Karmic Tarot
The survivor’s instinct and talent to shape his environment to his support rather than his demise.
INVERTED: It’s hard to imagine how one can be too resourceful, too independent, but that can be
what is implied here. Or that you have much more of these qualities than you have used thus far.
8 GOVERNED BY STRENGTH: EMOTIONAL RESOURCES, ENERGY
UPRIGHT: By putting yourself into the creative equation, you become part of a conduit of energy
from the Divine to the material, and from the material back to the Divine. You make yourself
instrumental in the give and take pulse of the universe. For all the energy this requires of you, it is
replaced and then some. The creative ecstasy is in a class by itself. Just like sex or an ineffable
moment of revelation, you have to be there. INVERTED: If your processes are the right ones for you,
they will be energizing, not draining. One does not need to suffer to be creative.
9 GOVERNED BY THE HERMIT: BELIEF SYSTEM; BASIS FOR DECISIONS
UPRIGHT: Any job worth doing is worth doing well. Complete dedication to your work with
complete confidence that all else flows from that. This has been the credo of Western civilization,
the idea of progress, which lies at the root of the concept of democracy. INVERTED: The belief in
growth and productivity at any cost is an extreme. Conversely, an anti-growth policy is the opposite
extreme here. Between these two extremes lies the contemporary problem of how to handle the
world’s economy without destroying the earth and her resources in the process.
10 GOVERNED BY THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE: CENTRAL MESSAGE, THEME OF READING
UPRIGHT: Healthy progress/growth presents itself. Produce now. You are awakening to the work
that is your craft. Raise your will to the potential that will be released when you truly apply yourself.
Now is the time for you to take charge of your affairs. The energy you invest will be rewarded.
INVERTED: On the one extreme, the production/progress will be more than expected and a problem
to deal with in itself. On the other extreme, production/progress will be less than expected. Or
hold up production for the moment. Check materials, production process, and such.
11 GOVERNED BY JUSTICE: STATE/CONTENT OF MIND, PLANS
UPRIGHT: You are planning now for growth in your Physical/Material Plane—health, business,
etc. Perhaps taking a much more personal interest in your business or personal affairs (how to
improve the quality/quantity). INVERTED: Perhaps over-doing the thinking in these matters. On
the other hand you may not be planning enough, or about the correct things.
12 GOVERNED BY THE HANGED MAN: STATE OF EMOTIONS, SUBCONSCIOUS
UPRIGHT: While you may not be talking openly about your health, work, or security, internally
this is your concern. Your gut feels it and will push for mental accommodation. INVERTED: The
discomfort here may be severe, with vivid, assertive dreams possible. Or the opposite can be true,
that the gut feeling is not correct and that your fears are unjustified. The subject stills needs to reach
the light, the attention of mind but not for accommodation, for clarification.
13 GOVERNED BY DEATH: PHYSICAL SITUATION, HARD REALITY
UPRIGHT: You are immersed in increase in your Physical/Material Plane—matters of work, diet,
exercise, finances, or such. You may take this as a status report that things are as they should be. You
are doing your work, your exercise, things are going well. INVERTED: Read the above mentioned
general interpretations for the inverted position of this card. Something is affecting your productivity
adversely.
14 GOVERNED BY TEMPERANCE: EMOTIONAL TEST, NEAR FUTURE
UPRIGHT: Your feelings will center optimistically around physical/material progress. Your activities
in work, diet, exercise, finances or such, on your relationships, your personal life and/or
creative endeavors will be very positive. INVERTED: Question of proper progress/conduct in physical/material
matters will be of concern. The effect of your physical/material activities is positive
but so profound as to require accommodation. On other hand, the effect may be potentially harmful
and will have to be handled deftly.
