Karmic Spread Reading Interpretations
273
9 GOVERNED BY THE HERMIT: BELIEF SYSTEM; BASIS FOR DECISIONS
UPRIGHT: This is not only a “can do,” but a “better do, do better,” (the buck stops here) kind of
philosophy. This is a man who knows we fell into the garden of Eden, not out of it, and is intent on
being as good a caretaker/gardener as he can manage. He takes everything that is, as exactly that.
“This is it” as Alan Watts liked to say. If there is a disaster, you begin by picking up the pieces, not
by wondering, “why me?” INVERTED: At one extreme is the negative attitude that nothing one
does matters. This is a horrid distortion of a belief that it is all God’s will, so why bother. At the
other extreme is the attitude that it is all up to me, a distortion in the other direction that believes it
is all man’s will.
10 GOVERNED BY THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE: CENTRAL MESSAGE/ THEME OF READING
UPRIGHT: Now is the opportunity to make concrete headway. Here is work that you love and do
well. This is the color of your parachute. Get the team ready. INVERTED: More work and more
perfection is not the answer. And by the way, you do not have to do everything. Some things are
better left undone.
11 GOVERNED BY JUSTICE: STATE/CONTENT OF MIND
UPRIGHT: You feel prepared, content that you are doing all that you can do to bring the present
situation to its right conclusion. INVERTED: On one extreme, you think that you have done all that
you can do and that it may not be enough; what have the others done? Another extreme is that you
are not content with your work—either the quality, the quantity, or both.
12 GOVERNED BY THE HANGED MAN: STATE OF EMOTIONS, SUBCONSCIOUS
UPRIGHT: You are very caught up in the work at hand, the activity at the physical/material level.
When you are in your studio, you are in your heaven. INVERTED: For you, what you are doing is
solving everyone’s problem, not just yours. But look around, is it really? Your work may be so
introspective and sheltered that it is losing the very validity that you cherish. Have all the right
people been involved? Or too many?
13 GOVERNED BY DEATH: PHYSICAL SITUATION, HARD REALITY
UPRIGHT: The production line is running. Get the boxes ready; it is time to package and deliver.
Now you can see what all the talking has been about. Here is the latest model, the newest creation.
INVERTED: The output may not be going according to plan, or desire. Could the plans and the
production be going too well? Will the process stop when you want it to?
14 GOVERNED BY TEMPERANCE: EMOTIONAL TEST
UPRIGHT: With your involvement in your projects and your success, you must work even harder at
how you interface with your loved ones and co-workers. For as much as they share your dreams and
back you, they cannot know all that you know, and feel all that you feel. INVERTED: On the one
hand, you may be much too engrossed in your work or physical activity. On the other hand, you may
have difficulty keeping up your level of energy and desire to pursue your work or physical interests.
15 GOVERNED BY THE DEVIL: TEMPTATION/CHALLENGE, FEARS
UPRIGHT: Your integration of spirit into your work produces amazing results, perhaps more
amazing to others than to you. INVERTED: Your success may be somewhat daunting to others, even
to yourself in some respects. Another extreme is that your intellectual interest in your work, your
physical activities, or in material matters is on the wane.
16 GOVERNED BY THE TOWER: NEXT LESSON, GRACE OF GOD
UPRIGHT: This is the mark of the professional, not the amateur or the apprentice. People will look
to you for the best in your field of expertise. If you have been awaiting accreditation or licensing, it
will be yours not later than this time next year. For others already in gear, this will be a time to put
your best foot forward. Your work will be right on target. INVERTED: This suggests that you may be
attempting the wrong thing, or too much of a good thing. On the one hand, your product may be the
wrong product or not good enough for the situation. On the other hand, it may be too good and
therefore inappropriate.
