Find Your Tarot Birth Card

What Is a Tarot Birth Card?

Your birth card (also called your tarot birth card) is drawn from your date of birth and points to one of the 22 Major Arcana cards. It's a modern way to explore your innate nature and the themes that tend to repeat throughout your life.

How This Birth Card Calculator Works

Add up every digit in your date of birth, then keep reducing the sum until it's 22 or less. If you land on 0, treat it as 22. Example: May 4, 1990 → 1+9+9+0+5+4 = 28 → 2+8 = 10 → Wheel of Fortune.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate a birth card?

Add up every digit in your date of birth, then keep reducing until you reach 22 or less. Enter your birth date in the calculator above and it's done automatically.

Why do I get a different result on other sites?

It comes down to differing calculation methods. Some sites sum the day, month, and year as separate numbers before reducing, which lands on the same result as this method for most dates — but not all. This page uses the "sum of every digit" method throughout.

Is this the same as a Year Card?

No. Your birth card is a lifelong card drawn from your full date of birth, while a Year Card reflects the themes of a single year, calculated from your birthday and the year in question. This page calculates your birth card.

What does a birth card tell you?

It offers a reading of your innate tendencies and the themes that often repeat in love and life.
