THE CHARIOT

Symbol-Charioteer is controlling two horses that are trying

to go in different directions.

Meaning-The spiritual forces are joined in harmony

but the physical or sexual forces are working to oppose each other.

THE CHARIOT is related to many of the other cards of the Tarot. It is related to the Princess of Keys, the Ace of Keys and the Ace of Locks.

It’s Element is Fire. It’s power is Earth of Fire. It controls the Sepiroth GEBURAH and the planet MARS.

In the Tarot Trumps this leads from GEBURAH to BINAH.

A point is reached where everything that can be done with spiritual energies has been done. I now feel the need for sexual and physical energies from her. She flirts a little and encourages my attentions up to a point. It is enough so that my dreams begin to have a heavy sexual element to them. My energy is flowing to her and she is rapidly developing an etheric body.

The combining of her energies and my energies reach a point where she is able for the first time to spontaneously project an etheric body. She forcibly pulls etheric male energy out of me to do this. This is a major empowerment for her even though it is not a permanent thing. She knows that she can do it now.

It represents her first experience as a “complete” person by having her own etheric body temporarily activated.

This is so threatening to her co-dependent relationship with her collective soulmate that she abruptly severs all physical contact with me. That contact continues unhindered on the astral and etheric levels through increased astral activity.

Her desire to be a complete person will continue without further physical contact with me. She is on the road to becoming a whole person and having a permanently activated etheric body.

What is happening here is that we have been joined spiritually as one soul but at the physical and sexual lower levels she is joined as one soul to her collective soulmate. This crisis causes the physical break between us. She feels that her physical relationship is too important to lose. Because we are joined at the spiritual levels every action is working toward a peaceful resolution between us in spite of apparent differences. Thus this action to save the relationship with her collective soulmate will put added strains upon it that will ultimately destroy it. Even acts of opposition work to achieve the final goal.

This works in other areas of my life also where my efforts to achieve something are futile or unrealistic. Still the action of doing these actions helps me to resolve serious difficulties in spite of myself. That is the message of this Trump. Our efforts will aid our progress in spite of our self destructive intentions. Our normal self defeating actions open the way for real progress that was previously unexpected. We stumble over the solutions to problems.

Symbol-Male and female figures in the astral

reaching out to touch each other.

I express my interest in her and in deepening the relationship. She tells me for the first time that she is already in a relationship with someone else. But she is willing to continue sharing and deepening the relationship with me and doesn’t want it to end. She is torn between her collective soulmate and me. We both decide to let things continue and see what develops in time as we get to know each other better. Our sharing continues on a deeper emotional level and we both start having dreams about each other. Our spiritual and emotional fantasies merge together astrally to create a future that is a combination of the things she wants of life and the things that I want of life.

In my dreams I am given spontaneous visions of what appears to be an astrally created future that is a synthesis of the things that I want in life and the things that she wants in life. This cooperative effort represents a potential future that we may someday experience. It concludes with our being astrally drawn together as a couple and bound together by astral forces.

This is a healing process for both of us and acts to purify and drive out other discordant energies such as from others and from her collective soulmate. He continues to be apart of her life through the physical and sexual link.

We both put tremendous effort into the creation of our mutual fantasy life. At it’s conclusion we have both developed permanently activated astral bodies out of spiritual energies and have become very powerful on the astral. These astral bodies give the ability to astral project at will.

STRENGTH

Symbol-A bruised and battered female warrior raises

her sword in victory. With her is a saber tooth tiger.

Meaning-She is willing to consider deepening the relationship and getting more personal but she remains trapped in her physical co-dependent relationship.

She wants to be a complete person.

I have positively identified her as the soulmate that has been showing up in my dreams since long before I even knew her. I express my interest in her and she encourages me to share more deeply and more personally with her.

She is genuinely interested in what type of person that I really am, even though she is already in a physical relationship. She wants to know more about me. I have become an important part of her life in a spiritual and Platonic way and she feels safe and secure around me. I am a protective influence.

THE HERMIT

Symbol-The figure of a hermit with a staff.

He radiates an incredible amount of energy.

Meaning-The soulmate attempts to change the Platonic relationship into a more physical and personal one and introduces for the first time a sexual element or physical element into the Platonic relationship. This entrance of the earth energy into a Spiritual relationship causes great turmoil and upheaval. The soulmate feels an empty void in his life.

THE HERMIT is related to many other cards of the Tarot. It is related to The Princess of Keys, Two of Keys and the Two of Locks.

The major events that had been taking my time and energy are now over and a deep void enters into my life. I wonder what will fill my life now that these exciting things are over. On the social level I am not doing well either. There is a growing opposition within the collective to my efforts that is under organization. I still have the support of my friends but am also drawing criticism from some others. I feel kind of lost and abandoned by the emptiness that now fills my life.

Feeling a deep and empty void in my life I attempt to change the Platonic relationship with my soulmate into a more personal and emotional one. This introduces for the first time a sexual or physical or earth element into what was a Platonic relationship and causes her to feel great turmoil and upheaval as it threatens her current physical relationship with her collective soulmate. A relationship that I don’t even know about. This is an uncomfortable period for her also as she deals with these conflicting issues.

The long awaited physical events in my life take priority over anything else and my Platonic contact with my soulmate takes a lesser priority. I still enjoy these exchanges but have more important things to do. I am confronting and dealing with long neglected areas of my life and it is a very rewarding experience for me. This is a time of incredible personal gains for me.

For her our continued contact increases in importance and takes up more and more time and energy and her physical relationship begins to suffer a little because of it. The new soulmate contact has gained ascendancy and is dominant at this point. She misses our conversations and is beginning to realize just how important they are to her.

JUSTICE

Symbol-A dagger is balanced by its point on the end of an outstretched finger.

Meaning-Here is equilibrium and she is content and satisfied. She gives to the physical relationship what is required for harmony and peace and she gives to the Platonic relationship that inner spiritual sharing that she craves on a more deeper level. Here she has satisfied both of the men in her life.

I share things and am well received within my own social circles. It is a time where I gain support and encouragement from others in society.

Physical events resolve themselves in a manner that is favorable to me and I gain recognition and power from other members of society. This is a gradual process in which I am harmonizing my spiritual aspirations with others of like mind and gaining support. I receive support and encouragement from my soulmate in these efforts.

She believes deeply in the things that I am trying to share with others and encourages me as much as she can. She has found meaning in her life by actively supporting my spiritual goals and aspirations. These fulfill that part of her life that had been missing. Now her physical relationship becomes much more tolerable and she is able to enjoy that also. She has the best of both worlds.

THE HANGED MAN

Symbol-Male is suspended upside down from a tree.

Meaning-This is an uneasy period in the physical relationship because things are not satisfactory. More and more energy is spent in like seeking like and her Platonic contact with me increases in strength and intensity. She remains trapped in the physical relationship and inner tensions increase.

It’s Element is Air. It’s power is Air of Air. It controls the Sepiroth NETZACH and the planet VENUS.

This is perhaps my least favorite stage in the cycle. There is a separation from physical reality and nothing is happening at all in physical life. It is a time of physical waiting for the energies to build up and gain strength. There is a major change taking place physically in my life and I am really anxious for it to happen but it is some time away and nothing I can do will speed it up. All that I can do is wait. I fill this waiting period with an increasing dialogue with my soulmate. We both enjoy our social conversations and the perspectives that we both share on things.

She is really experiencing difficulties in her physical relationship with her collective soulmate and enjoys these social diversions that are spiritual and Platonic.

It’s element is Air. It’s powers are Fire of Air, Air of Air, Water of Air and Earth of Air.

In the Tarot Trumps DEATH leads from NETZACH to TIPHERETH.

This is both a time of deep loss and tremendous gain. There is a deep physical or material loss of some type. In one cycle I lost my job. It was a job that I hated and I didn’t really miss it. During the same time I gained access to social circles that were very harmonious to me. I was introduced to people that had things in common with me. In this sense it was a time of physical gain as a greatly improved social atmosphere.

It is also at this time that I meet my soulmate at one of these social activities and we are immediately attracted to each other.

She wishes to find a common interest and activity to share. She feels increasingly trapped in the co-dependent role with her physical partner. The strain of the old relationship becomes intolerable because of its rigidity. She tries new social activities where she meets new and exciting people. She is drawn toward a platonic relationship with me as someone she can talk with.

THE DEVIL

Symbol-Female circus performer as a strong man lifting

a male that is dressed as a female.

Meaning-Here is physical sexual force given to polar opposites in its grossest fashion. This is a celebration and madness of the physical differences between the male and female and the rightness of joining. It is the madness of spring and the creative joining. It is also a karmic entrapment of the basest kind where each person is completely co-dependent upon his or her physical partner for completion.

THE DEVIL is related to many other cards of the Tarot. It is related to the King of Swords, Queen of Swords, Prince of Swords, Princess of Swords, Four of Cups, Four of Locks, Five of Keys, Five of Swords, Five of Cups and Five of Locks.

It’s Element is Air. It’s powers are Fire of Air, Air of Air, Water of Air and Earth of Air.

In the Tarot Trumps THE DEVIL leads from HOD to TIPHERETH.

This opened up deeper levels of astral activity that were etheric in nature. It seems as if each time a deep layer of the etheric is achieved something negative happens physically as a consequence. During one cycle I received an injury at the work place. The action of accessing deeper levels at first causes negative physical events to happen by releasing them. We enter these new levels and can’t control them. They do as they will and recoil against any weakness that they find.

Even as I am exploring deeper levels of the astral and trying to master them my soulmate is enmeshing herself in a sexual relationship with her collective soulmate. I still have never met her and do not know who she is.

TEMPERANCE

Symbol-Male and female sitting at table in good conversation.

Meaning-Here the physical male and female together form a type of comfortable, co-dependent unity and stability in their physical relationship. Each takes upon themselves that which is lacking in the other and fulfills that part of themselves by the personal growth required. Through effort they grow and become people that they were not before. They gain an awareness of self in these new and powerful roles that they play. Roles that are complementary to each other.

TEMPERANCE is related to many other cards of the Tarot. It is related to the Princess of Swords, Five of Swords and Five of Locks.

It’s element is Air. It’s power is Air of Earth. It controls the Sepiroth HOD and the planet MERCURY.

In the Tarot Trumps TEMPERANCE leads from YESOD to TIPHERETH.

This is a time of social activity. In various cycles I found this social activity within support groups and through the internet. It was for me a good time of sharing and having fun with others. It is notable that this is a type of collective social activities and not centered around one individual. This activity does later lead to my actually meeting my soulmate for the cycle.

She is enjoying her personal relationship with her collective soulmate and a stable and deep relationship is formed that is social in nature.
