Karmically = ?

Anyone can help explain what karmically is ?
I've looked up on several online dictionaries but it was just in vain.

Thanks a lot.

Hi, My Concise Oxford Dictionary has 'karmic' as an adjective from the noun 'karma', which I'm sure is in your dictionary. So, I guess this is just an adverb that someone has created from the adjective. I'm not sure how you would use such an adverb.

2. A move into Sales & Marketing would be karmically disastrous.
