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

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

UPRIGHT: The mind is at rest as you finish up the affairs of this incarnation. This lifetime was a<br />

laboratory of efficiency. You have honored your beliefs while integrating the thoughts of others.<br />

INVERTED: Work now to be sure that the mind is not serving itself at the cost of the other Planes,<br />

nor is it at odds with the overall <strong>Karmic</strong> Contract.<br />

22/0 GOVERNED BY THE FOOL: SOUL’S FULFILLMENT/EVALUATION<br />

UPRIGHT: Confidence in your mind’s ability to carry the day <strong>for</strong> your heart. A trust in your rational<br />

ability to pull yourself up out of your elemental roots <strong>and</strong> present your enlightened being to a<br />

patiently waiting God. The belief that with the power of your mind you can <strong>and</strong> will prevail.<br />

INVERTED: You must be on guard against the extremes here. Be neither arrogant as to the mind’s<br />

capacity, nor naive.<br />

FOUR OF WANDS<br />

In These Spread Positions...Interpret the Four of W<strong>and</strong>s Meanings to Include:<br />

1 GOVERNED BY THE MAGICIAN: PHYSICAL GIVENS, OUT OF THE FATHER<br />

UPRIGHT: The affairs of the Physical Plane are marked by a sensitivity to values much higher than<br />

the instincts <strong>for</strong> protection <strong>and</strong> survival. While you may not be a priest in this lifetime, your level of<br />

devotion <strong>and</strong> integration of spirit into the Material Plane have ordained you nevertheless. Your<br />

work will be richly inspired. INVERTED: In time, your observation of divine law may lead you to<br />

extreme, perhaps rare, <strong>for</strong>ms of devotion.<br />

2 GOVERNED BY THE HIGH PRIESTESS: EMOTIONAL GIVENS, OUT OF THE MOTHER<br />

UPRIGHT: The affairs of the Emotional Plane are marked by a sensitivity to values much higher<br />

than the desire <strong>for</strong> procreation <strong>and</strong> extension via creativity. This spiritual foundation offers a base<br />

<strong>for</strong> receiving profound inspiration to in<strong>for</strong>m your talents <strong>and</strong> give them expression, <strong>and</strong> it lays a<br />

ground <strong>for</strong> your network of relationships to fertilize. You are demonstrative in all your relationships.<br />

INVERTED: You are capable of exceptional works of great beauty, some of which will be your<br />

relationships themselves. The depth <strong>and</strong> range of your emotional perception will be a challenge.<br />

3 GOVERNED BY THE EMPRESS: MENTAL GIVENS, INTELLECTUAL PREDISPOSITION<br />

UPRIGHT: The affairs of the Mental Plane are marked by a sensitivity to values much higher than<br />

the drive <strong>for</strong> continuity through the legacy of your intellectual achievements. You will be well<br />

in<strong>for</strong>med principally because you will always be listening. There is a pleasant seriousness in your<br />

ambition to be of value. INVERTED: You will enjoy the intricacies of spiritual observation with an<br />

attention <strong>for</strong> detail matched by few. The depth <strong>and</strong> range of your mental perception will be a<br />

challenge.<br />

4 GOVERNED BY THE EMPEROR: SPIRITUAL GIVENS, LIFE PURPOSE<br />

UPRIGHT: Your life is to be a celebration, an observation of perennial wisdom. There is a lightness<br />

to you even at your most serious moments (of which there are many). For you are a most serious<br />

person, tenaciously efficient, yet so obviously effective to everyone’s benefit as to draw no criticism.<br />

Quite the contrary, you are sought out <strong>for</strong> that quality <strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong> your natural ability to teach by<br />

example. INVERTED : As people profit by being near you, it may be difficult to guard the time you<br />

need <strong>for</strong> yourself. Ritual <strong>and</strong> observation may become <strong>for</strong>ces to be reckoned with.<br />

5 GOVERNED BY THE HIEROPHANT: SYSTEMS BORN INTO, SOCIETAL INFLUENCE<br />

UPRIGHT: The spiritual practices observed in your early environment may or may not have been<br />

of an organized religious nature. But they were truly spiritual in a meaningful way. There was great<br />

awareness <strong>and</strong> there was ritual observation. Daily practice here was a healthy blueprint <strong>for</strong> living.<br />

INVERTED: What you saw was not necessarily what you got. There may have been empty observations,<br />

even hypocrisy. Discipline may have been <strong>for</strong>ced as a misunderst<strong>and</strong>ing/misapplication of<br />

spiritual order.
