What tarot card am I?
Ever wondered what tarot card best describes you? The short answer is that there is a card that you were born with and also a specific card that will be yours for this year only. Keep reading to find out how to calculate them both.

Calculate what Tarot Card is yours for life
Let’s say you were born 05/04/2001 - take those numbers and add them all together to get the total like this: 5+4+2+1 = 12
Look up card number 12 (the major arcana are numbered from 0 to 21) and you get the Hanged Man. This card would be the card that follows you through life and its themes will be present in various ways throughout the years.
Note: if you get a number over 21 then add those two together to get your card e.g. 36 would be 3 + 6 = 9 which is The Hermit.
What tarot card is yours this year
Do the same as above but instead of your birth year, use this year. For example 05/04/2023 - 5+4+2+2+3 = 16
Card number 16 is The Tower. Thus, the themes of The Tower will be highly present in your life this year.
Each year is unique but also builds on the last time you worked these cards; patterns emerge, cyclical lessons become clearer and the challenges and gifts of each card reveal themselves more and more.
