it wasn't my draw, it was his draw. But he
came up with his interpretation, which was, she's got feelings
for me, but she's going to hide them. But I
(04:41):
don't see that. I don't think she's going to get
in touch with me. So he kind of hit the
right bases there. But at the same time, I think
he knew that anyway. So they've had a conversation and
she's ended the relationship clearly, and so she may or
may not have described very well why she did. But
these moments I hope they changed their mind as part
(05:03):
of the energy of the reading, and that's why the
questions get a bit skew worth. So I want you
to think about that. Now we've got this is the
question what action is she going to take? And my
first emotional mental response, without even looking at the cards
was none. She's not going to take any so I
need to ignore anything that makes it look like she
(05:24):
may do something. So it was the Lovers at the end.
So he's read the Lovers as she's got feelings. It's
got nothing to do with feelings. The Lovers is about choices.
She's made a choice. So I didn't want to rub
it in there, and I didn't want to rub in
the optimism from the sun either, So I thought I'll
leave those two a side and just read the Four
of Pinnacles, the tina Ones and The Night of Pinacoles. Now,
(05:44):
the tina On's it was the first one out of those,
but I read the Night of Pinacles first because this
is a slow, steady card. But it's also a card
where a person does something they may not want to do,
or the it isn't comfortable to do. In day to
day life, it would be these are the chores you
(06:05):
have to do. You've got to do the dishes, right,
She's got to sweep the floor. There's no real reward
for that, but you know you feel better for having
done it. That to me, if that was the owner
car drawn, I would have ended up where he ended
up with, don't expect you to come your way. But
I also would have looked at it as here's the reason.
Most people will try to say why, and on half
(06:25):
the time I'm like, you don't really want to know why,
because why it's going to make you feel worse, not better.
So he decided she was hiding feelings, but I'm saying, no,
she's not hiding feelings. If she's hiding anything, it's the
fact that she feels good about the choice she's made.
So the night of pincourse, a person just moves slightly.
(06:46):
She knows it's going to be a transition. She knows
it's going to be a change. She knows it might
be challenging here and there, emotionally challenging, even because even
if you want a relationship to end, even if you're
you're happy for it to end, there's any emotional switch,
the emotional charge that happens. There's that sitting at home
of an evening and then thinking, gee, I wish I
(07:06):
could just keep this person. There's time not being filled.
It's the biggest challenge when people quit smoking, by the way,
it's time not being filled instead of being productive with
that time. Some people just sit there and think about
what they could be doing which they used to be doing.
Think about that if you ever give up smoking. So
there is your night Night of Pintercols. Then I moved
into reading the Four of Pinnacles, so I read it
(07:29):
from the night back, but he drew it from the
Ten of Ones down to the Night of Pinacles. So
I read the Four of Pinnacles because the four of
Pinnacous is an interesting card. Now it can actually be
holding on too tight kind of a card, but it's
got a good side. Every card's got a good side.
Every card's got both sides. In fact, they're flipping of
(07:51):
the coin. It can be a card. I'm going to
hold onto this good feeling. I'm going to hold onto
this I'm not going to let anything disturb it. It
could be I'm not going to let anything ruin my freedom.
I'm not going to get let anybody or anything take
anything from me.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
It's that kind of a card.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
That's the foor of Pincha Cales And in the Victorian Taro,
I've created a jewelry box, and in the jewelry box
there's a bit of jewelry spilling out over the side
and its beautiful filigree around the edges of it. And
because it can be holding on too tight, it can
be jealousy because of that, but it can also be
holding on to what you've earned, what you've acquired, what
(08:30):
you've gained. And I felt in this reading that she
was not going to let anybody or anything disturb what
her gains are, to upset her gains, or to try
and take them away from her. So if I was
advising him, which it wasn't, I was just reading the
cards for him, helping him with that. If I was
advising him, I would have said, if any attempt that
(08:50):
you make to try and engage her, you may find
she gets a bit volatile, or she may push hard
back at you because she wants the space and she's
happy to have it. And that comes through with our
night of one, a night of pintacols as well, having
that four of pinacols together. Those two cards they indicate
(09:12):
I'm doing the work, getting where I'm going.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Now leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
There's that kind of energy with those two and it's
not rude, and it's not negative because when we are
trying to reset ourselves, when we're trying to rebuild a life,
when we're trying to move forward from something, then very
often we have to husband that, don't We We have
to protect it from other people. You might think so
with the Internet, with everybody going, oh, my heart's been broken,
(09:37):
but actually they don't. Those are the people that the
least thing that's happening is their heart is actually genuinely
being broken.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
They just mostly didn't get what they wanted. The people who.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Are really struggling tend to withdraw from the Internet, but
they tend to post things that aren't so obvious as
I'm struggling and I feel sorry for me. Let's have
a pretty party, and then we've got the ten of ones,
which he drew first, and the ten of ones. There
was another person who commented that clearly the relationship was
(10:08):
a burden for her, and it's not a bad interpretation
of that card. But again, it's always hitting that one thing.
It's like I got what I wanted, and yet I
was still unsatisfied.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
As how I would read it in.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
This relationship style, when we get what we wanted, that
teen is always I got what I wanted, and all
of the tens I got something I was working for,
trying for.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
This is the top tier. And if I'm not happy here,
what now?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
And I don't know if you've ever been in a relationship,
but you may have where you've been in a relationship
it's felt pretty good. And you're sitting there one day
and you're looking around and you're thinking, Wow, is this it?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Have you ever done that? I have? You know? Is
this what it's all about? Oh? Maybe not, Maybe this
isn't what I wanted.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
After all, there's your ten of ones, the ten of ones,
and there particular situation, she will be feeling free. And
that's the connotations of this card when it's pulled with
the four of Pintacols and the Knight of Pincols. I
look at that as going, you know, I'm feeling like
(11:16):
I've freed myself from whatever I got that I wanted,
only to find that I didn't really want it, and
so now I need to undo that. And we have
many times in our lives where we think we want something,
can we get it? And we have to undo it
that pure genes that you actually don't like that much
or don't wear or they don't fit properly, whatever it
(11:36):
might be, from major to minor, that ten of ones
is apparent in a lot of our lives, getting what
we wanted, going for what we wanted, and the harder
you work to get it, and I don't mean the
harder you work, I should say, the more you manipulate
to get it, the more you shimmy around or make
an alteration of yourself to get it, the more freeing
(11:57):
it is to unburden yourself from it. So it's a
card of burden, but it's a burden of achievement, these
obligations that you may not be prepared to go, or
you're having fun, and then the other person mentions marriage
and kids, and you start thinking, oh no, no, no, no, no,
that's not where I'm going. So I'd better get out
of here before I get caught up in that, before
it gets too much of a struggle, before.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
It gets too heavy.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
This is a card that, if it was drawn into
the right query, the ten of ones I'm talking about,
you might say, you know what you need to lighten up.
You might need to unload, get rid of a burden,
get rid of the load you're carrying. It can be emotional,
it can be real things. It can be a relationship,
it can be obligations and duties, and it is sometimes
(12:43):
about being weighed down, but other times it's about getting
what you want and then just not wanting it, not
being satisfied with it, or realizing, you know what that
wasn't actually what I was after. So quite a powerful
thing to look at. So if you've got these cards,
grabs them out. That's the four of pincha calls the
tina Ones and the Night of Pinacles, with the Tin
(13:03):
of Wanes being first for a pincacle, second, the Night
of Pinacle third, and if you wanted to, you could
put the Sun, which was the actual first card, and
then that was like the Sun with the four Appentacles, sorry,
the Sun with the tina Ones and the four Pentacles,
and underneath that they had the Night of Pinacles and the.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Lovers. It was the last card out.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Now, if I was to read the Sun in there
with the four Pentacles is appearing, I would say, you
know what, you might keep thinking that something's going to
be different this time, something's going to change, something's going
to be improved. You're going to be improved, but it's
just not going to happen because whatever it was your
expectation was, because the four pinacles now becomes an expectation.
(13:49):
You might have thought, this person makes me happy, They're
going to make me happy, and then what about them?
Right when the question isn't about them? Or if you
go to that sun and you've got the ten of
wands beside it, we've got exactly what I want. I
thought this would make me deliriously happy. Only I realized
that's just not the truth. The learning, the life lesson
(14:10):
only comes with the sun and with the lovers. So
with the sun, it's like every time to me, I
would always go every time you go in naive, you
go in highly optimistic, you go in too hard, too fast,
too much, over and best, and the next thing you know,
everything's falling down around your ears. That's not for this reading,
because he was asking about somebody else. But if it
(14:31):
was for him in that situation, if it was in
a work situation and I got the sun, and again
this is going to change with every person to a
certain degree. But if I got the sun and I've
got the chain of ones, let's say it's going to
be a very demanding job, and you might be really
happy to get the extra fifty grand a year or
sixty grand more a year, whatever that salary is, or
(14:51):
more hours or less hours and more money.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
You're really happy to get that. But the demand is
going to be high.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
It's going to be a job with the depending If
I was reading it, i'd be more specific, but as
a generalization, you're going to find they want more hours
from you than you thought you would have to give.
The expectation will be there, or they will have deadlines,
and it's a highly demanding job, and so on and
so on. So you're going to find that you're weighted
down by the obligation of that. That doesn't mean you
can't enjoy the job, if you're just your thinking. If
(15:21):
we go then for a job or careers, and we're
looking at the Nine to Pentacles coming into that, we've
got the Ten of Ones with the Night of Pentacles
and the Sun, and it's a person with their job
and they're asking about how the job's going to go.
That suggests to me that you're going to be given
all the crap jobs. You're going to be given all
the jobs nobody wants to do, and that's that night.
(15:42):
I'll do all the chores. I'm a great support person.
I'll fill up the staplers, I'll clean up the office.
I'll do all of that along with my work. They
may expect you to have a broad range, or they
may expect you to do the nuts and bolts and
not leave it for other people. So a pretty important
card when it comes to career. It's about fastidiousness, it's
about detail, it's about getting it right. It's about doing
(16:05):
the job, even the parts you don't really like. So
you might find that you personally not the job itself,
have aspects that you don't really enjoy, and there might
be a lot of them in this job. So you
might like filing, for example, and there might be a
lot of that. Or you might like going to meetings
and there might be a lot of that. So that
night's definitely got the practicality is going on. And then
(16:28):
of course we add the four of pinchcolls in there,
and that could be that you know, I don't get
paid to do that could be that part of an
attitude in a job, and that'll be in conflict, I
don't get paid to do that. This is just too
much that's the ten of ones and the night's going,
you know, and it's menial. I've got to do all
of this stuff that I think I'm too good to
be doing. So when you start putting that nuanced together
(16:51):
for a different type of query, you get a whole
different thing going on. If you were to look at
those same cards again and you want to to apply
them to, say, my finances over the next six months,
the Sun would be sort of suggesting to me that
you might need to be thinking twice about what you're doing.
If you just want to enjoy yourself, you can be
(17:13):
perhaps a bit naive and how you spend money. And
again it's a life lesson. It's a harsh lized lesson
if you get into trouble. But this is only because
it's next to the TENA wants. Remember that part. Okay,
so you're reading two cards together. We've got the Sun
and the Tina wants. The Tina WANs. It's weighty. It's heavy.
So if I don't want to get into too much debt,
(17:35):
I need to think at the beginning, it's no good
if it's just fun spending money. If I can't pay
my rent or my bills or whatever it is, at
the end of.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
It, there's no fun in it.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
And quite often an individual asking about finances in that
way may spend money on incidentals, on things they don't want,
on things they don't need, simply because it makes them
feel good to spend the money, or it makes them
feel magnanimous, or it gives the impression of being more
well to do than they are, and so they're not
spending money on items of value either. As an example
(18:05):
of that would be a person who gets a reading,
just so as we're clear on that, who might do
better spending their money on doing a personal development program
or even a session, or going and having an energy
session as opposed to getting a reading. I've done so
many readings for people who immediately you can see it's
(18:25):
not a reading.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
They need.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
They need to create some fundamental change in their life.
And they're not reading junkies. It's just that they don't
know what else to do. They're backed into a corner,
and rather than making a choice of spending their resources
on doing something to unburden themselves, they compound the issue.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
They make it worse.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
So what if we were to talk about business, Say
you're developing a business, or you're thinking about a strategy.
I think it's also important to stay here that if
you don't have a genuine intention, this isn't something I'm
going to do, it's just something I'm tossing around. Terror
cards won't help you. You can't divine something that is
never going to be. Yes, just can't be done. And
(19:08):
you can't read the negative either. I'm not talking about
positive negative, it's you can't read the absence of something.
You can only read something that can be or as
likely to be, and then how is it going to be.
But if there's no intention, it's like if I get
a good reading I think I might invest a couple
of grand and setting up a business, then no, you're
(19:31):
not going to get a good information for that. But
if you've already started something, or you have a genuine
intention and you've got a plan, it's a great way
to start looking at that plan and strategizing. So we
say we talk about setting up a business, and again
we've got the sun, and we've got the Tina Wand's.
That sun and that Tina Wan's is going to keep
bringing us back to you know what, This might be
(19:53):
a bit heavy. You might find that you get in
over your head a bit, or you might find that
it's a deeper experience then you thought it would be.
It's not as much fun, but you will find it's
worth it. We can go that way with it as well.
You do need to watch yourself at the beginning that
your expectations are not too high, because in the Victorian terror,
(20:14):
I created this card as success by the way I've
called it success. But in the image there's a ladder
and there's a shadow of a person when he looks
like they're wailing.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
And then of course there's defense.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
And the biggest, most ignored part of this card, which
was not drawn by Arthur Waight, it was redone by
Arthur Wight. He completely ignores the brick wall in that
the baby and the horse. The baby can't control that horse.
Things could get carried away, right. But there's a potential
for success in this card, but there's also with every
(20:50):
potential for success, there's a potential for failure. And there's
a potential for spectacular failure if you are over invested
in the result, if you're overly optimistic, if you exaggerate
the possibilities and potentials, or if you don't factor in
see that white horse, no rains baby on board if
you don't factor in the ability for things to get
(21:11):
out of hand, if you don't take them one step
at a time. So that could be don't go on,
don't take too much on too fast thirteen of one's reminding.
But it could also be that fence, there's the sunflowers
behind it, there's the sun behind that fence. It's a
big brick fence, and the baby can't see it. The
horse isn't looking at it yet. It's walled away from them.
(21:32):
So it says, you know, if you want the success,
if you want your dawn in the sun, there's probably
something you need to do. It's not going to just happen,
and you need to do it in the best possible way.
Be excited, be optimistic, but remember that there's obligations with
everything that you do, with all of your investments. That's
those two cards together, so it can be acted out
(21:53):
as a reminder.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
It's not a warning.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
It's only a warning if you're overdoing it already, and
the warning is you keep doing what you're doing, then
it's a warning before you've even started.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
But your intention is to start.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
It's a reminder that if you do things in a
way that you can afford, that are comfortable for you,
if you put the right amount of time into it,
and your expectations aren't too high, if you don't think
you're going to make a million dollars in the first
six months, if your expectations aren't too high, you will
diligently work towards your goal, and success could be yours
before you even understand that. You need to understand what
(22:27):
is success. So a lot of people, it isn't the money.
A lot of people, it's the job itself and being
able to support themselves doing something they love right, And
a lot of people it's that other people it's like
I want to go out and I want to feed
people because I really get a lot of joy out
of that. I'm not too fussed about how many hours
(22:48):
I work, So they could work sixteen hours a day
because they enjoy feeding people. Then another person might like
a nine to five job, and success is having a
job that pays them well enough that they can start
work at nine, leave at five, and leave it all
behind them because.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
They're not invested in a career.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
They're not invested in the next stage of being responsible
for other people and so on, and so understanding that
element of the ten and the sun, putting those things together.
That success can only come into play in the area
that you think success lays.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
And if you get.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
There and realize, well, you know what, I'm getting the
money and the big company, I've got the title, and
my life is boring because you're there eight hours a day, minimum,
eight hours a day, five days aweight a week. Being
bored is absolutely horrible, by the way, it's just horrible
for a lot of people. It's nothing worse than that
(23:43):
level of boredom. So that's the kind of thing you're
looking at. If we want to put the nine to
pinnacles in there again, we're saying take it one step
of time, do what you've got to do. It's all
very well to have the fun parts, but you also
need to do what you've got to do, even if
you don't want to do it. And that can be
extra hours, right, that can be I've got to work
(24:03):
my job that pays me every day every week and
do this after that job's finished at the end of
the day, taking my eight hour day up to a
fifteen hour day. To establish this business without the pressure
of money, so without burdening myself. So that burdening card
is still there, that tena once is still there. If
(24:24):
I want to make this work, I need to do
it the correct way. And at night is like, it's
not always fun, it's not always exciting. Sometimes you just
got to do the boring bits. It's you've got to
do those bits because that's what every business entails. Is
always going to be a part of that there. And
when we start recognizing the nuance of just these three
(24:46):
cards five if you want to count that son, that
lovers is a card of choice. It doesn't matter where
it pops up. So what he did do wrong when
he was reading his cards was he gone from what
action is she going to take? And when he he
was trying to interpret it, he turned around and he says,
I think she feels blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
But that wasn't even close to the question.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
He was trying to fit a card into what he
believed it meant, which was the lovers. It's got to
be about romance, got to be about feelings. It's not
that the feelings are the hearts. The feelings are the
cups right, the water cards are feelings they're not about
romance either. You can have a good feeling about that
(25:27):
next job, can't you, And that would be the Cups.
You could have a good feeling about what the next
day is going to bring and feel quite up about that,
even though you've got no reason to have a good
feeling about that. It's just a feeling you've got, right,
So the cups or the Hearts or water cards are feelings.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
They're not even emotions.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
They can be, but until they're aligned with something else,
with another card, with another.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Aspect to provide context.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
It's certainly not about love, and the Lovers is definitely
not about love. The Lovers is quite interesting because when
you look at the major arcana and you go back
to Elifus Levi's interpretations, and you go back further than
that as well, because he's early eighteen hundreds, by the way,
he was an older man by the time right Arthur
Waite was translating his books. And Arthur Waite translated Elifus
(26:20):
Levi's books. He researched aalia and he quotes what he
learned about them, and he even talks about in his
pictorial key that there weren't picture cards for the minor
Arcana and now I see people just all of a
sudden in the last year or two arguing over why
people read playing cards like Teri cards, and because they
(26:44):
originally were that's what they were where That's all that's
been done is a set of images have been added,
but there weren't really those around prior to Arthur Waite's
interpreting because Italia and I've never seen any real official book.
I've only seen books written by others about him, but
A Life as Levi talks about him and his books,
(27:05):
and he wrote over thirty books book which we never
have written, and there are copies that have been scanned in.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
He was the Kabala guy.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
He was training to be a priest a minister of
the church, thought they were full of it, and converted
to Judaism and changed his name to A Life as Levi.
So when we understand that's where that Cabbalistic notes come,
that's where the Hebrew comes from. It wasn't there before.
So they are an evolution. There are a change of things.
(27:34):
But if you don't understand the tree of life, which
has the ten attainments, by the way, it's just quite
profound that we moved through and around and about those
Hebrew letters don't mean anything to you. They're just things
on the card, aren't they? And so understanding the elements
about and around that there were never any sun signs
(27:57):
applied to them, you know. So that's more recent as well,
a bit older than the last couple of years. But
people trying to fit the cards into their model of belief,
and it doesn't really.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Work very well.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I just see a lot of confusion out there, whole
lot of confusion. So when we come back to nuance
and energy exchange and understanding your query in relation to
the cards, it takes a little bit more time. And
when you are learning, I've seen this a lot lately.
What did you guys do to learn your TEARO? We
worked at it hard. People would not pay you if
(28:32):
you were not good. There was no I got my
cards three years ago. I've been playing around, I mean
tinking around.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
I want you to pay me for readings. It just
isn't done that way. It never was done that way.
Why would you pay somebody who isn't anywhere near mastering
the craft they're trying to charge you for. That's all
I got with that one. So when you understand the
nuance for the same cards being read in different ways,
you don't fall into a trap of trying to fit
(28:59):
the card into a model.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
He had it kind of right.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
He knew that it wasn't going to go anywhere, whether
he got that from the cards or he already really
did know that. One of the things, though, that was
really obvious, was one card in there. He wanted to
turn it into feelings, which threw the whole reading out
and left him confused. She isn't hiding her feelings because
she's already ended the relationship. So it makes no sense,
(29:25):
does it. So when you come up with a commentary
and a narrative, and when you look at it properly
in regards to what has happened and the cards and
the interpretation again the query, if it doesn't make sense,
it's because something's gone a bit of rye in there.
Either you're lying to yourself, or you have a bias
(29:45):
in the query, or you are prejudicial in your interpretation.
One of the interesting aspects of all of this is
that word nuance.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
When you get.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Those three cards or those four cards, there's only s
eight cards in a troo.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Dick, my.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Terror off asterisms has eighty eight because there are eighty
eight asterisms. Otherwise you could call them constellations, but they're
actually the big squares that you find them in. They're
a piece of the sky is the constellation, and the
asterisms as the group of stars. So when you are
looking at range and you're looking at building a story,
(30:28):
when you lay out your cards, whether you use a
proper layer or not, and I say proper because there
are proper layouts. If you're not understanding what that layout
means and how the cards interact, the chances are you're
not going to read them correctly either. I had a
girl talking to me. She'd done a GT and she's like,
I just don't understand how this works with that she'd
asked a very specific question about her and this other person. Right,
(30:51):
So I read the two lines going to this other person,
and both of them incorporated this or that. It's not
the best way to read normal. But at the same time,
you don't read thirty six cards. So she's read somewhere
that it's got a fate line and the layout that
doesn't have a fate line and the layout, And the
problem is if you read that, suddenly you've added an
(31:13):
element that just won't make sense, and she couldn't make
sense of it because of that. She says, Oh, but
the fate line sees, and so she's reading things that
are completely not even related to the part she wants to.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
But I'm going to go a stage further.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
In the original Game of Hope, when they first called
it Le Normond, it came out in the eighteen hundreds.
She died in I think eighteen seventy somewhere in there.
It came out within three months. The Game of Hope
what she used for the picture cards, and she used
the playing cards for her what we would call a
minor o cana, but just regular cardomancy playing cards. She
(31:49):
used two sets, right, so that was okay, and they
capitalized on that, and as soon as she died, they rebranded.
They still sold the Game of Hope, but they rebranded
the picture cards to normand and they took the playing
cards and put them on the cards. Now, the size
they were always small because they were made for ladies
and ladies just didn't do big with their hands. And
(32:10):
so when they did that, they also had a little
weed description of meanings that they applied. It has nothing
to do with ma'moiselle normand so they decided that, but
it was in relation to the game, and they were
quite freaky actually, but they basically were very clear that
if the snake is way over here and there's a
(32:33):
key between it and the snake, it cancels it out.
And so there was a lot of that discounsels it
out that makes that take longer. You don't read thirty
six cards, So if you had to read thirty six
cards every time in their order and how they come
out would be primary, don't you think so, Just so
as we understand that that people dive in with these
(32:54):
elements because they are trying to stamp their mark on it,
but actually they're making it harder for learners. And if
they make it harder for learners, there's one thing that
junior only happens. They become the expert, even if they're
not one. Dorothy, this is Taro Crazy, our beginner series.
