Hey so I've been (watching Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) wondering something.
Apparently, if you do a simple equation with your birth date, you get something that is called your Birth Tarot Card.
I don't believe in any of this stuff, but it might be a little interesting regardless. I'm bored, so why not.
If you give me a long lecture on why this (obviously) isn't real, I'll personally find the nearest cliff in the Canadian Prairies, and throw you off it.

877945


With that out of the way, essentially what you do is this.
Add your birth date (DD) + (MM) + (YY) + (YY)
*Make sure to split your "year" into two parts (for example 1998 = 19+98)
Once you get that number (and if it is 2 digits), add those digits together.
If it's 3 digits, combine the first two digits, and then add the third one.
For an example, I'll use mine

February 23, 1998
23 + 02 +19 + 98 = 142
14 + 2 = 16

Or if you are just lazy, go to this link and it'll do it for you.
Tarot Calculator

I'll leave a list of the tarot card combinations down below to make things easier, feel free to leave a description of yours if you can find one.
Just find the sum you end up with, and match it to the corresponding card below.

10 = Wheel of Fortune/ Magician
11 = Justice/ High Priestess
12 = Hanged Man/ Empress
13 = Death/ Emperor
14 = Temperance/ Hierophant
15 = Devil/ Lovers
16 = The Tower/ Chariot
17 = Star/ Strength
18 = Moon/ Hermit
19 = Sun/ Wheel/ Magician

Apparently there are some exceptions, so I'll add them to be safe.
20 = Judgement/ High Priestess
21= The World/ Empress

If you want a description of your card, I ventured through the weird side of the internet for them. You can thank me later.
Here is a link to a list of them.

So I'll just start with mine to give an example

The Tower/ The Chariot

877947


Description:

The Tower and The Chariot share the issues of balance, control, energy, solidity and war. They contrast in their ways of handling every issue. The violent overthrow of rigid and ambitious structure contrasts with the invisible battle for balance and self-control. External contrasts with internal energy. The vulnerability of fortification contrasts with the durability of character.

The Tower is the tumultuous power at the center of everything. It is the constant potential for an occasional experience of the unexpected, the violent and sudden disruption of normal conditions; the power of complete surprise and the feeling of head-over-heels. The job of The Tower is to uproot dug-in positions and vested interests, to be the event horizon beyond which lies the unpredictable and unaccountable. The Tower is the end of complacency.

The Chariot is the steady flow of ceaseless intention that is the warrior in everything. Its job is to harness all competing impulses and energies, to overcome all obstacles and resistances, and against all odds, carry everything to its destiny. On this journey, everything becomes what it must become and nothing is lacking.

Unintegrated and imperfectly realized, The Tower can be capricious, frightening and disastrous. It can rob effort of its proper reward, and destroy faith in both justice and mercy. It can be melodramatic, or it can be pointless, random and gratuitously painful.

The Chariot can vacillate and side-step, or turn tail and run. It can be vainglorious and posturing, or overly sensitive and ineffectual. It can lose heart in the middle of a task, and mope.

Together, they are afraid of nothing, can stand successfully against any opponent, either internal or external, and when the time comes, they will rise to the ultimate challenge and be equal to it.

Devil (15) & Lovers (6)
You are here to love – to give love, to receive love, to make love. You are guided by a deep love for the Universe but you also need to be careful that this love does not turn into desire or lust.
You are deeply passionate and can direct that passion for the greater good of society when you apply your highest morals and values to your decision-making. You dance the fine line between freedom and boundaries, and make the best decisions when you are acting from a place of inner truth and Universal love.

Huh. Interesting--thanks!

Judgement (20) & High Priestess (2)
With this Tarot Birth Card combination, you may feel at times as if you are not ‘of this world’. You lie somewhere between the spirit world and the earthly world, floating between the veil of consciousness throughout your lifetime. You may feel called to the Spirit world, communicating with those who have passed or being guided by your Spirit Guides. You are an intuitive being.

I find some of the imagery interesting--Judgement being fire and The High Priestess being the moon. Judgment being about Pluto (Hades) and of earth? and Priestess being moon and celestial? It's really interesting because I was contemplating Hades a lot and I had an experience with a vision like that, and because I have always been drawn to the moon. So I really found this interesting!



 

Imagery — Things to Look at and Contemplate:

  • Image
    Postures — standing, facing upward / seated, facing forward
    (Distant, incomplete, uncertain and in process vs. immediate, complete and confident in the moment.)

    Image
    Colors — gold, red and white, above grey and blue / blue, white and yellow, flanked by black and white
    (The clear, high and brilliant calling to unfolding, unformed, unclear potential vs. mystery embedded in mystery)

    Image
    Clothing — nude / robed (Natural vs. formal)

    Image
    Symbols —
    • Image
      coffins / pillars and veil
      (Awakening vs. initiation)

      Image
      white banner with red cross / scroll and cross
      (New awareness vs. ancient knowledge)

      Image
      trumpet / crown
      (Loud inner imperative vs. silent inner certainty)

  • Image
    Foreground — the angels and nudes / priestess
    (Complexity of beginning vs. simplicity of completion)


Astrology:

  • Image
    Fire (Judgement) — the natural, visible force of light and heat

    Image
    Moon (High Priestess) — the keeper of mysteries and secrets


Predilection:

  • Image
    Loud and Active vs. Quiet and Patient

    Image
    Raw and Direct vs. Subtle and Discreet

    Image
    Open to the new and experimental vs.
    A preference for the ancient & timeless

Judgement and The High Priestess share the energy of beginnings, the beginning of an awakening and the beginning of an initiation. And so they also share the finality of endings, since each marks an irrevocable boundary between levels of awareness. The Priestess guards the gate to the last secrets of self and world. Judgement is the door to the beginnings of the secret knowledge of self and world. On the far side of Judgement everything is sound asleep in the dream of the everyday. On the far side of The Priestess everything is wide awake at the end of the final journey.

Judgement listens to the sound of a call so loud that it cannot be ignored. It emerges from the ordinary, stripped of everything it previously held precious and identified with. It begins a brand new life in a world made new by a new awareness, awakened and motivated by a distant energy it hears and obeys but doesn't understand. It finds itself in a state of constant transformation fueled by a steady and unquenchable inner fire.

The High Priestess is mysterious, self-effacing and self-sufficient. Her silence is ancient and perfect. She says nothing and does nothing, but leaves nothing unsaid or undone. She is cool, serene and complete.

Unintegrated and imperfectly realized, Judgement can be deaf to the inner call and heedless of its potential, remaining steadfastly concerned with everyday matters and ordinary pursuits. Nevertheless, it can still be susceptible to visions, ghosts and all sorts of paranormal experiences, with a strong psychic talent and a readiness to believe stories of the super- and supra-natural.

The stubborn denial of Judgement can join forces with the Priestess' certainty that she knows everything. When this happens, they combine as foolish self-confidence alternating with a fear of the unknown, making personal growth a harrowing experience.

Together, they focus on the transcendent rather than on the commonplace. They combine high energy, and a capacity for radical change and impressive growth, with an intuitive awareness of the vastness of the mystery of things. They can be great explorers, willing to plunge into the fertile and frightening unknown and take their chances with it.


 

This interpretation is easier for me to understand--and also interesting as it talks about Pluto (Hades) and the moon--two sort of archetypes/things that I have been drawn to exploring lately or earlier. So very interesting! Idk if she has the descriptions of the other cards or how to navigate her site:


Judgment:

Astrological Sign: Pluto
Keywords: new perceptions, being reborn, renewed sense of purpose, coming to terms with your own actions, atonement, bringing together diverse partsof your personality, resisting change/transformation, running from one’s issues, feeling boxed in, lack of perspective, being overly critical.

The High Priestess:

Astrological Sign: The Moon
Keywords: inner wisdom, connection with intuition, women’s mysteries, seclusion, hidden information, dreamtime, anima (female part of personality), inability to connect with intuition, inability to access dreamtime, becoming either too social or too isolated, insincerity

The theme for this lifetime is the ability to observe, to the point of making good judgments in an objective manner. The ability to access one’s intuition, to communicate, and to accept new ideas.

We can choose to do personal work with our own Birth Cards, we can use Birth Cards in conjunction with a reading for a client (place their birth cards, drawn from a deck other than the one you are reading with, above the spread(s) laid out for them). The spread(s) are then read through the lens of perception of the Seeker’s Birth Cards. As added value, a reader could give their client scans of their Birth Cards, along with a short write-up about them. Readers can also use the Birth Card system to better understand other people in their own lives (family, co-workers, friends etc.).

The key to bringing balance to any lifetime is that of understanding how and where your Birth Cards are operating in your life. Judgment and the High Priestess represent the two aspects of the gateway into a 20/2 lifetime. Judgment is ruled by Pluto, placing the focus on personal will and determination, and on tearing down and rebuilding.The individual learns to make objective observations and then place this information to work in their life.

The High Priestess is ruled by the Moon, placing the focus on intuition and self-trust. She has balanced energies, with a strong connection to dreamtime, the unconscious, intuition and the feminine mysteries.

Judgment and the High Priestess set the tone for this lifetime. The path that the individual walks is one that addresses their ability to be objective in their observations about themselves, and the people and issues surrounding them. Judgment is all about releasing our limitations. How we think and act, about ourselves and others, sets the tone for a heaven or hell type of lifetime. Once we release thelimitations from our past, we experience a spiritual awakening.

The High Priestess is all about hidden wisdom, the feminine mysteries, dreamtime, and our intuitive selves. Because the High Priestess has the ability to work with her unconscious mind, she has a strong connection to her psychic, as well as her intuitive, ability. Her wisdom comes from expereince over many lifetimes. The High Priestess connects us with the realm of Spirit.

A 20/2 (Judgment/High Priestess) individual empowers themselves by releasing the past, and tuning in to dreamtime, and their own psychic/intuitive abilities.



 
Temperance (14) & Hierophant (5)

You are here to bring about balance – balance between freedom (Temperance) and structure (Hierophant). You acknowledge the importance of setting a framework to guide your thinking and your actions, but you also have a talent for flowing in and out of that framework, depending on the situation. You are flexible and adaptable, but also respectful of tradition and convention.

Your gift is to be able to share this balance with those around you, by taking conventional wisdom and showing others how to integrate it into their lives. You may be a teacher, a spiritual guide, a life coach or a mentor.

{Justice⚔ (11)➕🛡High Priest 🛡(2)}

Description:

You are a seeker of truth. You are talented at weighing up a situation and seeing it for what it truly is. You are not bound by rules 100% of the time – instead you have this innate ability to see through the veil and determine what is really going on. You are an intuitive decision-maker, guided by your gut feeling when dealing with challenging situations. You can easily ‘read’ a situation without having all of the information at hand. In actuality, strong and up righteous, “Justice and The High Priestess” expects and upholds the truth and utter perfection not only for itself, but for the sake of others as well. Unyielding of this attitude to others, indeed, for “Justice and The High Priestess” seeking out a worthy relationship requires this quality to remain of the utmost importance.


Together, they dream of the perfect, the ultimate, and pursue it in more than one kind of undertaking. They continuously seek the truth, and in its service they are drawn to esoteric studies and unusual paths.

At there best you’re...
  • Intelligence
  • Modest lady
  • Fair judgement
  • Exposing of said fraud
  • Settles things with justification
  • Intellectual judgment and selection
At worst you’re...
  • Selfish
  • Hysteria
  • Prejudice
  • Indifference
  • Nervousness
  • Unfair judgement
  • Often makes the wrong decisions

Imagery — Things to Look at and Contemplate:

Image
Postures — both seated and facing forward
(Their actions are in the form of observing thinking, and speaking.
Both are direct and straightforward.)

Image
Colors — red, green, purple, gold / blue, white, yellow
(Outward, passionate, involved vs. inward, calm, withdrawn)

Image
Clothing — both are robed and crowned.
(Both are formal, ceremonial, and imperious; public vs. impersonal)



Image
Symbols —

Image
thrones and crowns
(strong conviction of personal authority & correctness)

Image
pillars and veils
(guardians and initiators – gateways to the unknown and the hidden)

Image
sword and scales / scroll and cross
(sharp & demanding vs. deep & permissive)


Image
Foreground Figures — blond haired / dark haired (clear vs. obscure)



Astrology:

Image
Libra (Justice) — balance, the center, no excess, no exaggeration

Image
Moon (High Priestess) — cyclic, inclusive, nothing left out or rejected

The High Priestess corresponds to the Water element, relating to emotions and what we feel, while Justice corresponds to the Air element, related to thought and what we think.

The Air and Water energies are not incompatible but the conflicts suggested by these two major arcana cards may manifest as something very real today. Also, as the High Priestess is card number 2 in tarot and Justice is card number 11 that reduces to number 2 (1+1), there is an element of duality, polarity, choice and contradiction. Understand the need to remain clear headed today about what you need to do and do it. Staying on the side of truth will lead you to greater enlightenment and empowerment.



Predilection:

Image
Analytical vs. Contemplative

Image
Harsh vs. Gentle

Image
Loud vs. Silent


Justice and The High Priestess have in common that everything is accounted for. Justice examines everything for flaws in order to find its flawless essence. The High Priestess knows the secret of everything as it is in order to encompass everything.

Justice demands of everything its true nature and essence, with nothing concealed, withheld or distorted. It tirelessly weighs and measures, satisfied with nothing less than the clear, the absolute, and the irreduceable in everything.

Justice is adamant and uncompromising with its sword and scales, loud and clear in its redness, fearless and certain on its throne, guarding the entrance to the temple of the secrets of perfection.

The High Priestess finds what is the same in everything, the secret unifying core hidden in the endless variation of detail. She patiently discovers in all differences what is true, original and undisturbed in everything.

The High Priestess is accepting and inclusive with her scroll and cross, calm and quiet in her blueness, fearless and certain on her throne, guarding the entrance to the temple of final knowledge.

Unintegrated and imperfectly realized, Justice can be given to rage and haste; it can become arrogant and hypercritical, aggrieved and vengeful, or uncertain and vacillating.

The High Priestess can be a conceited know-it-all, moody and taciturn, secret and unapproachable; she can be despairing and lost, or given to excess and careless of consequences.
 
877962
877963


You have a natural talent and ability to see ‘through’ things. Your focus is not on what is directly in front of you, but what is going on behind the scenes. You are interested in the subconscious mind, the intuition, and all that is hidden and unseen. And you have a deep desire to uncover your spiritual path and do so through meditation, spiritual journeying, visualization and so on.

You may be a recluse and prefer to withdraw from the world around you so that you can focus your attention on your spiritual path and inner knowledge. You stand in the shadows so you can observe from afar, taking in all that is unseen.

Predilection:

  • Image
    The importance of night vs. The importance of day

    Image
    The importance of pain / pleasure; beauty / ugliness vs.
    The importance of wisdom/ignorance; persistence / giving up

    Image
    The world as mysterious and uncertain vs.
    The world as challenging and straightforward

The Moon and The Hermit share extreme qualities — low and high, vague and precise, yearning and ambitious, obscure and clear, far and near, many voices and one voice, fluid and solid.

For both, the journey's the thing. For both, the heights are the objective. For both, illumination is the essence, while darkness is the matrix. One faces the darkness of the untraveled path ahead, while the other faces the darkness of the heights beyond reach. The light available to each leaves their darkness intact.

The Moon is the uncertainty at the heart of things, the unrealized and phantom possibility, the power of mutation and transformation. Shape-shifting unconsciousness and identity offer multiple realities that reflect inner rather than outer landscapes. The job of The Moon is to evolve, to move forward by inhabiting ever more subtle and elaborate forms, to experience challenge, growth and renewal with each new version of itself.

The Hermit is the finished, final clarity that shines at the center of things, the distillation of knowledge gained through effort, persistence, intelligence, and courage. Perfect faith and endless labor are rewarded by being lit from within. He becomes a steady, continuous, living light, a beacon to those who seek the outermost boundaries of personal growth. For those on the upward journey, the way is lit by those who have gone before.

Unintegrated and imperfectly realized, The Moon can be filled with nameless terrors and subject to depression. It may not trust what it sees or what it hears, and it is prone to believing the worst. It can be gulled into believing fantastic claims and stories, and may be drawn onto false paths with little or no reward at their end. It is subject to nightmares, and may come to fear sleep.

The Hermit can be ambitious, and lose sight of or never see how perfectly he can serve a higher power, or how pure he can become himself. He can be immersed in detail, careful of every step on the way to serving his own interests. He may be so practical and down-to-earth, that mysterious and unlikely paths are rejected out of hand. He can become so absorbed in making his own way that he has little time or patience for anyone else, and thus becomes isolated and emotionally barren.

Together, they travel from the depths to the heights, exploring the shadows and precipices that wait for every traveller on the path to knowledge. They promise faithfully that the great journey of personal evolution can be completed, and they will show you the way.

877960


You are an eternal optimist and a master of manifestation. You see the good in all things and find positivity and fun in all aspects of your life. You have a talent for turning your situation around so that it truly works for you, no matter what the Universe has thrown your way.

You may be guided towards the Law of Attraction and the art of manifesting your dreams. And you are particularly successful in creating your desired future!

The Sun, The Wheel and The Magician share a concern with and expression of the importance of time and change. The Sun adds its roundness and constant periodicity to the circularity and endless revolutions of The Wheel. In this, they share the femininity of cycles and dependable repetition. The Sun adds the linear directness and the overwhelming power of its rays to the perfect focus and unbending intent of The Magician. In this, they share the masculinity of limitless energy and unwavering certainty.
Together, they coruscate — unpredictably glistening, flashing, darkening, reflecting and revealing, multiplying the unexpected and expanding the boundaries of the known and normal by a whole dimension.

10/1 : Wheel of Fortune/ Magician

The Magician and The Wheel of Fortune share the qualities of balance and universality. They both know there is value and power in everything, that anything can be made or can become important at any moment.
The Magician uses skill and intention to manipulate everything. The Wheel revels in every experience and accepts everything.
The Magician awakens and enlivens whatever he pays attention to. The Wheel is excited by whatever happens to it.
The Magician, human in form and scale, stands in one place and brings great things to pass with small gestures. The Wheel, galactic in size and shape, spins endlessly and experiences the smallest details of every unfolding drama.
The Magician makes things appear and disappear like rabbits out of a hat. With focused awareness and skill, he opens up possibilities and closes them. Graceful, eloquent and logical, he charms the willing and persuades the unwilling. Armed with unbending intent, he approaches obstacles with serene confidence and faith in his powers. His motto is "I will," and he discounts the possibility of failure. The job of The Magician is to make intention into reality, no matter how unlikely or improbable, and in the process, to amaze all who watch him do it.
The Wheel is restless, driven to move ceaselessly from place to place, from drama to drama. At once actor and audience, it is simultaneously involved and detached. At the mercy of what it cannot foresee or prevent, it alternates between exhilaration and lassitude, high spirits and depression, good and bad fortune. Aware of the patterns and repetitions that link seemingly random events, it is unimpressed by them and is capable of patience. The motto of The Wheel is "Wheeee!" The job of The Wheel is to enjoy, both the intensity of the unpredictable moment and the serenity of grand and dependable cycles.
Unintegrated and imperfectly realized, The Magician can be willful and petty. A controlling perfectionist, he can demand the impossible from himself and others. Given to self-deceit and out-and-out lies, he pretends to powers he does not possess in order to enhance his image and instill unwarranted confidence in others.
The Wheel can be fatalistic and melodramatic. Helpless in the face of events, it feels alternately victimized by circumstance and unaccountably lucky. It accepts what happens as destiny, fate or fortune. It experiences everything that happens to it as intensely important, but with no sense of control, it seeks reassurance from seers and oracles, and believes what they say. When things are going well, it hopes that they will continue. When things go badly, it waits for them to get better. The Wheel lives on hopes and fears, guides itself by past experience, and never stops moving.
Together, The Wheel and The Magician are exciting and intense, always interesting and full of surprises. Between them, they make things happen and constantly extend the range of the possible. They keep the world from getting stale.


Yeah, I'm not entirely sure if I relate to this. I was bored and I did it. I wouldn't call myself intense or exciting..and I'm definitely not melodramatic, if anything I'm far from drama. Hm..Magician might be a bit relatable but definitely not the wheel of fortune.

Predilection:


Intensely outward, open and active vs.
Filled with creative but unexpressed potential

Disciplined and regular vs. Chaotic and unpredictable

Natural and adaptable vs. Formal and inwardly certain

  • The World and The Empress have in common clear minds and presence in the moment. In crown and wreath and hand-held symbols they share a sense of high purpose. In the gold of ornament and detail they have a common concern for spiritual elevation. They contrast as active and settled, as expressive and reserved, as personal and formal, as symmetrical and organic.

    The World brings measure to The Empress' abundance; she brings orderly conclusion to The Empress' fertile beginning. The World's energy and openness balances The Empress' immobility and formality.

    Unintegrated and imperfectly realized, The World can be awkward and inappropriate, brazen and overbearing, heavy-handed and destructive, stiffly traditional and unimaginative.

    The Empress can be wildly self-indulgent, unaware of and unconcerned with consequences. She can be vain, overbearing and autocratic, and use weakness, whimsy and helplessness to manipulate people and events.

    Together they can be spontaneous and graceful, beautiful and proportionate. Between them, things do what they were born to do, live as they were meant to live, and last as long as they were meant to last. Between them, destinies are realized and completed.
