Tarot birth cards reveal the deeper part of the self: your personality, weaknesses, strengths, potential, identity, and themes that you might come across within this lifetime. 

Birth cards can be identified with the numbers found on your birthdate. With some basic math and a little magick, you will discover the card that truly represents you. 

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. 

Interpret Your Cards

The cards don’t mean anything until you put your intuition to work. A few ways to interpret your birth card is by meditating with it, writing down what you feel about the symbols, and looking up the meanings of the cards.

• What is this card trying to teach me?
• What are the symbols that I am drawn to?
• What are the things that I should focus on doing in this life?
• How can I open the paths to the opportunities shown on the card?

Optionally, you can bring the card in your wallet or place it in an accessible area (such as your altar) to be familiar with the energy it radiates.
