How to calculate your tarot birth card
This calculator uses the single-card 22-arcana method. Add every digit in your birth date, then subtract 22 from totals above 22 until the result falls between 1 and 22. Numbers 1 through 21 match the numbered Major Arcana, while 22 represents The Fool.
For example, February 14, 1994 gives 1 + 9 + 9 + 4 + 0 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 30. Subtracting 22 gives 8, so the tarot birth card in this method is Strength.
What your result means
A birth card is a symbolic archetype for self-reflection. It does not determine your personality or predict your future. After calculating, read the card's upright and reversed meanings, then compare them with your experiences, strengths, and recurring life themes.
