Karmic Tarot
22/0 GOVERNED BY THE FOOL: SOUL’S FULFILLMENT/EVALUATION
UPRIGHT: Yours has been a liberated soul that shackled itself to the will of God. INVERTED: Let
the Queen of Wands help you to your soul’s fulfillment.
KING OF PENTACLES (EARTH/EARTH)
In These Spread Positions...Interpret the King of Pentacles Meanings to Include:
1 GOVERNED BY THE MAGICIAN: PHYSICAL GIVENS, OUT OF THE FATHER
UPRIGHT: Here is a leader among leaders. Born into the influence of the king of kings, the King of
Pentacles with all the attendant acceptance of responsibility thereto, especially in the Physical/
Material Plane. To have this here suggests that your father’s line may be one of great productivity,
perhaps in a given field of expertise now handed to you. INVERTED: Work hard to avoid letting
your position separate you from those very people who depend on you so much.
2 GOVERNED BY THE HIGH PRIESTESS: EMOTIONAL GIVENS, OUT OF THE MOTHER
UPRIGHT: Position of responsibility and leadership, capable of doing anything for the security and
success of the affairs of this Plane. Your mother may have come from a long line of farmers or
businessmen or the like. You will have the heart of business and pragmatic affairs and it will serve
your creative enterprise well, such as in the fashion industry, or in show business. Family, romance,
business, and social life may be hard to keep separate. INVERTED: Some will say you sacrifice your
personal life for work. Prove them wrong.
3 GOVERNED BY THE EMPRESS: MENTAL GIVENS, INTELLECTUAL PREDISPOSITION
UPRIGHT: Mixing a strong mind and a strong body is not a bad way to begin. A football coach or
quarterback need these. Ultimate responsibility in the Mental Plane suggests the work of finance
ministers in government, or treasurers of corporations, and investment counselors on Wall Street.
INVERTED: There could be a tendency to use most of your attributes that make you a good father
here in the mental arena and neglect your family. Guard against the mental becoming a slave to the
physical/material.
4 GOVERNED BY THE EMPEROR: SPIRITUAL GIVENS, LIFE PURPOSE
UPRIGHT: Many will depend on you for their basic needs and security, possibly their livelihood,
even their lives. This harks back to the lord of the manor/castle whose extended family lived
literally under his wing. Our chief executive officers, leaders of industry, and heads of family
businesses are contemporary society’s closest equivalents. INVERTED: You may be one of those
called upon to carry an extra heavy load.
5 GOVERNED BY THE HIEROPHANT: SYSTEMS BORN INTO, SOCIETAL INFLUENCE
UPRIGHT: Here is the providing father as symbol of your early environment. Your father, or
another prominent male figure, set the tone for the security and welfare that was yours. On Thanksgiving
day at your house, Dad carved the turkey, and the ham, and perhaps the roast as well.
INVERTED: At one extreme, you may have had more father figures than you would have liked. At
the other extreme, the most lasting effect on you was the fact that there was no one to fill this role,
at least not well.
6 GOVERNED BY THE LOVERS: EMOTIONAL TAPES, BASIS OF RELATING/CREATING
UPRIGHT: Your earliest tapes of imprint are of this providing father figure, perhaps your own
father. But it could be of an older family figure such as a grandfather, or of course someone outside
the family, perhaps someone famous whom you came to admire. INVERTED: Distorted, this otherwise
very healthy archetype can become a mock instead of a blueprint/foundation for love and
creativity. At one extreme, the figure is idolized and idealized and real life will find it hard to
compete. At the other extreme, the figure is loathed and by extension either all men or certain types
of men are not to be loved/trusted.
