Karmic Spread Reading Interpretations
333
highly motivated in those relationships and creative endeavors that appeal to your heart. Your
emotions are focused and you are always in charge of them, never the other way around. IN-
VERTED: Some may feel slighted that they did not make the cut into your inner circle.
3 GOVERNED BY THE EMPRESS: MENTAL GIVENS, INTELLECTUAL PREDISPOSITION
UPRIGHT: In your Mental Plane there will be great clarity and decisiveness, but always with an
open mind. There is a fierce determination here for seeing worthwhile causes through to completion,
with a combination of iron will and caring heart. You may well make your living as some sort
of educator. In groups, you are frequently the source of ideas. 1NVERTED: Some might find you
somewhat unyielding once you have identified a goal.
4 GOVERNED BY THE EMPEROR: SPIRITUAL GIVENS, LIFE PURPOSE
UPRIGHT: Here the intellect is applied to nurturing and caring. Here is society’s librarian who is
guardian of our collective knowledge, our recorded history. This is the spirit that modern society is
witnessing at the turn of the 21st century, the spirit that asserts equal priority of the feminine
principle. This is the warrior female whose causes are passions worth fighting to the death for. Joan
of Arch lives in this archetype. INVERTED: You will be called on to be the champion for many who
need your courage.
5 GOVERNED BY THE HIEROPHANT: SYSTEMS BORN INTO, SOCIETAL INFLUENCE
UPRIGHT: Discipline and order may have been more obvious than tender love, and care, yet this
was a safe and encouraging environment in which your best interests were of importance. IN-
VERTED: At one extreme, there may have been more discipline than necessary and you may have
been pushed to excel. In some cases, there may have been little obvious love, and for some even
abuse may have been the norm.
6 GOVERNED BY THE LOVERS: EMOTIONAL TAPES, BASIS FOR RELATING/CREATING
UPRIGHT: Here is the passion for knowledge, for gnosis, an early understanding of the central
importance of learning which enables us to be fully human and to realize and maximize our
potential. Here is the source of mental will which merges with emotional desire to move us upward.
This is ambition in a young heart. INVERTED: At one extreme, you may be driven to achieve, to
establish control over your affairs, and if needed, the affairs of others.
7 GOVERNED BY THE CHARIOT: PHYSICAL RESOURCES, MEANS TO ACHIEVE
UPRIGHT: This may be someone, perhaps a family member on whom you can fall back. The
advice you receive here is most important. This could also suggest that your own independence is
your greatest asset. You react quickly, stepping into the breach of any problem to nip it in the bud.
INVERTED: At one extreme, you may try to be much more independent than is necessary or wise.
8 GOVERNED BY STRENGTH: EMOTIONAL RESOURCES, ENERGY
UPRIGHT: You are stronger than most because you have the objectivity that many lack in emotional
matters. No one who knows you would even consider taking advantage of you. Your relationships
and creative projects work because they are so soundly rooted in reality. INVERTED: At one
extreme, you may be so overtly strong that you are ironically making yourself weaker in this Plane
by denying yourself some healthy situations. Too much independence perhaps. This can be a
disappointed love.
9 GOVERNED BY THE HERMIT: BELIEF SYSTEM; BASIS FOR DECISIONS
UPRIGHT: A clean mind for you is a pure heart as well, and you will work to make everything fit
into place in your ideology. Here is faith in man’s mind, in his inventive nature and capacity. You
seek to understand history, your present surroundings, and the future. This is the belief in Sophia,
wisdom as the path. This is the root of Gnosticism, the movement with the power of mind toward
the center of all that is, which is a female divinity, nameless and unknowable, prior to creation and
the male creator god of the western Judaeo-Christian tradition. INVERTED: The pitfall here is like
that of many mental systems, that belief can all too easily become dogma, and be used to justify
actions.
