Karmic Tarot
8 GOVERNED BY STRENGTH: EMOTIONAL RESOURCES, ENERGY
UPRIGHT: This king personifies your strength, and whether this is your own character or that of
another, you are fortunate that your emotions are shored up with the healing power of love in your
heart, generating your dedication to your friends and family. INVERTED: At one extreme, you have
been able to lean too heavily on this king for your physical and material needs, and it will only slow
your independent growth in the Emotional Plane. At the other extreme, you feel less than complete
because this piece is missing or not functioning as it should be. This can be disappointed love.
9 GOVERNED BY THE HERMIT: BELIEF SYSTEM; BASIS FOR DECISIONS
UPRIGHT: Your philosophy is “love ‘em and keep on lovin’ ‘em”. As romantic as you are, you are
also a loyalist. Feelings come first and then if necessary you will find the words to fit them. Your
ideology follows your heart. But your cup is the cup of Bacchus and you will always be open and
expressive. For you, life should be, and is, a pleasure. INVERTED: At one extreme, this life might be
a party, too much of a party. The tender love and care here might be too tender and too loving. At
another extreme, this life may not know how to party, how to integrate pleasure into the responsibility
of family and work.
10 GOVERNED BY THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE: CENTRAL MESSAGE/ THEME OF READING
UPRIGHT: Think well on this card, for he is coming to you in one guise or another. There is order
to be put in your emotional/creative house, to take charge and make things right. More leadership
and control is needed here. INVERTED: Of course, you need to heed the King of Cups for your own
benefit, but there are others who depend on you for your soothing, healing presence.
11 GOVERNED BY JUSTICE: STATE/CONTENT OF MIND
UPRIGHT: The mind is on this king of the emotions. He may be a key player in the game on your table.
You are being both authoritative and considerate in this matter. INVERTED: You may think adversely
about this king, or he about you. There may be a tug of war between responsibility and your lust for life.
12 GOVERNED BY THE HANGED MAN: STATE OF EMOTIONS, SUBCONSCIOUS
UPRIGHT: The heart is on this king of the emotions. He may be an object of your affection, or the
centerpiece of a creative project underway. INVERTED: Your heart may be involved with this king,
but rather not be. Or the opposite, this can be the symbol of your heart’s sadness over this person. At
another extreme, you may be enjoying yourself a little too much for your situation.
13 GOVERNED BY DEATH: PHYSICAL SITUATION, HARD REALITY
UPRIGHT: This king may be on your doorstep. He brings the possibilities of good times and
rejoicing as he shows you how to do your chores and have fun at the same time. INVERTED: At one
extreme, there may be a strong influence, a person, who can easily persuade you to go into too deep
water. At the other extreme, this person who charms you may be working absolute wonders, healing
your physical and material woes.
14 GOVERNED BY TEMPERANCE: EMOTIONAL TEST
UPRIGHT: Here comes a mature masculine influence in your near future, and of course it may be
delivered in person. As a result you will be more focused and purposeful in your emotional affairs,
and your creative projects can flourish with such motivation and encouragement behind them.
INVERTED: If the king is someone in your life already, this can show a problem. At one extreme,
there is such a showering of affection that it can create difficulties, a smothering effect. At the other
extreme, there is a lack of caring attention to support your needs.
15 GOVERNED BY THE DEVIL: TEMPTATION/CHALLENGE, FEARS
UPRIGHT: Here on the mental horizon in the near future comes power with a heart. This can be the
partner you have needed to help your realize your goals. For with the intellect here are the personality
and people skills to work miracles. INVERTED: At one extreme, the charming character here
can distort into the charlatan. At the other extreme, the messenger can succeed all too well, leaving
the message in the shadows.
