KARMIC CONSEQUENCES OF POWER, CONTROL, AND AUTHORITY

15-5-8 (Betrayal Within the Family)

• Main Fault (15 - The Devil): Abuse of power, greed, and premeditated deception within circles of complete trust.

• How to Resolve It (8 - Justice): By upholding impeccable integrity and respecting cosmic law.
• The Story: A figure of moral authority (5) succumbed to ambition and stabbed those who trusted him in the back (15). Karma demands that today he be a pillar of transparency, balance, and justice (8) in all his business dealings and relationships.

4/21/10 (Oppressor)

• Main Error (21 - The World): Having oppressed on a large scale, limiting the freedom of expansion for many people or for oneself.
• How It Manifested (4 - The Emperor): Exercising tyrannical authoritarianism, micromanaging the lives of others, and crushing their will.
• How to Resolve It (10 - The Wheel of Fortune): By trusting in the flow of life and letting go of control.
• The Story: An earthly ruler (4) closed the borders of his people’s souls (21). Now, he must learn to step down from the throne, relax, and trust that the universe has its own order without him having to direct everything (10).

8/15/11 (Aggression)

• Main Error (15 - The Devil): The moral disconnect that allows one to deliberately harm others through an out-of-control ego.

• How to Resolve It (8—Justice): By understanding the law of cause and effect and channeling energy toward protection.

12-16-4 (The Emperor)

• Main Error (16 - The Tower): The destruction of vital structures due to arrogance or utter irresponsibility.
