Do you know your birth Tarot?

As should be clear to you if you've been reading our articles for a while, all the Tarot cards are within each of us. Each Arcanum is present within us.

If you take the deck in your hand and leaf through it card by card, weighing the meanings and references of each Arcanum, you will discover that deep down in your heart each of them corresponds to a part of you.

No matter how small or large that part is, it's there. Consequently, it's possible to look at the deck as a fragmentation of our interiority.

We could also use another evocative image: the deck is like a shattered mirror. Through it, we can see and reconstruct internal dynamics.

But what is the fragment that is most closely connected to you? I'm referring to that little piece of mirror that is linked to your birth and that expresses your personality better than any other?

There are several methods for understanding which Arcanum is most closely related to you, either by investigating the card associated with your zodiac sign or by calculating your birth Tarot.

Why is it important to know your birth Tarot?

Some of you may be wondering what the point is of knowing your birth Tarot if you have the entire deck inside you. It's a legitimate question.

The Birth Tarot, more than other cards, gives us important information about our personality, our evident and hidden potential, our qualities and our limitations.

It is therefore important to know the birth Tarot because it allows us to know ourselves better and in a more "dry" and concise way.

Meditating on your own qualities, on the unique characteristics you have, is an excellent way to improve yourself and continue your spiritual path with clarity and lucidity.

Furthermore, knowing your Tarot reading unlocks more precise meanings for your spreads. In fact, if your Tarot card appears during a reading, it can be identified as you.

This opens up a deeper reading of the spread and the fortune teller will be able to use this information to dig deeper and read your future with greater accuracy.

Calculate your birth Tarot with your Zodiac sign

The first method to calculate your birth Tarot is the simplest one, that is, by relying on the correlation between the cards and the zodiac signs .

All you need to do is look at the Tarot card that's associated with your sun sign or ascendant. This is a very general approach that doesn't allow for in-depth readings, but it can be very helpful both in your spreads and in better understanding your horoscopes.

Let's see below a simple list of all the combinations of the Tarot cards with the twelve zodiac signs.

Aries: Emperor card

Taurus: Pope card

Gemini: Lovers card

Cancer: Chariot card

Leo: Strength card

Virgo: Hermit card

Libra: Justice card

Scorpio: Death card

Sagittarius: Temperance card

Capricorn: Devil card

Aquarius: Star Chart

Pisces: Moon card

Calculating your personal birth Tarot

To get a much more precise calculation that takes your astrological situation into account in more depth, it will be necessary to perform a calculation.

Don't worry: it's nothing too complex. Simply take your date of birth and, as is traditional, add up all the numbers that make it up.

This is a procedure that underlies much esoteric, magical, numerological, and alchemical knowledge. The sum of the digits in one's birth date is a figure we often find in every field.

If you were born on June 29, 1969, for example, the full calculation would be: 2+9+6+1+9+6+9 = a 42. As you know, in the Tarot deck, the Major Arcana only includes 22 cards, so you will need to continue adding and get 4+2 = 6.

If the sum of the digits that make up your birth date results in a number between 1 and 22, you can consider the card corresponding to that number as your birth Tarot.

Instead, continuing with the example, for those born on June 29, 1969, their Tarot card is the Lovers. This therefore inextricably links their personality to the meanings and symbols of this Arcanum.

To discover the meanings and symbols of each card, it would be advisable to consult a good tarot book or ask your trusted fortune teller for information.

It is always very interesting to study the main meanings of each Arcanum and it is also advisable to meditate on each of them if you intend to improve your life.

All the more reason why it is important to meditate on your birth Tarot, understand its secrets, grasp its nuances, and study in depth the part of ourselves that we feel is reflected in that card.

Below we provide the list of 22 Major Arcana accompanied by some nouns that extremely summarize the meanings of the cards, so as to provide you with a starting point for research.
