Karmic Tarot
majority of your time. INVERTED: Being dedicated to God, if not actually a man of God, carries
obvious challenges to the conduct of physical and material affairs.
2 GOVERNED BY THE HIGH PRIESTESS: EMOTIONAL GIVENS, OUT OF THE MOTHER
UPRIGHT: Spirituality will permeate, and be very visible, in your Emotional/Creative Plane.
Those closest to you, your mate, and close friends will share in your level and means of experience.
INVERTED: You will not have to reject people in this plane; they will deflect from you of their own
accord if they do not feel attracted to the truth that you have seen and now give witness.
3 GOVERNED BY THE EMPRESS: MENTAL GIVENS, INTELLECTUAL PREDISPOSITION
UPRIGHT: Spirituality will permeate, and be very visible, in your Mental Plane. The mind at this
level will be in complete service to gnosis. INVERTED: Your aura of knowledgeable authority will
automatically turn many away from you, but that is as intended and you will not be offended.
4 GOVERNED BY THE EMPEROR: SPIRITUAL GIVENS, LIFE PURPOSE
UPRIGHT: The integration of spirituality into all of your lower levels is not so much a requirement
at this point as it is simply a matter of fact. Spiritual exercise and ritual is a way of life for you.
Spiritual progress at this point is very much the summation, the cap of the progress at the physical,
emotional, and mental levels. INVERTED: The majority of your lessons for this lifetime will lie in
how well you are able to help others reach your level of understanding, rather than in advancing
yourself. You will be blessed with contentment at your level, and well you should be.
5 GOVERNED BY THE HIEROPHANT: SYSTEMS BORN INTO, SOCIETAL INFLUENCE
UPRIGHT: This was a household/community that radiated its obvious intimacy with profound
truths. Learning was most important here; one was expected to walk one’s talk. This archetype in
one positive extreme includes environments like the monastic communities that preserved civilization
as well as religion in the Middle Ages. INVERTED: Here we could have the likes of groups/
communities that ran into some difficulties in spite of good knowledge and good intentions. For
example, Gurdjieff’s followers, especially during the later years after he closed the Prieure outside
Paris in 1933 until he died in 1949, or the confusion and eventual break-up of the Order of the
Golden Dawn in England in the very beginning of the 20th century.
6 GOVERNED BY THE LOVERS: EMOTIONAL TAPES, BASIS FOR RELATING/CREATING
UPRIGHT: Here is a fondness for spiritual stability, establishment, identification of a core of
beliefs that inspire and wrap you in a blanket of truth on which you can rely. INVERTED: To give
oneself over to an ideology of spirituality at an early age may circumvent other necessary emotional
development of a more personal and family nature. For a few paths, this may be the appropriate
karmic path. For most, it is not.
7 GOVERNED BY THE CHARIOT: PHYSICAL RESOURCES, MEANS TO ACHIEVE
UPRIGHT: These spiritual wands will provide more than enough timber for the spokes of your
chariot, taking you everywhere you need to go in good time. Your foundation is most firm, as the
monasteries were able to physically withstand the ravages of the Middle Ages as well as the intellectual
and spiritual destitution. INVERTED: The proper spiritual path should not diminish or create
hardship in your Physical/Material Plane.
8 GOVERNED BY STRENGTH: EMOTIONAL RESOURCES, ENERGY
UPRIGHT: The spiritual truths that have centered you will have aligned you with many kindred
spirits. This is an emotional family of love as well as an intellectual family of thought. INVERTED:
True strength lies in the change which you undergo personally, enabling you to withstand many
difficulties on your own, as opposed to an overreliance on your group for support.
9 GOVERNED BY THE HERMIT: BELIEF SYSTEM; BASIS FOR DECISIONS
UPRIGHT: The core of your belief is an elaborate, yet simple, system of rational understanding of
the nature of spirituality, a mental fix on that which cannot be fixed. INVERTED: Healthy belief,
while generating confidence capable of guiding you toward the fulfillment of your Karmic Contract,
