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

oriented, helping teach others what you have already learned. INVERTED: Off center from your<br />

ideal. Feel uncom<strong>for</strong>table. Behavior may be anti-social, even rude. Take charge of yourself. You, as<br />

chairman of the board over all that constitutes you, of all the elementals in your body, need to pull<br />

rank <strong>and</strong> set some new ground rules <strong>for</strong> where you are going. Time <strong>for</strong> tough self-love.<br />

14 GOVERNED BY TEMPERANCE: EMOTIONAL TEST, NEAR FUTURE<br />

UPRIGHT: Integration of higher emotions <strong>and</strong> spiritual ideals into day-to-day affairs, relationships,<br />

<strong>and</strong> creativity. May have actual teacher/guide at h<strong>and</strong>, learning firsth<strong>and</strong> how to be in the<br />

clouds <strong>and</strong> on the ground at the same time. Balancing love of God, love of guru, love of self, love of<br />

others as different <strong>and</strong> necessary aspects of the same love. INVERTED: Do not lose yourself in the<br />

clouds. Be prudent. Guard against pessimism in creative <strong>and</strong> personal relationships. Do not let the<br />

facility you have with creativity <strong>and</strong> relationships diminish their importance to you.<br />

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

UPRIGHT: Time to balance prudence with dating. Feeling the pull to excellence by your higher<br />

mind, toward living fully in truth. Facing the dem<strong>and</strong>s of your karma more fully than ever be<strong>for</strong>e.<br />

INVERTED: Guard against letting your search <strong>for</strong> authenticity make you overly harsh on others.<br />

They have their path, their timing; you have yours. Do not seek mastery; it will come to you. Avoid<br />

the pitfalls of abstraction <strong>and</strong> false idealism. Ego struggles as veil lifts <strong>and</strong> duality wanes, revealing<br />

the program of the universal ego living in your soul.<br />

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

UPRIGHT: Much the same as <strong>for</strong> position 10, but also—listen <strong>and</strong> hear as you speak to yourself,<br />

urging your soul on its true course. Accept your tasks <strong>and</strong> your load will be light. Deny them <strong>and</strong><br />

your burden will be heavy. INVERTED: Be more serious where you have been much too frivolous.<br />

Be much more lighthearted <strong>and</strong> light-minded where you have been much too serious.<br />

17 GOVERNED BY THE STAR: APIRATIONS OF EGO, GOALS, MAXIMUM EXPECTATIONS<br />

UPRIGHT: To be on your true path, being both free <strong>and</strong> tied at the same time. Proper responsibility.<br />

Acceptance of <strong>Karmic</strong> Contract brings no loads that are too heavy. Desire <strong>for</strong> personal <strong>and</strong><br />

universal goals to coincide. To have courage of convictions. INVERTED: Goals may be abstract,<br />

unrealistic, or immature fantasies. Enlightenment as goal, but with lack of underst<strong>and</strong>ing that such<br />

is not a nirvana or heaven, rather a hill of knowledge <strong>and</strong> acceptance of all that is. Element of<br />

escapism clouds true work. Personal <strong>and</strong> universal goals may be at odds.<br />

18 GOVERNED BY THE MOON: ASPIRATIONS OF HEART, COMPASSION<br />

UPRIGHT: Desire to profoundly affect, <strong>and</strong> be affected by, others. Intimate involvement with your<br />

world. Heart is light in spite of intense involvement in your surroundings, your creativity. Ability<br />

<strong>and</strong> energy to help others without subverting or destroying self. INVERTED: Over-identification of<br />

self with universal emotions, with humanity’s suffering. An element of compassion may be distorted,<br />

false, improper. The adoration trap—making a person or a figurehead the centerpiece of<br />

your emotions, <strong>and</strong> much too personally.<br />

19 GOVERNED BY THE SUN: MATERIAL FULFILLMENT/EVALUATION<br />

UPRIGHT: Discipline will have given you complete freedom. You will be in your world, as you<br />

would have it, doing your thing. A romantic adventurer, yet with strong purpose. Physically very<br />

able <strong>and</strong> flexible even as you age. Active throughout life. Here is the holy man who knows/selects<br />

the exact hour of his death. INVERTED: Somewhat rootless, difficulty settling down in this lifetime.<br />

Perhaps a w<strong>and</strong>erer, even a hobo. Avoidance of duty, of self. Stuck, unable to fly. So overwhelmed<br />

by your own knowledge <strong>and</strong> potential, you may be staggering be<strong>for</strong>e the immensity of it all.<br />

20 GOVERNED BY JUDGEMENT: HEART’S FULFILLMENT/EVALUATION<br />

UPRIGHT: Full love of life, of all living things. Openness <strong>and</strong> sharing will sprout wings on your<br />

heart in the realization of true universal love. INVERTED: Still unable to accept completely the<br />
