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

system of thought or love. INVERTED: If acted on too early, these passions may prove to be less than<br />

long lasting. At another extreme the passion may be a hatred <strong>for</strong> a given belief system.<br />

7 GOVERNED BY THE CHARIOT: PHYSICAL RESOURCES; MEANS TO ACHIEVE<br />

UPRIGHT: You have aligned yourself, your time <strong>and</strong> your habits, with others, with establishment<br />

<strong>and</strong> established ways of doing things. You have enjoyed doing the expected, pleasing yourself <strong>and</strong><br />

your group. INVERTED: Should you need to do something very out of the ordinary, you may have<br />

trouble getting the resources you need.<br />

8 GOVERNED BY STRENGTH: EMOTIONAL RESOURCES, ENERGY<br />

UPRIGHT: The beliefs of your parents, your early environment, have been com<strong>for</strong>table <strong>and</strong> worked<br />

well <strong>for</strong> you. There<strong>for</strong>e, you are surrounded by people who have been able to rely on you <strong>and</strong> vice<br />

versa. This gives you the confidence <strong>and</strong> energy you need to grow. INVERTED: You may be wanting<br />

a new car that will no longer use your old br<strong>and</strong> of gasoline. Something has to give.<br />

9 GOVERNED BY THE HERMIT: BELIEF SYSTEM; BASIS FOR DECISIONS<br />

UPRIGHT: Your beliefs are most likely very similar to what you grew up with, but not necessarily.<br />

And most likely you are a practicing member of an organized religion, but not necessarily. But you<br />

are an advocate of convention, if not the conventional. You insist on a healthy system <strong>for</strong> society’s<br />

business <strong>and</strong> a strong enough backbone of ethics to raise it above simple law <strong>and</strong> order to a belief<br />

system <strong>and</strong> some <strong>for</strong>m of reliance on higher law. INVERTED: At one extreme, you would not touch<br />

organized religion with a 20-foot pole. At the other extreme, you are such a devotee that you follow<br />

the letter of the church law, even when you know better. Also, here are alienation from a group or<br />

belief system <strong>and</strong> revolutionary ideologies.<br />

10 GOVERNED BY THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE: CENTRAL MESSAGE, THEME OF READING<br />

UPRIGHT: This is an opportunity to avail yourself of an established source, such as a given religion<br />

or philosophical school of thought. Truth is being presented in a package that is highly palatable.<br />

Babette’s Feast, a cornucopia, is at h<strong>and</strong>. Do not miss it. It has been cooked especially <strong>for</strong> you.<br />

INVERTED: All of the above is true, but it may be hard <strong>for</strong> you to get your h<strong>and</strong>s around it because<br />

it is too ethereal. Nevertheless, this is a group to which you want to listen <strong>and</strong> participate with. It will<br />

become more concrete with time; that is why you are to be involved.<br />

11 GOVERNED BY JUSTICE: STATE/CONTENT OF MIND<br />

UPRIGHT: Your mind is not on frivolous things, but on the rudiments of what makes you tick, of<br />

what makes everything tick. You are centered on your personal belief system, evaluating the group<br />

to which your personal beliefs adhere, <strong>and</strong> the universal systems to which that group adheres. This<br />

centering exercise with evaluation is in preparation <strong>for</strong> some major work <strong>and</strong> you want the horses to<br />

be lined up just right. INVERTED: Do not waste your time or the horses’ in trying to get them lined<br />

up precisely be<strong>for</strong>e you think you can act. Life is an organic process.<br />

12 GOVERNED BY THE HANGED MAN: STATE OF EMOTIONS, SUBCONSCIOUS<br />

UPRIGHT: You are immersed in your faith, your belief system, <strong>and</strong> the people sharing it with you.<br />

This is worship—what we want most, <strong>and</strong> when we do it right, what we get the most out of. This is the<br />

balance of give <strong>and</strong> take, from above to below <strong>and</strong> back again. And done right it does not matter which<br />

came first, the chicken or the egg. INVERTED: Too much immersion in a belief is actually a suspension<br />

of that belief, just as much as if you had refuted that belief to begin with. The heart will help you<br />

balance between belief <strong>and</strong> non-belief, between faith <strong>and</strong> doubt, between yourself <strong>and</strong> your group.<br />

13 GOVERNED BY DEATH: PHYSICAL SITUATION, HARD REALITY<br />

UPRIGHT: Your belief group is the most prominent, preeminent aspect of your material life. You<br />

may well be making your living on-line serving up God’s reality in portions that people can swallow.<br />

You are putting your spirituality out there with others where people can touch it <strong>and</strong> try it on <strong>for</strong><br />

size themselves. INVERTED: You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink is not a<br />

lament; it is as it should be.
