I'm 20 - Judgement.

A card, incidentally, I always feel worried about when I see it in a reading...

**jcwirish** · 20-01-2010

Tomorrow I am reading everyone's posts on the Lovers. I don't know why, but this card still confuses me. I didn't expect that.

I think you're supposed to keep adding until you reach a single-digit number; which in your case would be 2 + 0 = 2; the High Priestess.

Better?

But if you keep adding, you would never be able to get most of the Majors. That doesn't seem right somehow, but I know nothing of these things, so...

Neither do I really - it's just what I (vaguely) remember from the first couple of Tarot books I've read.

I *think* you're only supposed to get the first couple of majors - something to do with the various cycles in the majors.
That way, nobody ends up with, say, Death as their soul card.

Or you could just keep adding until you're happy - nobody's going to give you a fine if you do it 'wrong'!

***Wendywu*** · 21-01-2010

You add until you reach a number that gives you a major - otherwise no-one would ever have majors above 9 as their card .....

Leastways, that's what Mary Greer says in her book

(ETA I think it's in Reading for Yourself)

If I had Death as my soul card I think my life lesson might be in coping with changes and transitions?

I have the Chariot as my soul card but IIRC I get the Tower as my birth card - now that did worry me!

Hang on, what's the difference between a soul card and a birth card?

(I'm wondering if there is a more appropriate thread already around for this? We've been going rather off topic)

***Wendywu*** · 21-01-2010

I'll dig out the book in the morning

And post somewhere because you're right, we're horribly off topic.....

Sinduction · 21-01-2010

Um.... someone forgot (again) to remind me to post!

How can you let me get away with this???

***Wendywu*** · 25-01-2010

Yay - I got my study posted on The Road (Chariot).

I got such a lot from this study. I was always a bit iffy about this card before but now - it's a wonderful card. It has soooo much meaning - I was blind!

I'm babbling, but I'm so pleased. And really looking forward to all the other cards
