What happened in a past life
In a past life you harmed your own family and hurt those close to you. You betrayed and cheated, gave in to temptation and passion: addictions, theft, gambling.
You broke the law and escaped reality through addiction. You used what you knew about other people's weaknesses against them.
The arcana of the 15-5-8 tail
The tail is read from the centre of the chart to its edge. Each of the three numbers is an arcana with its own meaning.
Arcana 15 in the Destiny Matrix: The Devil
Closest to the centre: how the lesson shows in character
Arcana 15 in the Destiny Matrix is The Devil, the energy of temptation: the shadow side, seeing through people, charisma, big money and choosing the light.
Arcana 5 in the Destiny Matrix: The Hierophant
In the middle: how the lesson shows in events
Arcana 5 in the Destiny Matrix, The Hierophant: teacher and student, law, order and tradition, gathering knowledge and passing it on to others.
Arcana 8 in the Destiny Matrix: Justice
Point D: the karmic task itself
Arcana 8 in the Destiny Matrix, Justice: the law of cause and effect, karmic scales, responsibility, honesty and balance.
Where to start
- Forgive those who hurt you and let go of the wish for revenge. Do not carry your parents' negative experience into your own life.
How this tail shows in your own chart
The full reading reads the tail with your whole chart: how it shows in money and relationships, its minus, all the advice for working through it and the family programs next to it.
How this code comes about
The third number is point D (the sum of the day, month and year of birth), here 8. The first number is D + the centre of the chart, here 15; the second is D + the first number, here 5. That gives the code 15-5-8.
