How to Find Your Purpose with Tarot Birth Cards — Ohm Terra
0 How to Find Your Purpose with Tarot Birth Cards Tarot Apr 21 Written By Julie Have you ever wondered what your purpose is here on Earth? Or wondered what you're supposed to learn while you are here? Looking at your tarot birth cards can help you to figure out what your soul's purpose is in this incarnation.
In tarot, you have multiple cards that represent you, called your birth cards or your soul cards which tell you more about your identity, your inner psyche, and your journey in this life. Your birth cards can be broken down into 3 different cards, your Personality Card, your Soul Card, and your Shadow Card.
Sometimes these cards can be the same card. That means that you are learning the lessons in this life that you are meant to learn throughout your soul’s journey.
Our shadow card shows us the parts of ourselves that we fear, reject, or don’t see. This is similar to a shadow card in a tarot reading, except this card is representative of you, based on your birth date, not just in relation to the tarot reading.
I wrote a post years ago, about how to calculate your birth card. This process is the same process that we are going to use today, but we are going to stop at certain points and determine the different cards.
First, you need your birth date. Then you break it down.
I chose 2 dates, one is my birth date and the other is a random date chosen after the year 2000 as from my previous post, these are years that people have the most trouble figuring out.
Second, you add the single digits until you receive a number that is less than 22.
The first number you receive that is less than 22 is your Personality Card.
If you received a single-digit number after the first sum, as I do in Example #1 below, then your Personality and Soul Cards are the same.
If you can reduce again, do so until you receive a single-digit number.
The single-digit number you receive is your Soul Card.
Add the single Digits of the sum: 2+0+2+1= 5
Your Personality Card is 5 and your Soul Card is also 5.
Add the single digits of the sum: 2+0+4+4= 10
Your Personality Card is 10. But this is a double-digit number, so we need to add the digits together again.
Once you know what your Personality and Soul tarot cards are, you can begin to paint a picture of a personality based on the meanings of the tarot cards. Each of the tarot cards can be broken down into a single digit between 1 and 9. The pattern that arises from the cards with the same single-digit number all share similar characteristics with each other. If you’re not sure what the pattern is between your personality and soul cards, keep reading. Below I briefly describe each of the 9 tarot birth card patterns. If you are looking for more details, each pattern will have a link where I have gone in-depth into the pattern.
In addition to your personality and soul cards, there is a third card that can arise from your birth card pattern. This is your shadow card. A shadow card will show you the areas of your life where you are holding onto fear and keeping yourself from reaching your full potential. Sometimes finding your shadow card can be a little confusing, so below is a chart that includes your shadow card for each set of Personality and Soul Cards that you can have. Your shadow card is one or two of the cards in your tarot pattern that does not match your Personality or Soul Card.
For example: If your Personality Card is 10 and your Soul Card is 1. There is one more card in a typical tarot deck that card break down to a single digit of one.. the Sun, Key 19 (1+9=10=1+0=1).
If you have the birth cards 1-1, 10-1, or 19-10-1, then you fall into the pattern of initiation and manifestation. You are a go-getter who likes to set goals and get to work. Your shadow card will either be 10 or 19, depending on what your personality and soul cards are. People with this pattern typically resonate best with the Aces in the minor arcana, because its the potential energy of the suit and you are all about potential.
