How to Calculate Your Tarot Birth Cards

While our Tarot birth cards calculator at the top of this page can easily generate your birth cards for you, we get if you’d like to do it yourself!

If the sum of the numbers is a two-digit number, add the two digits together and continue reducing it until it becomes a single digit number. This is how you use numerology calculations to get the result of your Tarot birth cards.

By doing this calculation, you’ll often find The Major Arcana card with the two-digit numbers, so Major Arcana cards between 10 to 21. That number correlated with that Major Arcana card will be your first birth card. To find your second birth card, continue the calculation by reducing the two-digit number to a single digit by adding the two digits together. Sometimes when you are doing the calculations, you will find the single digit card first. It depends on how you calculate it!

Start by breaking your birthday into four two-digit numbers following this formula: MM + DD + YY + YY

EXAMPLE 1:

If you were born on 03/16/1989, your equation would be: 03 + 16 + 19 + 89

0 + 3 = 3

1 + 6 = 7

1 + 9 = 10 which reduces to 1 + 0 = 1

8 + 9 = 17 which reduces to 1 + 7 = 8

This breaks down into 3 + 7 + 1 + 8 = 19

19 reduces to 1 + 9 = 10

1 + 0 = 1

This result calculates to The Magician, Wheel of Fortune, and Sun Tarot Birth Cards. This card pairing is three cards instead of two because 19 reduces to another two-digit number, then down to a single digit number (1 + 9 = 10, and 1 + 0 = 1). In this case, your Tarot birth cards are The Sun (19), The Wheel (10), and The Magician (1).

EXAMPLE 2:

Another way you can calculate your Tarot birth cards is to add each individual number up together.

09/18/1967 = 0 + 9 + 1 + 8 + 1 + 9 + 6 + 7 = 41

4 + 1 = 5

Numerology wise, you can also see 41 as 14 which correlates to the Temperance card as they both add up to 5.

Here’s how to calculate it using the MM + DD + YY + YY example.

0 + 9 = 9

1 + 8 = 9

1 + 9 = 10 which reduces to 1 + 0 = 1

6 + 7 = 13 which reduces to 1 + 3 = 4

9 + 9 + 1 + 4 = 23

2 + 3 = 5

(5) = The Hierophant Card
(14) = The Temperance Card

The results for this calculation are The Hierophant and Temperance Tarot Birth Cards.
