What happened in a past life
In a past life you were highly susceptible to other people's influence, in relationships or in business, and someone used you for their own gain.
Another book says that in a past incarnation you held unique knowledge in science, healing, spiritual practice or magic. You may have been a hermit or lived in a monastery. You did not pass that knowledge on to people, and this became a karmic debt.
The arcana of the 9-18-9 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 9 in the Destiny Matrix, The Hermit: innate wisdom, self-sufficiency, the power of solitude and a gift for healing with words.
Arcana 18 in the Destiny Matrix: The Moon
In the middle: how the lesson shows in events
Arcana 18 in the Destiny Matrix, The Moon: magic, intuition, prophetic dreams and the strongest gift for manifesting thoughts; in its minus, fear and illusion.
Arcana 9 in the Destiny Matrix: The Hermit
Point D: the karmic task itself
Arcana 9 in the Destiny Matrix, The Hermit: innate wisdom, self-sufficiency, the power of solitude and a gift for healing with words.

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 9. The first number is D + the centre of the chart, here 9; the second is D + the first number, here 18. That gives the code 9-18-9.
