Karmic Tarot
take of your relationships. No energy debt can accrue, much less multiply, if giving and taking are
according to need and ability to share. INVERTED: You will be feeling an inequity in your emotional
house, a discomfort that you can ease by letting love and grace heal you, or you can exacerbate
the problem further with self-pity or self-righteousness.
15 GOVERNED BY THE DEVIL: TEMPTATION/CHALLENGE, FEARS
UPRIGHT: Here is an opportunity for the mind to help the heart with its karma. Mind can frequently
identify an imbalance in your Emotional Plane, where a need for forgiveness of another or
of yourself is clear, but the heart in its capacity of lower emotions will still find it difficult to clear
the matter. The heart may even feel completely unable to clear. The higher mind, here in the
function of a healthy conscience, is given the power to take action, to make a call or write a letter, to
find the words it needs to say, and in time, too, the heart will believe the words the mind has found
for it. INVERTED: One distortion here is that you may be planning revenge, or you may be anticipating
and fearing it. Here the mind may be making matters worse under the influence of the lower ego.
16 GOVERNED BY THE TOWER: NEXT LESSON, GRACE OF GOD
UPRIGHT: Here comes a big dose of grace that helps the heart over the hurdles of disappointment,
resentment, and anger. Listen, as the music of the spheres plays the notes that resonate in all hearts
and the sense of alienation you feel will surely subside. INVERTED: You cannot do the work of
others in this business of forgiveness, but you can do your part by forgiving yourself if you have
wronged another. Confrontation, or face-to-face retreading of the issue, is not always the correct
choice of resolution, and even when it is appropriate, forgiveness must have already taken place in
the heart before the meeting. The meeting here is not the means to resolution, but merely an
acknowledgment of the fact.
17 GOVERNED BY THE STAR: APIRATIONS OF EGO, GOALS, MAXIMUM EXPECTATIONS
UPRIGHT: This goal is to be able to see clearly with the heart on the level of higher emotions so that
you do not have to be rescued from emotional quagmires by the conscience of mind. In other words,
to be ethically on the mark. INVERTED: This goal is to be among those saved, to be among the
righteous. At one extreme, this can be the low ethics of a get-even mentality, that will jump from one
enemy to the next, creating one in the mind if necessary.
18 GOVERNED BY THE MOON: ASPIRATIONS OF HEART, COMPASSION
UPRIGHT: Here is the aspiration to the Golden Rule, to do unto others as we would have them do
unto us, but purged of the inference of not causing pain because we do not want to feel pain. This
would be a form of selfishness, not selflessness. We must act fairly out of our love for all creation
and a desire to honor it and raise it higher, not out of fear of retribution from our fellow man, from
God. INVERTED: This desire is to be among those saved, but with a counter desire not to be among
those damned. The element of fear taints this aspiration.
19 GOVERNED BY THE SUN: PHYSICAL FULFILLMENT/EVALUATION
UPRIGHT: You have acted in good faith and there is a relaxing rightness to your material house and
all your surroundings. INVERTED: Clean living is to be thorough and complete in all your activities
leaving no hidden residues to become sticky and clog the gears.
20 GOVERNED BY JUDGEMENT: HEART’S FULFILLMENT/EVALUATION
UPRIGHT: Your relationships are balanced, issues of forgiveness having been dealt with, and you
are long since free from guilt and fear. INVERTED: The mind and heart must be able to learn from
one another if your spirit is to be truly light and rising.
21 GOVERNED BY THE WORLD: EGO’S FULFILLMENT/EVALUATION
UPRIGHT: Here there is peace of mind possible only with peace of heart. INVERTED: The mind
and heart must be able to learn from one another if your spirit is to be truly light and rising.
22/0 GOVERNED BY THE FOOL: SOUL’S FULFILLMENT EVALUATION
UPRIGHT: “I take from you the gift of life; I give to you a life of giving.
