Karmic Spread Reading Interpretations
XV THE DEVIL
In These Spread Positions...Interpret The Devil Meanings to Include:
167
1 GOVERNED BY THE MAGICIAN: PHYSICAL GIVENS, OUT OF THE FATHER
UPRIGHT: You have inherited an assertive nature through your father’s line. Mental challenges
compel the body, the Physical Plane, to move forward, be it at work or at play. The blood of the
adventurer/explorer runs in your veins. INVERTED: People like having you on their team, that way
they are assured you are not on the other team. It is possible that you were conceived in violence.
2 GOVERNED BY THE HIGH PRIESTESS: EMOTIONAL GIVENS, OUT OF THE MOTHER
UPRIGHT: You have inherited an assertive nature through your mother’s line. Mental challenges
compel you in creativity and relationships. The blood of a creative trailblazer and an emotional
whirlwind runs in your veins. INVERTED: People will be attracted to you because of your fiery
spirit, and the sense of adventure you exude. It is possible that you were conceived in promiscuity.
3 GOVERNED BY THE EMPRESS: MENTAL GIVENS, INTELLECTUAL PREDISPOSITION
UPRIGHT: You are mentally a tiger, quick and alert for every opportunity, highly ambitious. Your
intellect is powerful and quite capable of influencing people. INVERTED: Anyone who tries to keep
this mental genie in a bottle will be in for a few surprises.
4 GOVERNED BY THE EMPEROR: SPIRITUAL GIVENS, LIFE PURPOSE
UPRIGHT: Born with the ability to see through the veil when necessary as the Devil(15) is the death
of the duality that began with the Lovers(6). In this lifetime you are one with the energy of Prometheus
who brought man the gift of fire, and hence spirit which is the gift of life as we know it now. Your deep
innate understanding of metaphysics gives you a dual package of great knowledge attached to great
responsibility. INVERTED: You will be called upon often to be the devil’s advocate, to champion the
underdog, to side with the uncomfortable viewpoint, to help keep the cutting edge of society sharp.
5 GOVERNED BY THE HIEROPHANT: SYSTEMS BORN INTO, SOCIETAL INFLUENCE
UPRIGHT: This early environment was most likely unconventional, nonconforming, and maybe
even revolutionary, if it was really on the cutting edge. The guiding hand here was mind, not
religion, and could have been agnostic or atheistic, which is not to say anything regarding ethics and
morality. INVERTED: At one extreme, the mental influence may have been very narrow, identifying
with very little in society, and could have been overtly anti-establishment and/or anti-religion. At
the other extreme, it may have been trying to sample everything with the walls of duality-reality torn
completely down, as if trying to live on the other side of the veil.
6 GOVERNED BY THE LOVERS: EMOTIONAL TAPES, BASIS FOR RELATING/CREATING
UPRIGHT: Here in the position of the birth of duality, The Lovers(6), is The Devil card indicating
the death of duality. Thus your passion, the basis of your emotional tapes, is nothing less than an
intellectual fervor for all things to be united, for the veil to be lifted. This is the heart of a dedicated
metaphysician, beating with the same intensity that fired history’s leading philosophical thinkers.
This is a love of adventure of the most challenging and daring sort, seeking nothing less than the
unknown, the inexperienced. INVERTED: At one extreme, the love of adventure here crosses into
danger. Another is the detached passion for the unknown simply for the sake of the unknown. Also,
the desire to stir the pot for the sheer unpredictability of the results, to make trouble. Another
possibility here is incest, or abuse.
7 GOVERNED BY THE CHARIOT: PHYSICAL RESOURCES; MEANS TO ACHIEVE
UPRIGHT: The extent of your knowledge and experience, the range of your activities, has given you
the edge in material matters. Few can move as quickly and with such a clear sense of purpose as you.
INVERTED: At one extreme, you may have sewn too many oats in too many fields. You are experienced,
but can it be marshaled into what you need now? In some cases, penance will be necessary to
fix the cracks in your foundation before going on.
