11. Interpreting the Court Cards:<br />

The Nature of Readings<br />

The Court cards may fall on any of the 22 positions, <strong>and</strong> the interpretation of that<br />

Court card (as defined in Chapter Eight) will be:<br />

A. A real flesh-<strong>and</strong>-blood person interfacing with the readee.<br />

B. A personality not incarnate on the Physical Plane—a spirit guide, deceased<br />

loved one, or any other entity between the readee on the Physical Plane <strong>and</strong><br />

the level of the Divine.<br />

C. Aspects of personality that refer to the readee rather than another being.<br />

Remember that all cards, including Court cards representing personalities,<br />

embody messages about specific lessons being learned. You do not meet,<br />

dream about, or experience people in any manner except in their relationship<br />

to you on your path. In short, all people, all Court cards, are lessons.<br />

12. A Note on Interpreting Major Arcana Cards:<br />

125<br />

Remember that the Major Arcana embody the most important principles, those categories<br />

of necessary education on the path, much as you might think of required courses of<br />

study in a university curriculum. Major Arcana are extremely powerful <strong>and</strong> significant<br />

when they fall on the position in the spread with which they are identified, <strong>and</strong> that they<br />

govern. When this occurs, you know that the readee is correctly centered on their <strong>Karmic</strong><br />

Path at that point, maximizing the lessons of that card <strong>and</strong> that position. Chapter Seven<br />

provides detailed interpretations <strong>for</strong> these 22 cards.<br />

13. Interpreting Multiples of a Given Category of a Pip or Court Card:<br />

For example: What is the significance of receiving two, three, or four Aces or multiples of<br />

any other Pip cards? Or of two, three, or four Kings or multiples of any other Court cards?<br />

While I usually make no special interpretation <strong>for</strong> multiples of only two of a given Pip<br />

or Court card, multiples of three begin to take on significance; it follows naturally that<br />

multiples of four are very important. Here again may be seen the importance of studying<br />

the characteristics of the basic four card-categories (the Planes, the Suits) to which each of<br />

the Pips <strong>and</strong> Court cards belong. Chapter Eight presents the meanings of the Aces through<br />

Tens <strong>for</strong> their numerological significance be<strong>for</strong>e going on to discuss the individual cards.<br />

The same is done <strong>for</strong> the Court cards in discussing Pages, Knights, Queens, <strong>and</strong> Kings as<br />

such. The Reader’s familiarity with these categories will be invaluable in interpreting multiples.<br />

Let’s take the example of a given <strong>Karmic</strong> Spread layout that contains three 7s <strong>and</strong> four<br />

Knights (there are several possibilities <strong>for</strong> the distribution of these multiples, which must<br />

be considered separately):<br />

A. They may be scattered throughout the spread in no significant pattern.<br />

B. They may be in one of the horizontal rows (Planes).<br />

C. They may be in one of the vertical columns (Stages).<br />

Here are some possible interpretations: From your study of Chapter Eight <strong>and</strong> Chart<br />

6, you know that 7s represent a plateau <strong>and</strong> new beginnings, <strong>and</strong> thus three 7s would be<br />

emphatic. If these were all in a vertical column, obviously that Stage would represent a
