<strong>Karmic</strong> Spread Reading Interpretations<br />

221<br />

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

UPRIGHT: You must face how to h<strong>and</strong>le your mental growth, how to extract your position <strong>and</strong> selfexpression<br />

from what has influenced you thus far. Apprehension here comes from the fact that this<br />

is a cutting of the intellectual umbilical cord as you launch into the unknown of your own ideas. But<br />

just as you did not lose your mother when you separated from her at birth, neither will you be alone<br />

in this process. You do not need to wait <strong>for</strong> further in<strong>for</strong>mation or advice. INVERTED: While you<br />

certainly need not fear this extroversion of your personality <strong>and</strong> goals, you should not race ahead<br />

expecting the waters to part as the world falls at your feet. You must be convincing at each step.<br />

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

UPRIGHT: Here is the wise mind springing <strong>for</strong>th from the loving, pure heart. This marks the<br />

beginning of a productive period of self-assertion, building on a solid base of discerning knowledge.<br />

You are energized <strong>and</strong> ready to make yourself seen <strong>and</strong> heard, with a mind directed to the noblest<br />

of causes. INVERTED: You will need to be patient, as your mind waits <strong>for</strong> the energy the heart must<br />

give it to move <strong>for</strong>ward. That process is taking place. The lessons presented in this reading are<br />

aimed at helping that happen now. The knowledge you will have acquired temporarily outpaces the<br />

heart’s motivation to use it to maximum effect.<br />

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

UPRIGHT: Your goal is to be capable of digesting, underst<strong>and</strong>ing, organizing, <strong>and</strong> communicating<br />

as much as you can in the shortest amount of time possible. To use the heart’s desires effectively.<br />

INVERTED: This goal can be lofty, with teaching <strong>and</strong> sharing your knowledge as the end purpose of<br />

the hours of assimilation <strong>and</strong> study, but it can also be debased into a self-serving exercise of the<br />

lower ego caught up in the sheer capacity of the intellect.<br />

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

UPRIGHT: The heart wishes to provide the mind with the energy <strong>and</strong> motivation it needs to reach<br />

higher <strong>and</strong> higher levels of knowledge <strong>and</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>ing. You will see that wisdom comes from the<br />

mutual ef<strong>for</strong>t of the heart to satisfy the will of mind, <strong>and</strong> the mind to satisfy the desire of the heart.<br />

INVERTED: The heart, just as the mind, is capable of erring. It must not provide the mind with more<br />

energy than it needs, <strong>and</strong> certainly it must renege if the mind’s projects are improper. But the heart<br />

can err in favoring it’s own projects at the expense of worthwhile mental endeavors.<br />

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

UPRIGHT: A strong, clear mind, very much active <strong>and</strong> in control of your affairs. An important<br />

contributor in the daily affairs of society. You continue to grow <strong>and</strong> produce throughout this<br />

lifetime. INVERTED: Study the general interpretations (inverted) <strong>for</strong> the Three of Swords to assure<br />

that you are not headed in any of these directions.<br />

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

UPRIGHT: The heart is pleased with the work the mind has done in integrating the inner needs into<br />

the programs of the ego. As a result your creative potential has been maximized along with the<br />

interaction in all major relationships. INVERTED: Look at the interpretations of this reading with<br />

the upright meaning in mind to move more efficiently in this direction. Do not neglect the mental<br />

component in your relationships <strong>and</strong> creative thrust. The heart must feed the mind.<br />

21 GOVERNED BY THE WORLD: EGO’S FULFILLMENT/EVALUATION<br />

UPRIGHT: You know that you have managed your mental affairs well, taking full advantage of<br />

opportunities to learn <strong>and</strong> yet pausing to teach as well. You have laid a solid foundation <strong>for</strong> yourself<br />

<strong>and</strong> your heirs. Founders of schools leave this mark. INVERTED: Look at the interpretations of this<br />

reading with the upright meaning in mind to move more efficiently in this direction. Neither<br />

neglect the role of mind to be a voice <strong>for</strong> your emotions, nor let the emotions make so much noise<br />

that the mind is distracted from its duties.
