You’ve heard about astrology and star signs, but did you know that Tarot cards can also reveal key secrets about your life based on your date of birth? Tarot Birth Cards gives you insights into your innermost desires and the path you are meant to follow in this lifetime.
By discovering your Tarot Birth Cards’ meaning you can learn what your destiny is in this lifetime as well as your soul’s true purpose, which stretches through multiple lifetimes. Birthday Tarot cards are based on the journey of the Fool and they reveal which part of this journey your soul is experiencing in your current incarnation. Understanding your birthday Tarot cards can help you understand and work with your key characteristics and personality traits.
There are a few ways to go about calculating your birth cards, each with their own special meanings, so for the best understanding of yourself and your spiritual path you can try all of these:
For this method, each number in your birthday is counted as a single digit. For example, 19 April 1987 will be counted as 1+9+0+4+1+9+8+7=39. All numbers above 21 are reduced again, in this case, 3+9=12. So for this example the core purpose is revealed by XII – The Hanged Man. For this Tarot Birth Card Calculation the upright meaning of the card reveals the core purpose of the individual.
Your personality card reveals your personality traits and what you are here to learn in this lifetime. Your soul card reveals your soul’s purpose through multiple lifetimes.
To calculate your personality birthday card add the day, month and year of your birthday together to get a four-digit number. For example 19 April 1987 will be 19+04+1987= 2010. Once you have the four-digit number, add each digit, in this case, 2+0+1+0=3. So for this example, the personality is expressed by III – The Empress.
If the four-digit number adds up to more than 21, add the digits together again, for example, 2 March 1981 would come to (02+03+1981= 1986 = 1+9+8+6 =) 24, which is then reduced to (2+4=) 6, for a personality of VI – The Lovers.
If your Personality card is a single-digit number like in the examples above, your Personality card is also your Soul card. But, if your Personality card’s number is two digits, for example, 12 (as is the case if you were born on 21 July 1991), then your Soul card is calculated by adding the two digits together. In this case, 1+2=3. So if you were born on 21 July 1991 your Personality card is XII – The Hanged Man and your Soul card is III – The Empress.
With this method of calculating your Tarot Birth Cards, you will reveal the path you are on in this life and which of your strengths you should use to fulfill your journey.
To calculate these birthday Tarot cards split your birthday into four 2-digit numbers. For example, if you were born on 19 April 1987 the numbers would be 19+04+19+87=129. Then add the first 2-digit number to the second 1-digit number. In this case 12+9=21. In this example, the first Birth card, which reveals the Path, is XXI – The World.
To calculate the second card, the Strengths, add the two digits of the first card together. In this case, 2+1=3 which is, III – The Empress.
If your first calculation adds up to a double-digit, add the two numbers together. For example if you were born on 10 May 2001, 10+05+20+01 = 36. Then add 3+6=9. The Path you are on is then revealed by IX – The Hermit. To find your second birth card, the Strengths card, if you have a single-digit Path card expand the number back to a number below 21. In this case 9=1+8, so the Strengths are revealed by XVIII – The Moon.
If this sounds too complicated you can use the tables below to get your Strength card once you’ve calculated your Path card:
Note: There is one exception in the table above. If you’re like me and your first calculation adds up to 19, so your Path card is XIX – The Sun, then you will have 2 strength cards, X – The Wheel of Fortune and I – The Magician.
The table above can also be used to determine your Soul Birth Card once you’ve calculated your Personality Birth Card.
Note: Single-digit Path cards are expanded to the simplest double-digit.
Once you know what your Tarot Birth Cards are you can learn their meaning. The best way to do this is to take the cards out of your Tarot deck and have a good look at them first. Are there any themes, colors or symbols that hold a specific meaning for you?
Once you’ve done a personal interpretation you can have a look at the traditional meaning of each Tarot Birth Card.
The meaning of this Tarot Birth Card is pretty straight forward. The traditional, upright meaning of the card will give you your core purpose.
Once you have calculated these Tarot Birth Cards you can also consult the traditional, upright meanings of each card. Remember, your Personality Birth Card relates to the personality strengths and weaknesses you have in this lifetime, while the Soul Birth Card represents your soul’s purpose through multiple lifetimes.
For example if you were born on 21 July 1991 with XII – The Hanged Man as your Personality Birth Card and III – The Empress as your Soul Birth Card the following meaning will apply to you:
“change, reversal, wisdom, improvement, rebirth, sacrifice, intuition, prophecy”
You are here to make great changes to the world in this lifetime. You are wise and use your intuition to determine what will happen. You want the best for the world and you aren’t afraid to make personal sacrifices for the greater good.
“development, initiative, accomplishment, moved, evolution, venturing into the unknown”
Your soul has a mission to bring about new things in the world through development and evolution. This matches your personality in this incarnation and you can use your intuition and wisdom to fulfill your soul purpose.
When interpreting these Tarot Birth Cards note how the Personality Birth Card defines how you can reach your soul’s directive in this lifetime.
To interpret these use the same method as for interpreting Personality and Soul Cards. But for this interpretation, the meaning is slightly different.
Your Path Birth Card shows what path you are currently on, while your Strength Birth Card shows what you must focus on in order to reach your best destination.
