There are several techniques to find your ruling Tarot Card. The favorite is to know the numerology of your date of birth and relate it to your Life Path represented in the Tarot cards.
To know the number of your Life Path you must add the date of birth until you obtain a number less than 22, since the Major Arcana of the Tarot, which represent the most important mysteries of Life, are numbered up to the number 22. In numerology these Even numbers are also simplified to a number between 1 and 9 but for the purpose of knowing your Tarot Card, we will skip that step.
Example: if a person is born on January 1, 1985, all these numbers will be added:
1 + 1 + 1+9+8+5 = 25 = 2 + 5 = 7
This date of birth has a number 7 to represent the Path of Life and is associated with the Tarot Card of “The Chariot”.
But in this example we have a number less than 22 with a person who was born on February 1, 2007:
1 + 2 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 7= 12
By having the number 12, less than 22, the Arcanum number 12 of the Tarot, “The Hanged Man”, will govern the Path of Life. Which has an auxiliary Letter that would be number 3, for the sum of both, which is associated with the Letter of the Empress.
The combination of Tarot and numerology is intrinsic, they cannot be separated from each other. It is a very useful tool in the practice of this psychic exercise that helps us discover our destiny and reflect on each step we take on a daily basis.
