Hoping to take a deeper dive into the world of tarot cards? Your tarot birth cards are a great place to start. All you need is your birthdate to get started—and we’re here to help you along the way. Read on for an in-depth look at what your birth cards mean, how to calculate them, and what your results mean for you.
Things You Should Know
- Add the individual digits of your full birthdate together. If you were born on June 26, 1996, you’d add 0 + 6 + 2 + 6 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 6, which gives you 39.
- Add the individual digits of your birthdate sum together to find your first birth card number. For example, 3 + 9 = 12, which makes the first card number 12.
- Add the individual digits of your first birth card together to reveal your second card number. Since 1 + 2 = 3, the second card number would be 3.
- Compare your card numbers with a numbered list of major arcana tarot cards to find your birth cards.

How to Calculate Your Birth Card
- Convert your birthday into an 8-digit number. Let’s say that you were born on May 8, 1995—to find your tarot birth cards, you’d write this number as 0-5-0-8-1-9-9-5.[3]
- Add the digits of your birthdate together, along with both digits in this sum. Take 0-5-0-8-1-9-9-5, for instance; when added together individually, you get a sum of 37. From there, add 3 and 7 together to get 10—your first birth card number.
- Add together both digits of your first card number to get your second card number. Let’s take our previous sum, 10, for instance—we add the first and the second digit together, just like we did before. One plus 0 equals 1, which makes 1 your second number.[4]
- What if your first number only adds up to 1 digit? No worries! Create a simple addition problem using 1 and the other number that adds up to your single-digit sum. Let’s say your first number added up to 3: 1 plus 2 equals 3, which makes your second number 12 (1 and 2 combined). The number 4 would give you 13 (1 + 3), 5 would give you 14 (1 + 4), 6 would give you 15 (1 + 5), 7 would give you 16 (1 + 6), 8 would give you 17 (1 + 7), and 9 would give you 18 (1 + 8).
- If your original birthday sum was 19, you actually have 3 birth card numbers. Adding 1 and 9 gives you 10, which can be further simplified to 1 (since 1 + 0 = 1). In this unique case, your birth card numbers are 19, 10, and 1.
- Match your numbers with the corresponding tarot cards. Each major arcana tarot card is numbered the same way in every tarot deck out there. Compare your 2-3 numbers with the following list and see what your set of birth cards is—they’ll fall into 1 of 12 established card pairs or trios.
- 1: The Magician
- 2: The High Priestess
- 3: The Empress
- 4: The Emperor
- 5: The Hierophant
- 6: The Lovers
- 7: The Chariot
- 8: Strength
- 9: The Hermit
