Hello Forum Members, Question: I recall visiting a web site that would identify a major arcana card associated with a given individual based upon their date of birth. On the web site, there was a place to input the DOB and the corresponding card would be revealed. Can anyone provide me with the link to this web site; or, in the alternative, the mathematical formula used to arrive at this association? Thanking you in advance for your assistance, Jason Kays

Hum, there are several threads but I cannot think where just now. The one card you add up your DOB Born September 16, 1950 9 + 14 +1950 = 1973. Then you add up the individual numbers of 1973 and get 20, so that would be Judgement. Then your current year would be 9 + 14+ 2003 = 2026 reduces to 10 The Wheel of Fortune. So you would be having a Wheel of Fortune year but your card is Judgement. Mary Greer wrote it in detail in one of her books.

Hi Marion, Hey, thank you! I'm a newbie to Tarot, so am not sure how the deck's cards correspond to numbers. Can you please assist? My number is 24. Which card would that correspond to, Marion? Thank you!

Marion	28 Sep 2003
There is no card 24. You would have to add them together again and get 6, The Lovers.

Hello Marion, My financee ("Marion," as well) and I have the same Tarot soul card, "The Lovers." Not sure if that's good or bad, but picked up three books on Tarot yesterday, so will do some research. Thank you for your assistance. Regards, Jason Kays

JM, I think the site you're talking about is www.queenofpentacles.com I hope that's helpful ;)

There is another method. :) To use the example Marion gave: 16 Sep 1950 1+6+9+1+9+5+0= 31 3+1=4 The Emperor. You can find this information on my website too. ;)

i just realised that my card would be the high priestess no matter which of the above-mentioned methods i use. 11th April 1986 1+1+4+1+9+8+6=30= high priestess 11+4+1986=2001= high priestess again! Perhaps i need to pay more attention to the meanings of this card...

You can also find this information in "Tarot for Your Self" (2nd Edition) by Mary K Greer

There's another system in Tarot in Ten Minutes by R.T. Kaser. :smoker:

ah sorry about that... for some reason i always get the positions of the empress and highpriestess mixed up :\

Doo, doo-doo doo-doo doo dooooooo!!! Ahem. Sorry, but that was me, tooting my own horn. I have a page on my website that has a Tarot Card Profile Calculator for figuring Personality, Soul, and Year Cards, as well as some tables referring to the Tarot Constellations from Mary Greer's books. I hope this helps! Peace, Melvis :TSTRE

Using the formula, my card is the Hierophant, but I am having a Hermit year. This doesn't surprise me, because I have always identified with the Hermit anyway...I value solitude.

Hi folkes, I love how these things tie together .. and I know it will become more exciting as we understand these connections. The more we understand, the more there is to understand ... My birthdate is 10 December 1951 .. so it looks like my soul card ... 10 + 12 + 1951 = 1973 is 1+9+7+3 = 20 is Judgement ... and the other method for my soul card shows the same ... 1+0 + 1+2 + 1+9+5+1 = 20 is judgement .. but doesn't 20 reduce down to 2, which is the High Priestess in both cases? Then my current card for this year is .... 10 + 12 + 2003 = 2025 is 2+0+2+5 = 10 is The Hermit ... and the other method for my year card shows the same ... 1+0 + 1+2 + 2+0+0+3 = 10 is The Hermit .. but 10 can further reduce down to 1, the Magician in both cases? Could someone(s) enlighten me on this? Sam

My personality card is VIII-Strength (11 + 27+1977 = 2015 = 8) My soul card is VIII - Strength My current card for this year is...(11+27+ 2004 = 2042 = 8)...you guessed it! VIII-Strength again! Of course, all this really doesn't mean much to me...does it mean that this year will require alot of inner strength and fortitude from me?
