Year Cards & Personal Cycles

Year Cards & Personal Cycles

Just as your birth date maps to a permanent Major Arcana card, each calendar year has a personal tarot card — your Year Card — that reveals that year's theme and energy.

How to Calculate Your Year Card

1. Take your birth month and day, plus the current year
2. Add all digits and reduce to a Major Arcana number (0–21)
3. If you get 22, it becomes The Fool (0)

For example, born April 7, reading for 2025: 4 + 7 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 20 = Judgement. This would be a year of reckoning, awakening, and significant life review.

Year cards create a 22-year cycle of experience — you move through every Major Arcana archetype across your lifetime.
