be accepted. INVERTED: Neither be wooed into giving up your freedom completely, much less
enjoying restriction or imprisonment, nor be so footless and fancy free that you miss the lessons of
this archetype altogether.
7 GOVERNED BY THE CHARIOT: PHYSICAL RESOURCES; MEANS TO ACHIEVE
UPRIGHT: Your physical/material base of operations is varied and decentralized, giving you a
great deal of flexibility. Problems in one area are easily compensated for by strengths in other areas.
INVERTED: Be sure that your support systems are not too diverse or too scattered, and that you
have the means to coordinate and draw on them all efficiently. Guard against fragmentation and
duplicity.
8 GOVERNED BY STRENGTH: EMOTIONAL RESOURCES, ENERGY
UPRIGHT: You are a breath of fresh air in the lives of your loved ones and friends. And you breathe
freshness into the creative process with your ability to be both inside and outside a project at the
same time. You have not allowed others to tap into your energy and drain you surreptitiously.
INVERTED: You don’t want to be so much fresh air that you blow people away. Remember to
change gears when you enter others’ arenas. Too much wind will also blow out the flame of love.
9 GOVERNED BY THE HERMIT: BELIEF SYSTEM; BASIS FOR DECISIONS
UPRIGHT: You believe in freedom of expression in creativity and love. As simple as it sounds, it is
among the most complicated concepts to grasp, much less to live by. Both the word love and the
word free are big, covering a multitude of meanings. Put them together and the meanings multiply.
But, in fact, this is a metaphysical archetype that must be learned by us all eventually. Relationships
must balance attachment and nonattachment, in which all parties are therefore loving and loved,
and free as well as committed. INVERTED: Your belief in freedom for the Emotional/Creative
Plane, in free love, is distorted, either too little or too much.
10 GOVERNED BY THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE: CENTRAL MESSAGE, THEME OF READING
UPRIGHT: With all of the Fives in the Minor Arcana Pips, our souls are seen to be in a holding
pattern as energies and entities catch up to one another. With the Five of Cups, we feel this most in
our relationships, with people, or to aspects of our own talents. But along with the uncertainties
comes great freedom and time. Use them well. INVERTED: One or more of the distortions of this
archetype will be centered now.
11 GOVERNED BY JUSTICE: STATE/CONTENT OF MIND
UPRIGHT: You are approaching this emotional interim well, going over your relationships and/or
your creative interests, doing some spring-cleaning before moving on. You are enjoying your sense
of freedom and are looking backward now only so you can go forward. INVERTED: In one extreme,
you are so oriented to your freedom and the future that you may be leaving something important
behind. In the opposite extreme, you are not as free as you should be, preferring to look backward,
hanging onto issues that are truly finished except in your mind. Any of the distortions could creep
in here, such as guilt, frustration, depression.
12 GOVERNED BY THE HANGED MAN: STATE OF EMOTIONS, SUBCONSCIOUS
UPRIGHT: The heart is waiting. It knows it must move on but the time is not right. The urge is to
enjoy the freedom, the range of choices. Time here is best spent on self-improvement, personal
projects, or in light friendships. INVERTED: The heart is impatient to realize its desires. Be cautious
here neither to rekindle issues left in the past, nor to try and jump start situations that are not
for you. In one extreme, this can be enormous heartache. In the opposite extreme, a more callous
heart feels little at the loss of something or someone valuable.
13 GOVERNED BY DEATH: PHYSICAL SITUATION, HARD REALITY
UPRIGHT: Physical or material projects for which you care a great deal are stagnant, maybe even
ending, or already finished. Personal creative projects or businesses, athletic endeavors, a competition—these
are what can suffer in such times. You are dealing with these issues well. In one sense,
