Hi lovelies, was thinking about other things that would be interesting to share and explore, and I immediately thought of birth cards. Essentially, everyone has their own pair of birth cards within the Tarot's Major Arcana, and they are found through numerological calculations. Our birth cards tell us what our deepest, defining traits are as individuals, our strengths and challenges, and what life lessons we will encounter and learn from within our life spans... To find your birth cards through numerology: Read Biddy Tarot's article here so you can calculate your birth cards yourself! Or, if you're not into hand calculations: Take the simple short way and just use this calculator by Tarot School to figure it out. My birth cards are the Chariot and the Tower--signifying great energy and a strong, steadfast character that has astonishing resilience.  In terms of life lessons, the way for me to succeed would call for great deliberation and balance on my part, and I should be able to know when to use internal and external energy when needed. Pretty cool! Please find the Tarot School's book of birth cards here for more descriptions of each birth card pairing. So what are everyone's pairs?  |

I have the Tower and the Chariot too! "You’ve never known how to not challenge the status quo, have you? You shake things up and tear down what gets in your way." Whoopsies.  |

Hello, fellow charioteer! Hahaha! LOL, "shake things up and tear down what gets in your way" sounds very Tower-ish. We're something to reckon with!  |

Hmmmm according to the website, it gave me three cards Sun/Wheel/magician Oh wow--super interesting!  I'm guessing because all of them have to do with tens--what a cyclical combination! Also, I think this is the only three-card pair among all of the pairs--amazing! |

My birth card is III - The Empress. As a result, my secondary birth cards are XII - The Hanged Man & XXI - The World. =]
Though, Tarot School just gave me III - The Empress & XXI - The World.

Ooh, interesting--I haven't heard of primary or secondary birth cards! Definitely need to look into this! According to Mary K. Greer in her book Tarot for Yourself, III - The Empress would be my Personality & Soul Card Number, while my Shadow/Hidden Factor/Teacher cards would be XII - The Hanged Man and XXI - The World. |

Amazing--I'll definitely have to look into her book to learn more about birth cards! I'm guessing that there are different numerological calculations that can be made to find out which cards belong to you. Very interesting! Eeviee, how did you find Mary Greer's book? Her approach sounds incredibly fascinating (also shows how much I need to learn, lol!). Ahh. Also, wondering if you have any books to recommend to me with regards to birth cards and reading for yourself? Many thanks for the Mary Greer book rec! |

Many thanks for the Mary Greer book rec! is highly recommended among the tarot community, I'm sure you'll be able to get a lot more out of it than just the birth card calculations! I know I've ran into a few books that talk about calculating your birth cards, but just this one pops out to me at the moment. I'll keep an eye out and keep you in mind when I run across another. Enjoy! |
