347<br />

the family, perhaps someone famous whom you came to admire. INVERTED: Distorted, this otherwise<br />

very healthy archetype can become a block instead of a blueprint/foundation <strong>for</strong> love <strong>and</strong><br />

creativity. At one extreme, the figure is idolized <strong>and</strong> idealized <strong>and</strong> real life will find it hard to<br />

compete. At the other extreme, the figure is loathed <strong>and</strong> by extension either all men or all of certain<br />

types of men are not to be loved/trusted.<br />

7 GOVERNED BY THE CHARIOT: PHYSICAL RESOURCES, MEANS TO ACHIEVE<br />

UPRIGHT: You have someone—a family, a partner, an angel—that you can fall back on. And this<br />

shoulder is one who can show you the greater scope in which your difficulties are resolved as lessons<br />

learned. With him by your side, no problem will be too great to h<strong>and</strong>le. INVERTED: At one<br />

extreme, this suggests that the a<strong>for</strong>ementioned may have been your safety net, but that it is not as<br />

strong <strong>for</strong> you at this time. At the other extreme, there may be too much support that you have relied<br />

on too heavily <strong>for</strong> your own independent development.<br />

8 GOVERNED BY STRENGTH: EMOTIONAL RESOURCES, ENERGY<br />

UPRIGHT: This king personifies your strength, <strong>and</strong> whether this is your own character or that of<br />

another, you are <strong>for</strong>tunate that your emotions are shored up with this instinctive wisdom from your<br />

Spiritual Plane intent on seeing you get full pleasure from your loving heart. INVERTED: At one<br />

extreme, you have been able to lean too heavily on this king <strong>for</strong> your physical <strong>and</strong> material needs,<br />

<strong>and</strong> it will only slow your independent growth in the Emotional Plane. At the other extreme, you<br />

feel less than complete because this piece is missing or not functioning as it should be. This can be<br />

disappointed love.<br />

9 GOVERNED BY THE HERMIT: BELIEF SYSTEM; BASIS FOR DECISIONS<br />

UPRIGHT: Here is the wisdom of Solomon, <strong>for</strong> you make every human ef<strong>for</strong>t to bring to the affairs<br />

of men the intelligence that keeps order in the heavens. But this wisdom accepts that man, divinely<br />

inspired, is crucial in maintaining this order. Here in the Minor Arcana is the purest energy of the<br />

Divine right of kings. INVERTED: At one extreme, is the divinely inspired soul, which however well<br />

intended, attempts too much, accepting <strong>and</strong> thereby presuming much of God’s responsibility/<br />

authority. At another extreme, is the man in a position of spiritual leadership who simply presumes<br />

too much without good intentions.<br />

10 GOVERNED BY THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE: CENTRAL MESSAGE, THEME OF READING<br />

UPRIGHT: Think well on this card <strong>for</strong> he is coming to you in one guise or another. There is order<br />

to be put in your spiritual house, to take charge <strong>and</strong> make things right. More leadership <strong>and</strong> control<br />

is needed here. INVERTED: Of course, you need to heed the King of W<strong>and</strong>s <strong>for</strong> your own benefit,<br />

but there are others who depend on you <strong>for</strong> your spiritual knowledge.<br />

11 GOVERNED BY JUSTICE: STATE/CONTENT OF MIND<br />

UPRIGHT: The King of W<strong>and</strong>s occupies your thoughts, either in his person or his characteristics.<br />

Clarification of spiritual issues, of messages that affect those who listen to you, is the issue, of <strong>for</strong>mal<br />

procedures in spiritual business—this is the nature of your mental moment. INVERTED: You may<br />

think adversely about this king, or he about you. A subversion of the spiritual dogma or message is<br />

possible.<br />

12 GOVERNED BY THE HANGED MAN: STATE OF EMOTIONS, SUBCONSCIOUS<br />

UPRIGHT: The King of W<strong>and</strong>s fills your heart. It may be his person that attracts <strong>and</strong> occupies you,<br />

or his lessons may be part of a creative project on your drawing board. INVERTED: Your heart<br />

maybe involved with this king, but rather not be. Or the opposite, this can be the symbol of your<br />

heart’s sadness over this person. Spiritual betrayal by one’s teacher/mentor can appear here.<br />

13 GOVERNED BY DEATH: PHYSICAL SITUATION, HARD REALITY<br />

UPRIGHT: This king is already in your house of physical/material affairs. Things may be glowing<br />

with his presence. Sometimes guardian angels can be very physical. INVERTED: As good <strong>and</strong><br />

wonderful <strong>for</strong> others as this person may be, he seems to be adversely affecting your day-to-day<br />

reality. There are mismatches of all kinds on all levels.
