You can't miss seeing the pictures and knowing what they say. YOU can explore things you want to know about by learning to read the pictures this way and applying them to what you have in mind, and learn it just by hanging around the page that sends you this (Tarot Easy Pieces), joining it, and also while you're at it 'like' this note.

𝗧𝘄𝗼-𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗲 - 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘂𝗽𝘀
𝘸𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦
wonderful - Wheel of Fortune
to date - Three of Cups

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗲 mainly says '𝙬𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡' and says forms of the word 'happen.' It also often translates 'opportunity' or 'grand opportunity.' Four of Wands with Wheel of Fortune suggests 'wonderful to marry' -- he would be a 'good catch.'

Wheel of Fortune is the tool Lady Luck (the goddess Fortuna) uses to make 𝙬𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡 things happen, to create 𝙬𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡 opportunities for her favorite humans. The picture shows this tool, called the Rota (Think 'rotation' and other such words in English).

𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘂𝗽𝘀 is a snapshot of some girls enjoying champagne together, all dressed up, so this is the card that shows up for the 𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 scene.

𝗧𝘄𝗼-𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

𝗘𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 - 𝗧𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘂𝗽𝘀
𝘢𝘴 𝘶𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺
are being done the usual ordinary way - Eight of Pentacles
in the whole community. - Ten of Cups

𝗘𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 is about something 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙪𝙨𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙬𝙖𝙮. This carpenter keeps hammering the same way he did last year and the same way he will do a year from now.

𝗧𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘂𝗽𝘀 is 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 of good people, the married-with-children home-owning taxpaying crowd. It's a marriage card, and all the marriage cards in Tarot Verbatim also represent groups of people. You see mama and papa and the kids outside their fine home, the couple happily embracing, the kids skipping around.

𝗧𝘄𝗼-𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗻 - 𝗦𝗶𝘅 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀
𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥.
Realize that - Hanged Man
you leave bad times behind. - Six of Swords

𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗻's favorite word is '𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙯𝙚.' He has paid a body part or function to the gods to get psychic and spiritual awareness, and here he is upside-down on the cross he hanged himself on as the price of the realization of these powers. Three myths from three different cultures the world over are the basis for this illustration.

𝗦𝗶𝘅 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 also means better times are ahead but that's because you're 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙖𝙙 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙙. Funny how both cards have ships in them. Mother and son get out of town, slumped over, leaving with the clothes on their back.

𝗧𝘄𝗼-𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 - 𝗝𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁
𝘏𝘶𝘴𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴.
Husband - King of Wands
changes his ways. - Judgment

𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 is the 𝙝𝙪𝙨𝙗𝙖𝙣𝙙 because when you ask he shows up for that right on time. I think it's because Queen of Wands is the uncontested card for wife, for the sensible practical woman who keeps the house and the business in order. Her picture shows her with her cat by her side, a sunflower in one hand and a long pole in the other.

𝗝𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁's illustration produces all sorts of meanings unrelated to one another except by Judgment's illustration: the angel waking you up long after you are dead with his mighty magic horn. You are very much for sure 𝙖 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣 at that moment, so change is a main theme of Judgment. If you are serious about Tarot, buy the single card lesson of Judgment.

𝗧𝘄𝗼-𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

𝗞𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘂𝗽𝘀 - 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀
𝘐𝘵 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺.
This is an offer of - Knight of Cups
financial security. - Two of Wands

𝗞𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘂𝗽𝘀 𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙨 the cup of friendship to whoever his horse faces on the road. Knight of Cups is the helper, the person who takes the initiative, who cooperates and is the good friend.

𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 is 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 all right. This fellow owns the town. He is planning on the management of his rental properties below his castle. You can't miss that he is a mogul: He has the world in his hands!

𝗧𝘄𝗼-𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻 - 𝗦𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘂𝗽𝘀
𝘏𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘵-𝘰𝘧-𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴.
He does - Magician
out-of-control things. - Seven of Cups

𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻 has two main meanings that dwarf all his other words and phrases: a singular male pronoun, 'he,' and various forms of the verbs 'do' and 'act,' including the noun 'action.' Yes, there are other applications, but always try one of these first. Magician also habitually uses both the pronoun and the verb in your sentence, as it does here in: He does.

𝗦𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘂𝗽𝘀 is the out-of-control things that happen when you let the evil spirits out of the box. The master magician had them all neatly packed in their container but some employee figured if the boss could do it, he could, and opened that container. The hapless employee is pictured in the black wool robe magicians use to insulate themselves from the evil spirits, in shock at what he let loose. What a great card to represent the answer to this question.

𝗧𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 - 𝗦𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘂𝗽𝘀
𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘵-𝘰𝘧-𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴
A lot of - Ten of Wands
out-of-control things - Seven of Cups

𝗧𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 has 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙩 𝙤𝙛 logs bending his back as he slowly gets where he is going. Ten of Wands is 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙩 𝙤𝙛 anything, which often brings us words like these: many, too, too much, too many, a lot, lots of.

This shows off how Tarot Verbatim's unique meaning for Ten of Pentacles comes in so handy time after time: people who are a problem and/or people who have a problem because it depicts a family quarrel. Nine of Swords, up in bed in the middle of the night, is upset. So the pictures tell all. THIS is the genius of reading the pictures as words, Tarot Verbatim.

𝗧𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 - 𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀
𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 𝘶𝘱𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶
the people who are a problem - Ten of Pentacles
upset you. - Nine of Swords
as scary as that is. - Nine of Swords

𝗧𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 in Tarot Verbatim is people who are a problem or 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙖 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢. The picture shows one of those family 'discussions' we are all heir to. Grandpa is smug on this chair-throne with the dogs tending him. Son ignores what his wife has to say. Wife tries to make her point as kid pulls on her clothes and squalls. Each of them is a problem to the others, except son may ally with grandpa.

𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 is 𝙪𝙥𝙨𝙚𝙩 all by himself or herself in the middle of the night. Something 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙮 is up in his or her life.

You don't become a psychic. You are psychic; everyone is. Your subconscious is psychic, far more than any spirit guide is. To the extent you DON'T stem the flow, you have conscious psychic experiences and 'are a psychic.' It's not a matter of acquiring something, it's a matter of getting out of your own way of something.

financial Exchanges - Six of Pentacles
in the whole community - Ten of Cups

𝗦𝗶𝘅 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 shows an employer paying his employees fairly, weighing the coins so as to pay the real value, not the face value. This is a 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚.

𝗧𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘂𝗽𝘀 is 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 of good people, the married-with-children home-owning taxpaying crowd.
