Karmic Spread Reading Interpretations
165
8 GOVERNED BY STRENGTH: EMOTIONAL RESOURCES, ENERGY
UPRIGHT: You have a knack at making relationships work, at keeping all parties concerned
satisfied. This is social diplomacy at its best. There is an abundance of creative talent that manages
to avoid the normal tendency of an artist to be a loner. You are creative in conjunction with others.
INVERTED: You may be calm and predictable to the point that people take advantage of you. But
at another extreme, you are unpredictable and your moods can cover a lot of territory. Habits,
addictions may have weakened you.
9 GOVERNED BY THE HERMIT: BELIEF SYSTEM; BASIS FOR DECISIONS
UPRIGHT: Your beliefs may resemble the Buddhist middle path, with the accompanying thought
that control of desire is the solution to man’s discomfort. Here we can also see the confidence in
love’s ability to solve everything, to heal all through the flow of energy in and out, cleansing the soul.
INVERTED: At one extreme is a misunderstanding of desire and the attempt to negate it. To be born
is to be given the blessing of desire. It is the desire to be one with God that energizes every action
creating movement, life itself. It is the nature of our desires and our actions to fulfill them that carry
the disease. At another extreme, this can become philosophy of non-action, wherein the will of man
lies fallow, waiting upon the will of God.
10 GOVERNED BY THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE: CENTRAL MESSAGE, THEME OF READING
UPRIGHT: Ask for Temperance for that is the archetype needed at this time. Let it descend
from this, the Spiritual Plane down through the Mental, Emotional, and Physical Planes, to
heal where imbalance has left its mark. INVERTED: This energy of Temperance will work
through you for someone close who needs its healing balance. Direct your mind and heart to
this task.
11 GOVERNED BY JUSTICE: STATE/CONTENT OF MIND
UPRIGHT: You are planning how to correct an imbalance in the Emotional Plane. You may want
to shift the weight from one area to another. The issues may already be on the table for discussion.
INVERTED: The mind can only address the issues here; the real work will still have to be done by
the heart. The mind may be subverting or distorting knowingly the emotional issues at hand, and
contributing to the problem.
12 GOVERNED BY THE HANGED MAN: STATE OF EMOTIONS, SUBCONSCIOUS
UPRIGHT: This heart understands that it will only get stronger if it can equalize the flow of
energy in and energy out. It is in the process of redistributing energy at this very moment to
achieve that balance. There may be a shift in the amount of normal giving, or taking, the desire
to cooperate, to compromise. INVERTED: With temperance, timing can be a problem. As we
identify an imbalance we want to correct, we may not wait for the appropriate situation. Give
and take requires willing parties on both ends whose souls have complimentary needs at the
same time.
13 GOVERNED BY DEATH: PHYSICAL SITUATION, HARD REALITY
UPRIGHT: You are having to temper your actions, saying and doing less (or more as the case may
demand if you have been too passive). Reconciliation may be underway. Redistribution of material
resources with high emotional content. INVERTED: Your action may be an overreaction. Reconciliation
may be inappropriate or it may not be going well. Physical habits may be out of control;
substance abuse appears here, with resulting damage to the body.
14 GOVERNED BY TEMPERANCE: EMOTIONAL TEST
UPRIGHT: This is Temperance in its home base and the effect will be especially strong. The
reading may center to a great degree around this card here. In the near future you will be delicately
balancing give and take. Remember that proper giving/taking does not require sacrifice
from either party. INVERTED: An imbalance of this principle may put your relationships, or your
creative endeavors, to the test. Habits may become destructive. As a preventive measure ask
