166
Karmic Tarot
someone on whom you can rely to give you brutally honest feedback on your behavior for awhile,
and then listen to them.
15 GOVERNED BY THE DEVIL: TEMPTATION/CHALLENGE, FEARS
UPRIGHT: Here may be a concern with the heart content of information, of words and ideas. Be as
objective and fair as possible and still satisfy your goals. INVERTED: You may think of temperance
as a weakness. You may even have a fear of compromise.
16 GOVERNED BY THE TOWER: NEXT LESSON, GRACE OF GOD
UPRIGHT: You will be washed with the emotional balm you need, suggesting you need the efficiency
of all your energy directed toward a worthwhile endeavor of great benefit to you. INVERTED:
The above is true, but in order for you to have the energy and motivation to help someone else get
their project accomplished on time.
17 GOVERNED BY THE STAR: APIRATIONS OF EGO, GOALS, MAXIMUM EXPECTATIONS
UPRIGHT: Let there be peace on earth. If you could have your way, this is your greatest wish. As an
operating principle you fall back on the Golden Rule, hoping others will do unto you as you do unto
them. You may achieve this in many ways, from being a marriage counselor to an ambassador.
INVERTED: You may practice “do as I say, not as I do.” At one extreme, this penchant for peace can
distort and turn on itself like a scorpion, yielding something akin to the parents vow that “this is
going to hurt me more than it is you.”
18 GOVERNED BY THE MOON: ASPIRATIONS OF HEART, COMPASSION
UPRIGHT: Let there be wholeness on earth. You want to be able to heal where there is need. The
desires for self and for others are merging, each feeding the other. Paradoxically, in order for these
to merge well they must each be maximized in their own turn. Neither may be sacrificed for the
other. INVERTED: Aspire to be helped as much as to help and you will be so efficient at learning the
lessons of the higher emotions that you will have energy left over. It is this excess energy that has the
innate power to heal. And it comes only through efficiency in learning, and that only from a balance
of concern for self and for others.
19 GOVERNED BY THE SUN: PHYSICAL FULFILLMENT/EVALUATION
UPRIGHT: Your Material Plane shows the benefit of years of emotional stability, flexibility, patience,
and perseverance. INVERTED: Let the archetype Temperance lead you to this fulfillment.
20 GOVERNED BY JUDGEMENT: HEART’S FULFILLMENT/EVALUATION
UPRIGHT: If at the moment of giving you have received and at the moment of receiving you have
given, then no greater efficiency is possible for the Emotional Plane. Of your relationships it must
be said that they are interwoven, for even the word interdependent suggests an aura of obligation
that has already been paid. INVERTED: Emotions are like the water which will flow into the form
of its container and unto its filling. The shape and size of your heart will determine the form and
extent of your emotions.
21 GOVERNED BY THE WORLD: EGO’S FULFILLMENT/EVALUATION
UPRIGHT: You have been able to talk well and to listen well, and to know when to do which.
Higher mind has been both a wise guide to the lower emotions keeping you from the errors of
mistaken passion, and a wise follower of the higher emotions to the needs of compassion. IN-
VERTED: Let holding back of temperance be the natural companion to the pushing forward of
temptation.
22/0 GOVERNED BY THE FOOL: SOUL’S FULFILLMENT/EVALUATION
UPRIGHT: You have correctly used Temperance to make you stronger, not to weaken and slow you
down. INVERTED: Like water poured into a jug, your emotions take the shape of your heart.
