What happened in a past life
In a past life you were a spiritual priest, a sage. You grew spiritually and gathered knowledge but did not pass it on: you ran out of time, did not want to, died young, or were forbidden to share it.
You may have had great influence on the spiritual world or on ideology, as a creator or a destroyer, a soldier, a reformer or a revolutionary. You may have renounced the world after a betrayal. This combination can also point to taking part in building occult structures and temples.
The arcana of the 21-10-16 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 21 in the Destiny Matrix: The World
Closest to the centre: how the lesson shows in character
Arcana 21 in the Destiny Matrix, The World: peacemaking, global thinking, going beyond limits, foreign countries, languages and travel.
Arcana 10 in the Destiny Matrix: Wheel of Fortune
In the middle: how the lesson shows in events
Arcana 10 in the Destiny Matrix, the Wheel of Fortune: inborn luck, life in the flow, a guardian angel's help and cycles of ups and downs.
Arcana 16 in the Destiny Matrix: The Tower
Point D: the karmic task itself
Arcana 16 in the Destiny Matrix is The Tower, the energy of spiritual awakening: the collapse of the old, crises, change and building something new.
Where to start

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 16. The first number is D + the centre of the chart, here 21; the second is D + the first number, here 10. That gives the code 21-10-16.
