Tarot birth card

Your tarot birth card

Enter your date of birth. Add up its digits and you get the Major Arcana card that stays with you for life.

The 22 birth cards

How your birth card is calculated

Add up every digit of your date of birth, one by one: day, month and year. If the total is over 22, add its digits again until you get 22 or less. That number is your birth card, and 22 is The Fool.

Example: for August 15, 1990, you add 1 + 5 + 8 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 0 = 33, then 3 + 3 = 6, which is The Lovers.

If you get 10 or more, adding its digits once more gives you your soul card, a second card about what drives you inside. Your year card is worked out the same way, using the year you want to look at instead of your birth year.

Frequently asked questions

What is a tarot birth card?

It is the Major Arcana card that comes from your date of birth. Read it as a portrait of your character and of what you are here to learn, not as a prediction.

What is the difference between a birth card and a soul card?

Your birth card describes how you are and how others see you. Your soul card, which only exists when your birth card is 10 or higher, speaks about your deeper wishes. If your birth card is under 10, both are the same card.

What is a year card?

It is the card that sets the tone for one particular year. It uses your birth day and month plus the year you want to look at, and it changes on every birthday.

Is my date of birth saved?

No. The calculation happens in your browser and your date is never sent or stored anywhere.
