<strong>Karmic</strong> <strong>Tarot</strong><br />

Here are the specific interpretations of each of the 78 cards in each of the 22 <strong>Karmic</strong><br />

Spread positions. Once you have shuffled <strong>and</strong> laid the cards down in a <strong>Karmic</strong> Spread you<br />

can look up the meaning in the pages that follow. These definitions will connect you with<br />

the roots of each card, opening doors <strong>for</strong> further personal interpretation.<br />

There are 3,432 definitions presented—78 (cards) x 22 (positions) x 2 (upright/inverted).<br />

Let these definitions be your training wheels <strong>and</strong> then leave them behind as the archetypes<br />

speak to you directly about their nature <strong>and</strong> how they interact. Then you will discover<br />

more than any number of definitions could ever divulge. And you will not be memorizing.<br />

But even as you gain experience the interpretations may still offer insight.<br />

Whether a card is upright or inverted is an indicator <strong>for</strong> keeping the querent/readee<br />

more centered on their path. Knowing that karma is not negative, in <strong>Karmic</strong> <strong>Tarot</strong> an<br />

inverted card is not limited to a negative interpretation. An upright card represents the<br />

central meaning of the archetype of that card. An inverted card represents too much or too<br />

little of that principle. For example: The Queen of Cups, in her centrally defined role,<br />

signifies the nurturing female. At one extreme, she may be so overprotective that she never<br />

lets her young son go out to play; on the other, she may not know where he is at 10 o’clock<br />

at night. Even though the extremes are to be avoided in principle, in a given reading the<br />

querent/readee may need to move toward one extreme—toward one half of a duality<br />

pair—in order to balance the other. The inverted card, representing excess or deficiency, is<br />

an invaluable tool, giving signposts <strong>for</strong> walking the middle path.<br />

The interpretations are organized as follows:<br />

Major Arcana:<br />

Beginning with The Magician (1) <strong>and</strong> ending with The Fool (22/0).<br />

Minor Arcana/Pips:<br />

Beginning with the four Aces <strong>and</strong> ending with the four Tens.<br />

Minor Arcana/Courts:<br />

Beginning with the four Pages <strong>and</strong> ending with the four Kings.<br />
