To know your birth card, simply add each number on your birthdate and use the sum to locate your card in the major arcana.

For instance, if your birthday is August 5, 1964, add 8 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 6 + 4 = 33. Since the sum is greater than 22 (the total number of cards in the major arcana), reduce the number by adding the sum’s digits: 3 +  3 = 6 – The Lovers. What you get will be your birth card.
