Here is a great exercise to develop your awareness of the Tarot.
Calculate your Soul, Personality and Year cards.
Your soul card indicates those lessons your Soul has learnt and is to learn during all of it's lifetimes.
Your personality card reveals that about you within this (current) lifetime.
Your year card reveals that which you are to learn/develop this (current) year.
To calculate these cards:-
Personality card=
Add day of birth + month + year.
eg 1st January 1976 would be
1+1+1976 = 1978
then 1+9+7+8 = 25 (if this number is less then 22 that is your card)
then 2+5 = 7
7 would be your Personality and Soul cards.
If your Personality card equals a number from 10 to 22 you then add those two numbers together to reach your soul card.
You year card is calculated exactly the same way as your personality card except you replace your year of birth with the current year.
Your soul card is carried with you throughout all your lifetimes.
My personality and soul card is Adjustment using the Thoth deck. I am an analytical thinker. I am actually an inventory analyst by profession. I am very organized, especially at work. I try to be fair all the time.
My year card is the Hermit. Basically, I have been rather to myself this past year. I have spent a lot of time exploring my spirituality. I have a lot of the Hermits qualities in me all my life. Sometimes I just need to be alone. I have always been like this.

Hello,
I have gotten 8 for my birthdate, and 5 for this year. Does this mean that I am all 8s or just in the Majors? And for this year, all 5s or just The Hierophant? Thanks..:T3S karen

Oh! I've been looking for an excuse to dive into my Thoth deck. Thank you MystiqueMoonlight. :)
Personality Card: 21 - The Universe
In most other decks this card is The World, which is a pretty daunting personality card. But the Universe, my goodness! And the description in the Book if Thoth is even more confusing. You know, I've always concentrated on learning about my soul card. I think I should work with this card now.
Soul Card: 3 - The Empress
I think I do have a mothering soul, and, like the pelican, I give of myself even when it hurts.
Year Card: 11 - Lust
Oh my. Justice or Lust, which better describes this year? It has been a mixture of both so far, I think. Perhaps, when I look back on this year, I will be able to decide which card is better suited to 11, based on my experiences.

Lust is actually equivalent to the Strength card not Justice

Yep, but in the RWS system 11 would be Justice. Since most of my decks are RWS based, I was seeing this as a Justice year. But maybe it is a Lust year, if I use the Thoth system.

Thank You, Mystique..However, of course I did not read the title of this forum, Thoth Tarot. I looked at my fav deck, Sacred Rose Tarot. May I ask, please, what are the titiles of the cards in the Toth Tarot for 8 and 5. My deck, Justice and Hierophant, both of which I find interesting for me. Thanks again. :T3S Karen
Hi tallarino,
In the Thoth tarot card 8 is called Adjustment and card 5 is still The Hierophant. :)

My Soul/Personality is Heirophant. (LOVE the Thoth Heirophant) But, what's odd about me- In 2016, I'll be entering a new growth cycle. What's odd is: that year, my soul growth symbols and my regular growth symbols match... Chariot growth is Chariot soul, ect. Is that rare, or does it mean the lessons will be doubly (is that a word?) reinforced? Looking forward to that Lovers year!
Now, I could be wrong, but doesn't every year have two growth symbols? One that is the current year+our birthday, and a soul symbol that starts with the Fool when we're born and goes numerically down the cards? And don't the Minor Arcana have significance too? They are gifts or challenges, right? Like the Heirophant, or 5, had the challenges of the 5 cards? (strife, worry, defeat, and disappointment?) I got that from The Tarot Handbook by Angeles Arrien...

Isn't that familiar? My soul and personality card is the Adjustment as well, and sometimes it frustrates people to no end when it takes me forever to come out with a decent judgement between people because I have to take each person aside, get their version of it, then talk to any witnesses, maybe run a few tests myself to test out what could have really happened, and -then- come up with judgement. But at least they know they'll get a fair judgement from me. :D

mine come out to:
1 - The Magus
10 - Fortune
19 - The Sun
"This is an especially creative path in which all three cards operate as BOTH Personality and Soul Cards. People with this sequence must learn to communicate their individual creative expressions. Their personal identity and sense of self will be inextricably combined with their life and soul purpose. Their ability to relate to others will depend on a harmony of vision and purpose with them."

my personality and soul cards are the Lovers (VI) and my year card is the Hermit (IX). Makes sense as the majority of 2003 has been secluding myself away at my grama's house after graduating with MFA in photography, then since getting a job with a deaf school, i've been cloistering myself away in my own dorm apartment without having much of a social life which is a pain in the butt! but the important thing is that i'm learning about myself away from my fiance as I'm living by myself in my own apartment while he's living in his own.

Hi all, I am new here.
Good to be here...
:)
My Soul card is Magus (1).
Very much me indeed.
Personality card is Fortune (10).
I must say it is quite right.
Year: The Empress (3).
This year has been quite as this card implies.
I am still amazed how precise cards can be...
