Karmic tails in the Destiny Matrix: named programs and how to read them
How to read any karmic tail, the most common programs and what to do with them
The karmic tail is the three energies at the bottom of the Destiny Matrix that describe the lesson you came into this life with. Some combinations occur very often and have their own names. In this article — how to read any tail, the most common named programs and what to do if your tail isn’t on the lists.
How the karmic tail is built
The tail is three points on the line from the bottom corner of the matrix to the center:
- The bottom point — past experience, the root of the program.
- The middle point — how the program shows up now.
- The top point (closer to the center) — the task for this life, the quality worth developing.
The tail is written as a code of three numbers, for example 12-19-7: the first is the task, the second the manifestation, the third the root.
Named karmic programs
Some tails repeat in thousands of people and describe a recognisable scenario — so they have names. A few examples of how they are read:
- “Warrior” (12-19-7) — courage and the strength to see things through to victory; in the minus — life “in battle”, aggression and burnout. The lesson is to turn the fight into service and allow yourself to win without war.
- “Atheist” (18-10-10) — looking for a logical explanation of everything and denying intuition and the spiritual. The lesson is to trust intuition alongside logic.
- “Magical abilities” (18-11-11) — strong intuition and influence on people; in the minus — fears, illusions and exhaustion. The lesson is to use the gift ethically: help, create, work with fears.
- “Family secret” (5-5-18) — the family has secrets that affect its descendants. The lesson is to learn the family’s history, let go of other people’s fears and take a resource from tradition.
On CODE, the tail reading shows the program’s name if it has one, and a full description: how it shows in the plus and minus, the chain of cause and effect, questions for yourself and the resource after working it through. Where schools name a program differently, both names are shown.
How to tell that the tail program is active
- The same scenarios with different people.
- A disproportionately strong reaction to a small thing.
- A feeling of “I’ve lived this before”.
- A fear with no explanation in this life.
- Repetition in years when the energy of the year matches the energy of the tail. More on this — in the article on the program of the year.
How to work through the tail
- Put the scenario into words — 2–3 concrete situations.
- Find the point of choice — the moment you act “on autopilot”.
- Develop the quality of the top point — it is the medicine for the program.
- Answer the questions for yourself in writing — they are in the reading.
- Check your decisions — when it seems to be “the tail again”, ask a question in the Tarot reader.

Frequently asked questions
Can the tail be “closed” for good?
The tail energies stay with you, but after working through them they sound in the plus — instead of repetitions, wisdom appears in the same theme.
My tail has a “scary” name. What should I do?
The name describes the scenario in the minus. Read the same program in the plus — that is who you become after the lesson.
Do partners have the same tails?
No, but the compatibility matrix has a karmic program of the union — the lesson the couple goes through together.
Summary
The karmic tail is not a punishment but a map of the lesson. Calculate your matrix, find the three energies of your tail, read them in the minus and in the plus — and start with one small action towards the top point.
