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

291<br />

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

UPRIGHT: Let the higher ego come into full play. It is proper <strong>for</strong> you to be feeling accomplished,<br />

on target, wise, <strong>and</strong> a host of other good emotions about yourself. This is not the sin of pride. This<br />

is simply the healthy pride of the ego acknowledging its knowledge. As the self becomes more<br />

worldly, literally approaching the World archetype at the end of the Mental Plane, it must feel<br />

larger. INVERTED: Be on your guard as you experience this archetype in the near future, against<br />

both the sin of pride <strong>and</strong> the opposite extreme—denial of self-knowledge.<br />

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

UPRIGHT: This is the proper goal, the aspiration to gnosis that brings true faith. Only by knowing<br />

is the link between the inner <strong>and</strong> outer aspects of God established <strong>and</strong> healthy two-way communication<br />

able to materialize “as above, so below.” INVERTED: The proper goal of gnosis is an acceptance<br />

of the process toward ever increasing wisdom, not a belief in a fixed pinnacle of wisdom—reality<br />

waiting as an apple to be plucked.<br />

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

UPRIGHT: Here the heart desires to bring together knowledge <strong>and</strong> responsibility. It offers energy <strong>and</strong><br />

support to the quest of mind so that in turn the mind can guide the full <strong>and</strong> caring heart toward worthy,<br />

compassionate ends. Here the heart itself seeks wisdom, gnosis. INVERTED: In one extreme, the heart<br />

is far too fond of the ability of mind <strong>and</strong> will not be an adequate check. In the other extreme, the heart<br />

lacks enough respect <strong>for</strong> the mind <strong>and</strong> will be more likely to be foolish.<br />

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

UPRIGHT: The Physical/Material Plane has served well the projects of higher mind, <strong>and</strong> vice versa.<br />

You will be sitting in the midst of your achievements. You will be mentally alert <strong>and</strong> active into your<br />

later years. INVERTED: This archetype is achievable if you heed the lessons of your karmic purpose.<br />

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

UPRIGHT: The wedding of heart <strong>and</strong> mind has produced abundant evidence in the sophistication<br />

of your relationships <strong>and</strong> the intellectual impact of your creative projects. A writer of great passion<br />

would have this archetype. INVERTED: This is an ambitious archetype, but yours <strong>for</strong> the having<br />

with perseverance.<br />

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

UPRIGHT: What a thrill <strong>for</strong> the mind to achieve this in a lifetime. To have submitted the mind of<br />

the ego to the full investigation of itself. You no longer have any secrets to hide from yourself. This<br />

is a precondition of true gnosis, in which higher mind per<strong>for</strong>ms the same operation on itself.<br />

INVERTED: The pain that can come with this level of mental intensity compares directly to the<br />

ache of our muscles after strenuous physical labor, <strong>and</strong> with the ache of our heart as it stretches to<br />

accommodate more <strong>and</strong> more. This is the pain of growth, of true faith.<br />

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

UPRIGHT: This path has been relatively easy, even though much has happened <strong>and</strong> many lessons<br />

have been learned, because responsibility has been sought <strong>and</strong> accepted with as much eagerness as<br />

knowledge. INVERTED: In death, the darkest of the dark, is to be found the lightest of the light. The<br />

path of the <strong>for</strong>mer can contain <strong>for</strong>midable pain. The path of the latter is the path of wisdom <strong>and</strong><br />

need contain no pain.<br />

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

UPRIGHT: Spirituality will permeate, <strong>and</strong> be very visible, in your Physical/Material Plane. If you<br />

do not make your living outwardly with spiritual enterprise, it will somehow still occupy the
