Tarot Birth Cards & Year Card
Discover the Major Arcana that rule your personality, your soul and your year — calculated from your date of birth.
How it's calculated
We add your birth month and day to the sum of the digits of your birth year. If the total is above 22, we add its digits again until it lands between 1 and 22 — the number of a Major Arcanum (22 is The Fool).
That is your Personality Card. If it has two digits, we add its digits once more to find your Soul Card.
The Year Card uses the same sum, replacing your birth year with the year of your most recent birthday. It runs from one birthday to the next.
Example: 06/11/1965 → 6 + 11 + (1+9+6+5 = 21) = 38 → 3+8 = 11, Justice. Soul: 1+1 = 2, The High Priestess.
This is Mary K. Greer's technique, a world reference in tarot studies. Other schools add the numbers differently and may reach different cards.
