lucky in love. INVERTED: Openness may not be that easy for you, but you can improve with
conscious effort. At the other extreme, you may be letting it all hang out and may not be able to find
it when you need it.
9 GOVERNED BY THE HERMIT: BELIEF SYSTEM; BASIS FOR DECISIONS
UPRIGHT: Here is the rule of Dionysian rather than Apollonian spirit, in the most positive sense.
Life is to be lived, enjoyed, and therein at the core is the appreciation of the divinity in everything,
in the absolute ecstasy of awareness. Only when we distort the pursuit of these things do we pull up
short and get into ethical problems. INVERTED: At one extreme, there is the more popular conception/misconception
that the bacchanal approach to life is to be avoided at all costs, hence pleasure
itself is a danger if not an outright no-no. At the other extreme, the confidence in pleasure as the
route to all things is carried to the limits, or past them.
10 GOVERNED BY THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE: CENTRAL MESSAGE, THEME OF READING
UPRIGHT: Heads up for love. Pay attention to all the signs, and they should be aplenty. Honor your
creative talents for now is the time to extrovert your feelings, sharing with others who may need your
inspiration and prodding to free their feelings. INVERTED: Rare it is that we are told to let a love go,
but such may be the case now. This may be a period where introspection and self-love is called for.
To the artist, this means back to the studio rather than the gallery.
11 GOVERNED BY JUSTICE: STATE/CONTENT OF MIND
UPRIGHT: Love, relationships, creativity—such is the nature of your mind’s activity at the moment.
You are planning around your heart’s desire, for here are types of thoughts we have when we
are in love. INVERTED: This is where the word preoccupied comes into good use. The mind needs
more than this one track. At another extreme these thoughts are against this archetype.
12 GOVERNED BY THE HANGED MAN: STATE OF EMOTIONS, SUBCONSCIOUS
UPRIGHT: When we say we are in love, this is the feeling we are trying to express. This is the
personal passion and pleasure felt in the depth of the heart. INVERTED: Here may be the pain of
intense love felt, not lost. At the other extreme, is the agony of unrequited or lost love.
13 GOVERNED BY DEATH: PHYSICAL SITUATION, HARD REALITY
UPRIGHT: Here love, the birth of duality in love, is doing its magic of pulling the self out of its shell
by having it come to need another as much as it needs self. The self is growing to include this other
in its idea of what it must be in order to continue its physical existence. Marriage. INVERTED: At
one extreme, the process will subvert itself in progress by trying to possess or even consume the very
other it has come to “love.” Separation. Divorce.
14 GOVERNED BY TEMPERANCE: EMOTIONAL TEST
UPRIGHT: Love, an important relationship, acceptance of creative inspiration, is intensifying,
demanding greater definition and expression. The external must be integrated into the heart. That
which is integrated must be externalized and shared. INVERTED: Too much or too little, both can
cause disappointment and sadness with the sense of loss, as a piece of self missing. Accept this twist
on an old parable: Like the shepherd who leaves his entire flock to find the one lost sheep, the heart
may neglect what is at hand to search for what is lost.
15 GOVERNED BY THE DEVIL: TEMPTATION/CHALLENGE, FEARS
UPRIGHT: In the near future you may face the challenge of integrating a relationship, a new and
unexpected passion, into your life game plan. INVERTED: At one extreme, here comes true temptation.
The impact of a full and throbbing heart on the rational business of mind. The advice here is
to temper your emotions if you can find the wherewithal. At the other extreme, your libido is too
low and you may be ignoring something that very much deserves your attention. Remember that
this can be your own gifted talents.
