In tarot, the Major Arcana tell the story of life itself — from the Fool’s first step to the World’s completion. But did you know that one (or more) of these cards is directly connected to you, based on your birthday?

These are called your Soul Card, Personality Card, and Destiny Card. Together, they form a kind of personal blueprint — showing your life lessons, inner gifts, and the spiritual themes that shape your journey.

How to Calculate Your Cards

It all begins with your birth date.

1. Add up all the digits of your birth date.
   • Example: 14/07/1986 → 1 + 4 + 0 + 7 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 6 = 36.
2. Reduce that number until it falls at 22 or below. That’s your Destiny Card.
   • In the example, 36 → 3 + 6 = 9 → The Hermit.
3. If you arrive at a two-digit number between 10 and 22, that card is considered your Soul Card. Then reduce it again to a single digit for your Personality Card.
   • Example: If the total was 19, your Soul Card would be The Sun, and your Personality Card would be The Magician (1).
4. If your total is 22, it’s treated as The Fool (0/22).

What the Cards Mean

• Destiny Card → The overarching theme of your life, like your tarot zodiac sign. It reflects your soul’s larger path.
• Soul Card → The inner, spiritual energy you carry — what drives you from within.
• Personality Card → The outer way your energy shows up in the world, how others see you.

Sometimes, your Destiny and Soul cards are the same. In that case, your energy is especially focused and direct.

How to Use Them

Working with these cards can be a powerful self-discovery practice. You can:

• Meditate on your card’s imagery and message to deepen your understanding of yourself.
• Keep your card nearby (on your altar, in your journal, or as a wallpaper) as a daily reminder of your path.
• Look for your card when it appears in readings — it may signal moments where you are called to step fully into your soul’s purpose.
• Explore how your Destiny, Soul, and Personality cards interact with one another — do they reinforce each other, balance each other, or bring contrast?

These cards aren’t about fate carved in stone. They’re mirrors of the lessons you’ll encounter and the gifts you already carry.
