Your date, the Major Arcana
Tarot birth card calculator
Enter a birth date to find the Major Arcana cards linked to it by one date-reduction convention. The result shows the arithmetic and gives you each card's meaning to explore together.
Read the cards as a set
The first card names a broad theme; the reduced card can point to a way that theme becomes personal. Read each card on its own, then ask where they reinforce or challenge each other rather than treating a number as a fixed verdict.
Worked example: 21 February 1950
02 + 21 + 19 + 50 = 92. Then 9 + 2 = 11, Justice; 1 + 1 = 2, The High Priestess. The two cards place weighing consequences beside listening carefully before a decision.
When the reduction reaches 19
Nineteen reduces through ten to one. In this convention that gives three cards: The Sun, Wheel of Fortune and Magician. Other dates produce a two-card set, including an implied two-digit partner when the first reduction is already a single digit.
