Greetings! I'm reading with interest Beth
Owl's daughter's articles on the Tarot. But I missed the earlier
ones, and I'm wondering how you compute the numbers she refers
to from your birthdate. Do you add up m/d/y? Do you use the
whole year (ex 1955) or just the 55? Thanks for your help.
Hi! Karen Newton at Innerchange Magazine
kindly forwarded me your inquiry about my Tarot articles.
I am so glad you are enjoying them. I believe there are links
on each one that can take you to previous and subsequent articles.
Your question is a very good one. There
are several different methods I have seen in doing numerology,
and they can certainly make a difference.
The Tarot profile works like this:
April 25, 1957 would be 4+25+1,957 = 1986
1+9+8+6 =24
Since the Major Arcana only goes to 22,
we would reduce the 24 to 6. Thus, this person's Soul/Personality
card would be VI - The Lovers. If, on the other hand, someone
had a birthday of Feb. 13, 1937, it works like this:
2+13+1,937 = 1952
1+9+5+2 = 17
Since there is a 17 in the Major Arcana
portion of the Tarot, and also 1+7 = 8, this person would
have a combination profile that would include XVII - The Star,
and also VIII - Strength.
Isn't this fun? I really love doing these
profiles. While I've been working with the cards for over
30 years, this new twist only came to my attention a few years
ago, and I am having so much fun exploring and researching
it.
Anyway, I hope this answers your question.
Please feel free to write anytime, and if you would be interested
in receiving *your* own (more detailed) overview, including
what the coming year's energy will be, email me your snail
mail address and the month, day and year of your birth. No
charge. I just love having people get excited about the Tarot!
Many blessings to you, Beth |
