Karmic Tarot
earnest and complete conscious awareness of the lessons of the spiritual level. INVERTED: The
catharsis from mental to spiritual is in progress. What pain there may be is yours, yours alone; enjoy
it now as it will pass and you will forever miss it, for it is sweet pain indeed. This is the pain of
separateness which you are leaving behind. By going easy on others, you will be going easier on
yourself.
11 GOVERNED BY JUSTICE: STATE/CONTENT OF MIND
UPRIGHT: You are very aware of the transformation through which you are going. You may even
be dealing with this subject of the dark night of the soul for someone else or for purposes of study.
INVERTED: Too much or too little conscious attention has been paid to the subject of transformation.
Try and get a grip on what all the knowledge you have been given is for.
12 GOVERNED BY THE HANGED MAN: STATE OF EMOTIONS, SUBCONSCIOUS
UPRIGHT: The heart, and therefore your subconscious, are immersed in the catharsis of the ego
into greater awareness. This increase in knowledge and the greater acceptance of responsibility is
enriching the contents of your emotional world, your relationships, and your creative endeavors.
INVERTED: Difficulties with too much or too little of this archetype may be painful and trying on
your relationships. Or it may be affecting your energy and ability to create.
13 GOVERNED BY DEATH: PHYSICAL SITUATION, HARD REALITY
UPRIGHT: Say goodbye to the old you and hello to the new, for this is a moment of profound
change. And while this is a transformation centered on the cusp between the mental and the spiritual,
there will be profound physical changes as well. While you are intellectually more heavy,
having acquired much knowledge and accepted much responsibility, paradoxically you will be
much lighter in spirit. You may appear both older and younger at the same time—older because
your wisdom shows through, and younger because of your buoyancy. INVERTED: Because this
transformation at the upper levels does have physical repercussions, your body may have some
difficulty assimilating the changes. But rest assured that these are growing pains much like those
experienced as a teenager and the discomfort will pass. Exercise and bodywork are especially
important at this time.
14 GOVERNED BY TEMPERANCE: EMOTIONAL TEST
UPRIGHT: Those less secure in their relationships with you may feel they are losing you. But if
anything is lost, it will not be because of anything you do or say. INVERTED: Yes, you are a pretty
smart cookie, but how are you using it in your relationships? How are you using your talents?
15 GOVERNED BY THE DEVIL: TEMPTATION/CHALLENGE, FEARS
UPRIGHT: That wonderful moment lies in the near future, when you will have assimilated enough
knowledge and assumed enough of its related responsibilities to be thrust onto the higher path to
wisdom. You are smart, you know it, but you will not blow it. INVERTED: This archetype in this
position may just be what the word temptation was coined for. You have achieved such a mass of
knowledge and have been so successful in the use of your willpower that you may be on the threshold
of thinking that the power of mind is all you need. The mind untempered with input from the
heart and spirit can create a despot, the product of an uncontrollable ego.
16 GOVERNED BY THE TOWER: NEXT LESSON, GRACE OF GOD
UPRIGHT: Your transition to higher mind in preparation for the robes of the initiate is very
smooth. INVERTED: There may be some rough spots in your transition, but they will be met by you
confidently and with dispatch for you are being called forward and must be ready.
17 GOVERNED BY THE STAR: APIRATIONS OF EGO, GOALS, MAXIMUM EXPECTATIONS
UPRIGHT: To some you must appear to be very singular in purpose, dedicated to a cause, for this
is mind on course for mind. As narrow as that may sound, it is proper and very efficient. INVERTED:
This goal is singular in purpose, to a fault, for it is the ego in search of simple self-satisfaction. This is
the desire for knowledge in order to control one’s destiny.
