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

Literate. INVERTED: The atmosphere may have seemed somewhat rudderless, full of activity, but<br />

to what avail? Or the climate may have been argumentative <strong>and</strong> opinionated, with little freedom of<br />

thought encouraged. Too much or too little culture, civility.<br />

6 GOVERNED BY THE LOVERS: EMOTIONAL TAPES, BASIS FOR RELATING/CREATING<br />

UPRIGHT: Your passion <strong>for</strong> mental exchange, conversation, debate, critique leads you by the nose.<br />

Your fascination with language <strong>and</strong> communication serves you well in your relationships <strong>and</strong><br />

hopefully this talent is being used professionally. This archetype serves well the newspaper reporter.<br />

God bless your supportive mate <strong>and</strong> family. INVERTED: Your passion may be <strong>for</strong> the heat<br />

of the argument, or simply to possess large quantities of in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>for</strong> your own satisfaction, to be<br />

clever <strong>for</strong> the sake of being clever.<br />

7 GOVERNED BY THE CHARIOT: PHYSICAL RESOURCES, MEANS TO ACHIEVE<br />

UPRIGHT: Your file cabinet or its equivalent is what you rely on to make your living. There is<br />

always an idea, a solution in your bag. You can jettison a losing position quickly in favor of a better<br />

solution. Your quickness of mind enables you to keep many irons in the fire. This archetype serves<br />

well the researcher/experimenter. INVERTED: You can be too quick to shift positions. Review the<br />

general meanings (inverted) above <strong>for</strong> the distortions such as restlessness, inconsistency, a sharp<br />

tongue, may have weakened your foundation.<br />

8 GOVERNED BY STRENGTH: EMOTIONAL RESOURCES, ENERGY<br />

UPRIGHT: Your ability to parry <strong>and</strong> thrust, quickness of foot as well as mind have enabled you to<br />

keep a stable of reliable relationships ongoing. You are a valuable <strong>and</strong> highly desirable ally. You are<br />

robust <strong>and</strong> ready at all times. INVERTED: Sometimes you may need all your energy to keep things<br />

untangled. Your agility can be self-defeating on occasion. You waste energy unnecessarily. Sometimes<br />

you seem to be competing with yourself.<br />

9 GOVERNED BY THE HERMIT: BELIEF SYSTEM; BASIS FOR DECISIONS<br />

UPRIGHT: Ideas must be stirred to keep them alive. If not a gypsy in your heart, you are one in your<br />

mind. For you may not require freedom to roam physically, even emotionally, but you will always<br />

reserve the privilege to travel with your mind, <strong>and</strong> yes, to change your mind. One of your mottoes is,<br />

“Give people the in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>and</strong> let them make up their own minds.” You are Socrates at the core.<br />

INVERTED: At some point, you must begin to weigh various viewpoints <strong>and</strong> then some become<br />

more equal than others.<br />

10 GOVERNED BY THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE: CENTRAL MESSAGE, THEME OF READING<br />

UPRIGHT: It may be a mental holiday, but you had better take your homework along. A time <strong>for</strong><br />

editing. How to make the past relevant to the future? For now, <strong>for</strong>get the long-range plan. Use one<br />

interim plan after another. Concentrate on the short term. INVERTED: Avoid all the distortions of<br />

this archetype by keeping them in mind. Be decisive in small steps, with things over which you have<br />

control <strong>and</strong> can be certain. Then exp<strong>and</strong>.<br />

11 GOVERNED BY JUSTICE: STATE/CONTENT OF MIND<br />

UPRIGHT: The mind thinks of itself here—how to improve, to better satisfy its goals. With what<br />

does it want to spend its time? Brainstorming an idea or project without a pressing deadline. Mental<br />

leisure is at the top of your agenda. INVERTED: Meaning here is similar to interpretations <strong>for</strong> the<br />

Five of Cups except the question is about ideas, goals, not emotions. In one extreme, you are so<br />

oriented to your freedom of expression <strong>and</strong> the future that you may be leaving something important<br />

behind. In the opposite extreme, you are not as free as you should be, preferring to look backward,<br />

hanging onto old issues or ideas that are truly finished except in your mind.<br />

12 GOVERNED BY THE HANGED MAN: STATE OF EMOTIONS, SUBCONSCIOUS<br />

UPRIGHT: The mind swirling in the Emotional Plane. The heart’s priority is your mental situation,<br />

concerned about your progress toward goals of the ego. INVERTED: Depression. Disappointment.<br />

On one h<strong>and</strong>, this heart is indifferent to the problems of the Mental Plane. On the other h<strong>and</strong>,<br />

you could be exacerbating the problem with overreaction <strong>and</strong> misplaced sentiment.
