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

personification of the source of this message, this brings you closer to the belief system that is<br />

specifically correct to carry you <strong>for</strong>ward on your path. This is the dialect of the philosophical<br />

language of truth which will best suit you. INVERTED: This reading will help you identify the<br />

spiritual group/family with which your karma is most closely linked. Take a look at your personal<br />

beliefs <strong>and</strong> justify them with those of the group.<br />

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

UPRIGHT: You have come to the realization of your position, of what you have to teach. You<br />

accept that you are in the vanguard of the school of thought to which you subscribe. You are<br />

mentally in business <strong>for</strong> yourself, actively pursuing your own course. A declaration of independence.<br />

You may think of yourself as a scribe. INVERTED: On the one h<strong>and</strong>, you may be a bit smug<br />

about your awareness of your awareness. On the other h<strong>and</strong>, you may have doubts about your<br />

position. You could be suffering from anomie—social or personal unrest due to a lack of purpose<br />

or ideals.<br />

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

UPRIGHT: Your heart is surrendering to the assigned task, the responsibility that has come with<br />

the knowledge. You have been efficient learning your lessons <strong>and</strong> now as a reward, you have an<br />

exp<strong>and</strong>ed role. This corresponds to the sense of a walk-in with whom we share/trade tasks as with<br />

members of our group, in some cases devoting ourselves to self purpose from past lives. The heart<br />

here is dedicating itself to helping fulfill the beliefs. INVERTED: The distortion here is complex.<br />

One extreme is the heart’s ab<strong>and</strong>oning itself to an ideology that it is not in love with.<br />

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

UPRIGHT: Your ideology is changing your life fundamentally as it comes to the <strong>for</strong>efront. You<br />

may or may not be seeking actual isolation, but you are going through changes in things like diet,<br />

exercise, routine, clothes. In short, much of your taste is being trans<strong>for</strong>med by your beliefs. You are<br />

beginning to walk your talk, becoming a living witness to your truth. You may even begin to make<br />

your living directly from your beliefs. INVERTED: Sometimes the Physical Plane takes quite a<br />

beating as you try to catch up <strong>for</strong> lost time. Be gentle with yourself <strong>and</strong> others. In another extreme,<br />

you may do all the above, thinking these are your beliefs, but they are really someone else’s.<br />

14 GOVERNED BY TEMPERANCE: EMOTIONAL TEST<br />

UPRIGHT: The heart agrees with mind, <strong>and</strong> you see the effect on relationships, on sex, on your<br />

creative projects. The heart may even be putting pressure on the Emotional Plane <strong>and</strong> its contents<br />

to con<strong>for</strong>m to beliefs. INVERTED: The effect of the heart either disagreeing with mind, or agreeing<br />

much to easily <strong>and</strong>/or completely<br />

15 GOVERNED BY THE DEVIL: TEMPTATION/CHALLENGE, FEARS<br />

UPRIGHT: Your belief system comes together in a stronger way than ever be<strong>for</strong>e. Now you can<br />

draw up your master plan in ink. Or if they have solidified be<strong>for</strong>e now, here are the trials of<br />

sustaining, amplifying, expounding your theories <strong>and</strong> seeing if they st<strong>and</strong> the test of time <strong>and</strong> life.<br />

INVERTED: You may discover a crack in your system, or a new way of looking at things that<br />

transcends <strong>and</strong> replaces the old altogether.<br />

16 GOVERNED BY THE TOWER: NEXT LESSON, GRACE OF GOD<br />

UPRIGHT: Getting The Hermit at the spiritual level is suitably paradoxical. It means that no<br />

seclusion of any kind is needed—no physical dropping out <strong>and</strong> w<strong>and</strong>ering naked in the wilderness<br />

like the Hindu avadhutas in India; no emotional hiding from loved ones by changing our names <strong>and</strong><br />

moving to Alaska; <strong>and</strong> no retreat into a mental fog impenetrable even at a busy faculty tea. Why?<br />

Because all of the lessons that are learned by such physical, emotional, <strong>and</strong> mental seclusion are<br />

being h<strong>and</strong>ed to you by grace. INVERTED: Whether this signals the above mentioned, or that you<br />

are to be coming out of seclusion with these lessons learned, the reason is that you are too busy<br />

yourself testing the waters with all your insights. So much <strong>for</strong> getting the theory worked out. Now,<br />

to the laboratory, Watson!
