Your tarot birth cards

Your date of birth resolves, numerologically, to cards from the major arcana. The personality card describes how you move through the world; the soul card names the lesson your life keeps returning to. Enter your date to meet them.

How the calculation works

The method comes from the birth card tradition popularised by tarot scholars: the numbers of your birth date are added together as month, day, and the year in two pairs. If the total is higher than 22, its digits are added again until it lands on a major arcana number.

That number is your personality card. Reducing it once more to a single digit gives your soul card. If your number is already a single digit, one card carries both roles, a sign of unusual focus. A total of 22 belongs to the Fool, the unnumbered card of the deck.

Example: 26 November 1993 becomes 11 + 26 + 19 + 93 = 149. Then 1 + 4 + 9 = 14, Temperance, the personality card. And 1 + 4 = 5, the Hierophant, the soul card.
