So interesting! My number turned out to be an 11, and I listened to your description of the Justice card and thought hmm…that doesn’t sound terribly like me - only slightly. Then you said 11 could also be the High Priestess card, so I listened to that description again and thought: okay, THAT makes way more sense 😂 very intriguing
I explain it really simply in this video but you will always reduce to the single digit for your true self: the High Priestess is intuitive, wise and the guardian of the truth, with knowledge of the unseen worlds, she's in tune with the universe and able to detect subtle energies (much like a cat!) The Justice aspect is interesting because you may instinctively and at times visibly flinch if you see an injustice occur. ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK so very much me. I’m an 11, but also a 2 (if we take it all the way). I always knew I was intuitive but my parents pushed me into law as a profession. Ha! Did that for 15 years before breaking free.
i'm also an 11 and i can say i feel a deep connection with anything about justice. I was quite surprised this was so accurate for me. I can, also, find aspects of myself in high priestess, but justice was really close to me really.
I'm a 5 - The Hierophant. Perfect fit! I've got the Sun, Mercury and Pluto in Scorpio in my ninth house, and I'm all about knowledge. Knowledge is all I seek. I'm deeply passionate about theology, philosophy, history, literature, pure mathematics, astrology etc and will go to any depths to master these sciences and unravel age-old mysteries!
16, so the tower, very much resonated! Even when I was little I would do random things just to entertain myself and see people’s reactions xD I would go from playing princess to playing shoot out cowboy and all of my family members would be so confused, I found it quite funny
If you reduce it down even further to a 7 (16 = 1+6) you are also the chariot. When something needs doing they roll up their sleeves and get the job done ❤
I'm so glad I found your channel. It makes it very approachable! I'm slowly making my way through the playlist. I can't wait to start practising. Thank you so much.
I'm very happy that you've found the channel too. There are no coincidences in our world and I'm glad to be a part of your tarot journey. It is obviously the right time for you ❤️
I recently came across a video of yours explaining how to do a tarot reading for yourself. Very informative my add, thank you! And then today came across this video, again very informative and again thank you! After only watching 2 videos, I've not only become a fan I've also become a subscriber and follower! Your videos are not only informative but are also very easy to understand, follow and learn from. Without leaving the viewer (speaking of myself. lol.) feeling completely confused, unsure, uncertain and or just absurdly, udderly and completely LOST within the explanation/dialogue/example of it all! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK! so very much for the time you take to make easy to understand, follow along with, and comprehend explanations and examplesd ways of understanding, reading and interpreting tarot cards! 🫶 Sincerely, your new follower and fan 🫶
Aw, my heart warmed whilst reading your comment, thank you. It's genuinely why I make them. I feel that we are modern day custodians of this beautiful and empowering knowledge and that it is my duty and honour to be able to share it with as many who are willing to listen, learn and empower their own lives, as possible. I am happy to share your tarot journey with you ❤️❤️
I have just come acrass your channel. It is so interesting. My cards are tge Wheel of Fortune and the Magician. I identify more with the Magician as I love exploring different philosophies and creating things. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment, and that 's a gorgeous combo, very lucky! The Wheel of Fortune is also seen as the card of Fate (what will be, will be) so that also explains your philosophical interest and The Magician is able to change any situation though tenacity alone, and using everything around them for a positive outcome. You will be unstoppable if you set your mind to something! ❤
Love this video and the way you have broken down the calculations are so easy to follow. My tarot birth card is the hierophant card and that really describes my personality to a tee. I love reading and studying. I am always learning new things and am willing to share with others what i have learned. and I could be rigid to a fault at times. So when you begin describing the meaning of card number 5 I was like yep that's me lol. I can't wait to discover what my other family members tarot card is. This is quite interesting. 😁
im so pleased to have discovered you at the beginning of my tarot journey. Such a generous gift you are giving us all. Thank you for all your tutorials 💜
That's amazing! A perfect match and a blessing too. The Lovers birth card needs their other half to achieve balance and harmony, without it they never feel quite complete but can't quite understand why. If they can't find it in a person it finds peace in a passionate pursuit if that makes sense ❤️
I'm only just learning to read tarot and I was reeling when I did my first reading today and it called out some very uncomfortable truths about myself I'd been avoiding 😅 So I decided to do this for a fun little game, since your videos were such an easy but informative way for me to dip my toes into tarot. I got Hanged Man, which really described my outward interactions with others to a tee but didn't feel *fully* right...then you talked about reducing double digits and I got Empress as well, and it felt like something truly clicked into place in my core. Never believed in tarot before now but uh...I think I'll have to pay attention to the cards from now on 😂
I'm so pleased that you are enjoying them and more importantly that it makes sense. How lovely that you are the example I gave for 2 cards at the end of the video too. Spookily intuitive! 😉 ❤
I'm a 6 (42 before reducing it to a single number) which is interesting because 1) I definitely see myself as a person with a deep love for life and every single thing that life touches, and 2) 42 is considered to be the answer to life and the universe by a very famous fiction author, and guess what, ever since I was a child I knew my purpose was to create stories that would inspire others and now I'm working on becoming an author myself! I'm an introvert and I can't fully express all the love I have inside of me, writing is the best way I know how. All of this can't be a coincidence (sorry if there's any typo or something, english isn't my first language)
What a lovely comment to read. 6's are our artists, writers, poets, lovers of life, passionate about nature, it all fits and you are in your perfect place as a writer. I wish you the very best of luck with your writing career and there is absolutely no such thing as a coincidence in this beautiful universe of ours ❤️
You are so welcome. Justice and High Priestess. You are both freedom fighters in one way or the other, very concerned with what is 'right/just and fair' and The High Priestess means you will smell a lie/deceit a mile off! Plus you will feel your way to the truth. I love this combination. Your intuition will always lead you to the right path as long as you manage to silence that inner chatter. High Priestess is so powerful! ❤️
You have a beautiful approach to Tarot, and I absolutely love your gentle way of approaching it. It's so touching and makes you feel nurtured and reassured; a wonderful and warm soul! I have just started getting into Tarot and actually it was your Tarot tutorial playlist that helped me familiarize with the my first Smith-Waite Borderless Deck and understand the cards in a simple way for a beginner. I can't thank you enough for this! I wonder have you ever used the Light Seer's Tarot Deck or Angel cards as well? I have ordered these and hope to grow in my knowledge as a Tarot reader and student of spiritual teachings.
Your words touched my heart, thank you so very much. Tarot is undoubtedly the love of my life, I'm grateful that it came into my life (it was a mess at the time) and it's my absolute honor to share it with you too. It's a lifelong journey and even now, after 30 plus years, I'm still discovering the odd little nugget of wisdom. I'm so glad that I've been able to be a part of yours. In answer to your question; the Light Seer's is a gorgeous deck, very popular and a personal favourite of mine. It's Rider-Waite based so it will be a straightforward transition if you prefer it visually. It has a 'bo-ho' feel to it, many beginners start with this deck. Let me know what you think when it arrives. Yes, I love Angel cards, I worked with the Angelic realm back in 2012 when I went through a spiritual ascension of sorts... Angels are there, ready and waiting to help us. I particularly love Raphael's healing energy. I use the Angel cards of Healing & Hope for the Tarotscopes at times as the Oracle card. I don't read with Angel cards because my go-to are the Tarot but I know some professional Angel card readers and that's all they use. Hope that helps? Maria ❤️
Hi Mariah, I just received my new decks. I received the Light Seer's Tarot deck and I also got the Archangel Michael Sword of Light Oracle deck. I already have the borderless Smith-Waite tarot, but I'm just asking have you any advice on how to connects with yer deck intuitively and how to shuffle best? Because I've been trying to connect with my Light Seer's deck and I know at the moment I haven't shuffled them the best yet because they still tend to come out as the cards you'd expect to come after. So I tried something funny. I tried individually from each suit to connect them one by one in number and the major arcana cards to come in between and shuffled, but yeah so far my new deck is taking time. If you've any shuffling and tips on connecting with tarot decks I'd greatly appreciate it. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but so far they don't feel shuffled right.@@TheTarotShopUK
@Jay-bi8vz two lovely decks. I'll make a video on this topic and post the link here for you. It's a good and regularly asked question. I've pulled out the light seers pocket deck to use in the video, which will add meaning for you I hope ❤️
Oh, that's so lovely, thank you so much! Please let me know when :) As always, greatly appreciate your wonderful teachings and touching approach to Tarot.@@TheTarotShopUK
Mine added up to 11 so I have two cards…Justice and High Priestess, it sounds like me too. I love to learn and I loathe injustice deeply. I do say, “that’s not right” and I do consider balance and fairness. Wow!
I love the birth cards, so insightful. You could always keep these two cards in a prominent place to remind you that you are powerful and connected to the divine too. ❤️
I may redo this video at some point in the future so I will definitely take this on board thank you. It's such a fun exercise too. I also won't use such a light coloured pen next time❤️
My birth date is 18.05.1994. If I counted it correctly it is 1. Magician! I felt it! I am creative and also really good at manifesting anything (if I believe strongly and do visualization meditation)! Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
Yes, you are a Magician with your birthdate - it's good to hear that you are already stepping into your energy (manifesting) and your thoughts will always have power ❤️
Birth cards are such fun and so insightful, just explains so much about our purpose too I feel. The Empress creates, nurtures and see the beauty in life. ❤️
They represent the two pillars at the entrance to the Temple of Solomon. B for Boaz (usually placed on the left side) symbolises strength or stability. J for Jachin (right side) symbolises establishment or wisdom. Together they represent balance and duality. ❤️
Yes, which makes you a creator. We always reduce to one single and the second card that falls below 21 is the way in which we do it. For example, you will create/give birth to an idea and do this in a Hanged Man way, which is to allow or surrender to the universe to make it happen ❤️
So... My card is strength... Then I calculated my wife's card and her's is strength too! 😮 I tried to look up what the impact of that is and couldn't find anything... I am assuming that is why we are always struggling with each other and neither is giving up after 29years. 😢
@virtualhermit it means you have similar life paths, values and/or beliefs but you are essentially two lion tamers which means you are both very resilient ❤️
Thanks for the video! I am the Chariot by birth date total. I was interested in birth number numerology many years back, so it's a bit of a haze :)) but I was wondering now watching this...would it be possible to say, ok, my total birth number is 7 (chariot) but do the numbers of the day, month, and year also highlight aspects of personality? In mine for example (12/11/1964) day would be 3, month 2, year 20 (and so also 2 )and maybe even 0? so my Charioteer overall might have aspects of empress, high priestess (twice) and judgement, possibly even the fool ?. Not sure if that's a valid thought or just an side track, or if it has any value. I was also wondering, would the numerological values of the name you are given at birth also have an influence? Many thanks!
Ah numerology, one of my favourite topics. I studied Chaldean for about 2 years, much preferring it over pythagoras (I never forgave him for ruining maths for me 🤪) In answer to your question, anything is possible but we tend to keep them separate. Numerology transfers the alphabet into its energetic notes and Tarot uses those numbers to give you a path. Probably because names can be changed. As a 7 (wisdom seeker) with chariot path, nothing will stop you in pursuit of this wisdom. You are also the tower (16 - 1+6) which means you will have an element of chaos about you, either able to deal with it without blinking (many run in the other direction) or it brings the best out in you. Also this year is a 7 (2023 2+2+3) year which may be significant for you. Fascinating topic isn't it ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK hello - and thank you so much for the information! Let's not even go there with maths - that's my run the other way trigger, haha. The Tower...that's a card that's been knocking - or should I say hammering - on my door lately :D The chaos thing makes so much sense. Numerology is fascinating!
Thank you so much for this!! Been trying to find ways to get this info since my tarot mentor alerted me about my birth card and here I was thinking you have to shuffle the major arcana cards 😂😂. My question is, for instance I am the magician meaning the number was reduced even further from 10 to 1. So in which instance do we not reduce further to a single digit and just stick to for instance, the wheel of fortune
Great question. I always keep it simple so as to not overcomplicate but you are BOTH the Magician and the Wheel of Fortune. The character is the Magician and the Wheel of Fortune is the energy. As you know the cards you'll understand that the Wheel of Fortune is the card of change and what do Magicians do - they change things, create something from nothing in effect. So you'll be a change maker, and this is when you will be at your most comfortable. Anything that restricts or ties you down will make you very uncomfortable unless it's your choice. Hope that makes sense ❤️
Hi, yes that's right, the single digit is the core nature but the double digit (14) is another layer to your nature. For example, I'm a 3 the Empress and a nurturer and I am also a 12 (the double digit equation) the Hermit and I like nurture in my own time, on my own terms and with ever such a tiny splash of the martyr. The double digit aspect adds a 3d element to us rather than a 2d flat picture. In summary, you are a 5 the Hierophant, curious wisdom seeker and sharer (it's all about knowledge) and you will do this is in a Temperance way with a balanced view and patiently. ❤️
Thank-you Maria ❤🏵️ ❤I Love your insights and explanations!🌹My nmbrs came out to be the High Priestess; interesting… I tend to get the High Priestess in my readings…. 😊 ❤
I always think it makes such sense... High Priestess and Tarot are a match made in heaven. Especially once you understand where it comes from and how it works. It's a journey of secrecy amd hidden knowledge through time ❤
I have taken several tarot classes that have left me so confused. I have purchased many books on the tarot. Still confused. I want you to know you have cleared away much of this confusion. I may get out my cards to see if I am able to read what the cards are telling me. What do you do with your born energy card ? Where do you place it for reading? My number is 9. Since I lust discovered your videos, please let me say I do wish you still did private readings! Thank you so very much for these videos, I am really enjoying them!!!
Oh my, what a wonderful validation thank you. It's a personal mission of mine to make this beautiful art of Tarot available and accessible for many because this knowledge is our birthright. Tarot weaves a little spell on us all and I admire your tenacity that you kept at it! I'm delighted that I've been able to open that door if only a little for you. With the Hermit as your soul card you will be on a natural path to find that Inner Wisdom and Truth to the Meaning of Life, which is why you have tried to stay the course on your own. The Chaldean Numerology chart which predates Pythagoras has the number 9 as it's most holy and didn't even aware a letter to it. In summary, you are a seeker of the truth which will be wonderful for Tarot. When reading for yourself, you could use the Hermit as a significator which means you just place it on the table as card number 1 and the whole reading follows. The most effective use of the birth card is to understand the natural energy that flows within us and work with it rather than against it, because it is the air that we breathe! You are also the Moon (1+8 = 9) which makes you also mysterious and people will only see what you want them to see. I'm happy that you are enjoying the videos and welcome to the wonderful world of Tarot ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK Wow! Thank you so much for your reply. My expression number is 8 ( had forgotten what it was called, but searched around now to remember). I had very quick numbers reading years ago at a fair. That written reading part was filed away long ago in a cardboard box somewhere in the attic along with a bunch of astrology charts from my ancient youth. I will be 78 on this November 6th with a natal eighth house Scorpio sun, moon in the ninth house in Sagittarius, with Pisces rising. I know it all says I should be able to read cards or write a book or do some brilliant thing with four planets in air and no earth. No, I am not doing any of that. I put aside tarot, astrology, and classes/groups to open the third eye and got busy working to make a living to support myself and my two sons. I prayed to stop seeing spirits as I could not figure out what did it all really mean or provide value to me. Perhaps, now that I have so much time and you have inspired me to give it all a second look, I will. And do I have books on these subjects!! I will be viewing your videos and following along and see what awakens within me.Thank you for being such a great teacher!!! All the best to you!!
I will try this out. I have done it with playing cards, which was the 9 of Clubs, and that converted to the 9 of Wands (Wounded Warrior). So is it possible a person could have a Major and Minor Arcana card at their time of birth?
I've only ever used the Majors for birth cards but it's entirely possible that you could also resonate with a numerological equivalent as in your case. 9 is also the most sacred number in Chaldean numerology - the eternal spirit ❤️
Very insightful, gratitude! If a person was born between 12:00 midnight and 12:59 am during daylight savings time, could we run the numbers based on standard time which changes the birthdate?
As the date that daylight saving changes from year to year it makes astrological sense to me to use standard time because it is fixed. If this feels 'wrong' and 'unnatural' to you then use the DST instead. ❤️
This is quite interesting, I got the emperor even though I’m not much of a leader 😅 though I’ve noticed I have started taking charge of things when no one else wants to
This was just a simple explanation to keep it brief but the Emperor is so much more. They are responsible, considerate, caring, and organisational, with a tendency to take on too much. Emperors also take on the world, one battle at a time! Very practical and always concerned about the welfare of vulnerable citizens. Much like a true Emperor ❤️
The universe works in mysterious ways.. You are amongst like minded souls ❤️ 2/11 - you are all secret wisdom seekers and are on your destined path. Whenever I see the Justice card in a reading I know that divinity is at work ❤️
Hello ! Thank you for sharing the knowledge with us - my number came out to be 7 - but i don't think it applies to me in any considerable way - is there a possible 2nd card for the number 7 ( my birthdate is 14/12/1988)? Thank you!
Hello, so a 7 is also a 16 (1+6=7) The Tower. Chariot soul purpose and Tower energy is a wonderful combination. At it's core the energy is 'be the change you want to see in the world' challenging ideas that no longer serve yourself or the collective. It's a revolutionary combination and not in an aggressive destructive way but in building something that will last. You can rely on the chariot to take on the task and get it done without question and the tower to build a solid foundation. In astrological terms its very similar to Mars and Taurus energy mix. It's reliable, solid and never dull! The 7 life number in Chaldean numerology is also the wisdom seeker and subsequent teacher which adds to the combination. The student usually becomes the teacher. It's powerful, strong, reliable and eternal.❤
Thank you so much for this video I absolutely loved it. Sorry I didn’t understand the last part! So I am a number 12 but I am not sure how is it made to the single double digit, do you mean I would also be 1 and 2? Or that I am also 3?
I got 22! Honestly, the emperor doesn't suit me at all but the High Priestess fits me perfectly. Interpreting it as an a High Priestess because of the double two would be fine too right?
If it doesn't feel right, there is a more dominant part of your character which could easily equate to the High Priestess. She wants to share the secret knowledge of the mysteries but only to those who will preserve and respect it. I also having a feeling that I have underplayed the Emperor in this video because you're not the first to say it doesn't connect. The Emperor is a leader, a fighter for the truth, justice and his people, he will right any wrongs and take on the world if it harms those he protects. He feels the responsibility and takes his duties very seriously. He can also be interpreted as a 'she' it's the energy of Boudica, Cleopatra. They are unforgettable and unstoppable, they protect, defend and take care of those who follow them, the original alpha ❤️
Hi @TheTarotShopUK , I tought since their are 22 major arcanas, but they stop at the 21th, we could consider the 22th card as a 0 (the Fool). What do you think ?
You reduce it down to one single digit 2 + 0 = 2, which is the High Priestess, a seeker and keeper of secrets, intuition, knowledge and because your double digit is less than 22 (number of cards in Major Arcana) you are also 20. High Priestess is your core and Judgement is your how. You will be the seeker and keeper by following your own path and through a series if resurrections, you have the ability to rise from the ashes and start again, like a phoenix. Hope that helps ❤

Welcome to the world of tarot. You are a Magician (1) at your core with the Wheel of Fortune (10) as your energetic cloak. An amazingly powerful combo when the mind and willpower line up! It's no wonder you have found tarot ❤️
@urtheappleofmyeye we always reduce to a single digit first which is our primary birth card (who we are) and the second card is the number before it was reduced to a single digit and is under the value of 21(the number of major Arcana cards) Example birth date reduces to 20 - card 1 is number 2 because 2 + 0 = 2 (one number only) and card 2 which is how we are (character) is 20, which is the first number before we reduce to a single number and it is our character. However, if the first double number is 23 for example, this would reduce to 5, but because it is greater than the number 21 (number of major Arcana cards) 23 cannot be used so we look at the number 5 to find its second card that adds up to '5' This is '14' because 1 + 4 = 5. So, this is how we do this so that we can discover our purpose (card 1) and energy/character type (card 2). Some say card 1 is our soul journey, and 2 is our nature. I hope that helps understand how and why we have 2 numbers ❤️
Good question. You embrace the energy that naturally flows within you. For example, my birth card is the Empress which means I have to keep topped up with creative projects (that's what Empress's do) and I need to nurture, to give and encourage growth. When you embrace your energy, life flows with you and for you, rather than against you. Hope that helps answer your question ❤️
Powerhouse combination! I would definitely want you in my corner. You are reliable, responsible and a survivor. The Death card literally means you can rise from the ashes, every time life knocks you, you'll dust yourself down after processing it and get on with it. The Emperor also means that your house will need be in order for you to focus, if not, there will need to be control. Chaos will seriously unnerve you. ❤️
Routine is also a predictable pattern of continuity, moving forward in a regular steady pattern, much like a clock. Imagine tick tock, tick tock. So, in your sense, the routine is controlled change. The unexpected will alarm you, so change doesn't always have to be a bad thing but it is still forward movement. Does that help? ❤️
Hi there, me too!! It's hard not to go deep on this one because it's a very deep combination. Firstly, the Hanged Man is one of life's 'givers', he is a martyr and sacrifices his own self for the greater good or a belief. He would prefer to watch and wait and will make a stand for a belief when provoked. So, that's the behaviour and the Empress is at the root of it all, the driving factor, the essence if who you really are; a mother, a caregiver, a nurturer and a life giver. The original Gaian energy. In simple terms you will give up a part of yourself for the Goddess energy of love. A humanitarian, animal or nature lover and you will believe passionately in creation. 3's in numerology are also the Trinity power which is psychic connection! Hope that helps and I'm very happy that the channel is providing some guidance. Welcome to your new journey into Tarot - it's a wonderful voyage toward empowerment ❤
Hey, i got 15 which is Devil card and 1+5 is 6 which is lover card, i saw the meanings of card and i can resonate with both of them, but i am little bit confused too. How shall i interpret them?
Sorry that it's taken me a while to get back to you. Okay, so the single digit is the 6 which is the lovers and this is the core/root and purpose of your life. To love, bring harmony, create beauty, encourage passion and zest for life as well as be the one half of a whole, you are destined to be half of an equation; the other half will be a consuming connection, person or alternatively a mission/animals welfare that sort of thing. And you will action this out, behave in a Devilish way, charming, consuming, tempting, disorganised and distracted fashion. Hope that helps ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK I Just realised, having now checked some previous notes, had a brain fart and thought I was seeing a number 2 on the magician. Ridiculous really as I so know the fool is 0! So sorry about that! My excuse is that I’m a senior citizen and suffering from a nasty cold virus!🤧….Honestly!. Love the channel by the way, Subscribed. So I’m the Magician! 🪄and the wheel of fortune?
I completely understand - my brain and my eyes often have challenging interactions. I'm glad you asked. You are a number 2 Magician which would make your first card before reduction an 11, which is the Justice card. Your character is concerned about what is just, right and truth or true and your nature is mastery, skill and magical. You will be able to conjur up the truth in a situation through skillful discussion. Put the two energies together; Magician ; masterful, powerful, creative, skillful and Justice; truth, justice, balance and duality. Hope that helps ❤️ PS. Sending you well wishes for a speedy recovery ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK Thankyou for the well wishes, very kind of you. My birth numbers actually came down to 10 which comes to 1, magician and 10 ? Wheel of fortune (I think you interpreted my 1 plus an exclamation mark in my comment as coming to 2 and 11?!😂
@@maxheadroom7687 😅 perfect example of the eyes brain example I quoted earlier 😊 yes, so a creator of your own destiny! Very curious about the unseen forces that control change ❤

So my Birthday is 19-5-1996 which equals to 40 which equals to 4. That would mean my card would be The Emperor, but this totally doesn't resonate with me. I would be more like The Empress (Which is the fourth card when counting The Fool) than anything else (yeah also the devil because I'm a master procrastinator But let that to the side). Edit: 3 Is also a common number in my life. For most of my childhood and young adulthood while I still lived with my parents our house number was 3, I can remember 3 houses we lived in before moving out to a house with house number 3. At school I often unintentionally hung my jacket on the third hook. At my work I'm the third engineer. So I feel card 3 The Empress is more my card then my "birth Card".
This is the wonderful thing about Tarot, it's also an intuitive tool. If you feel more connected to '3' then that's also to do with your intuition. It certainly appears to figure in your life. I wonder if you were also 'destined' to be a 3. You may be what we would call a 'cusp'. If you had been born the day before you would have been arrived as a 3! So you'll have the energy of both. 3s are creators and 4s manifest, they turn the creation into a reality. It's super fascinating stuff! ❤️
Hi, they're just a keyword quick interpretation and Strength is such a multifaceted card. The main character uses gentle persuasion to tame the beast. It's a character that is persistent, tenacious, gentle, soothing, skilled and at one with nature ❤️
Your single digit card is 3 if you are a 21. So, you are an Empress with the World. The Empress (Card 3) represents creativity, abundance, and a nurturing energy. It highlights your ability to foster growth, whether in relationships, projects, or personal life. You’re someone who brings beauty and harmony into the world, nurturing others and helping things flourish. The World (Card 21) is all about fulfilment and coming full circle. It signifies completion and the joy of reaching the end of a meaningful journey. You have a natural gift for seeing things through, from the first spark of an idea to the moment of achievement. Together, these cards suggest a life path where you bring things to life with your creative, nurturing energy and find deep satisfaction in seeing them come to completion. It’s a beautiful balance of starting and finishing, with joy and fulfilment in both - what I like to refer to as a starter-finisher with Mother Nature at the wheel. Hope that helps ❤️
I'm a bit confused by the difference in the method of calculating the birth card in your video compared to the method explained in the downloadable guide you provide... 🤔
I'm also confused. Which downloadable guide is this? It's been a while. 😉 Essentially, add up all of the numbers for your date of birth to arrive at a single digit for your birth card. Keep adding until you reach one single digit. Does that help? ❤
@@DanielDeRudder I had completely forgotten that I'd attached that one. To be honest, you can do it both ways and you will end up with the same number, add the single numbers as I suggest in the video or add double number as I suggest in the pdf. It still equates to the same number, either/or. I use the single numbers because my maths is appalling but if I can grab a calculator I will use the double. I hope that makes sense ❤
hi maria this is brillant but am as thick as two sort planks when it come to maths so i did 24 5 1963 exsample +2+4+5+1+9+6+3 = 30 + 3 = 3 as i cant put the 0 in is this correct i got the Empress is that right many thanks dawn
Hi Dawn, yes, 100% correct. You are the Empress. You are Gaia and Mother Nature in her truest form. Powerful and uncompromising when you defend your tribe. I don't want to over complicate it but you are also Hanged Man (1+2=3) which means you are able to withdraw from the world's chaos to find the answers within and connect to a greater cause/power. ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK thank you so much but forgive me i dont get the Hangman bit how did you work that out 1+2 = 3 out of what the only 3 i get is the 1963 so the number 3 on the end of year means ?
@@dawnallen6551 The second number is obtained by taking your single digit number and finding the double digit from the Major Arcana cards. There are only 21 numbers or Major Arcana cards to equate to). For example, yours is 12 because 1 and 2 add up to 3 and 12 (and it's a number under 21 possibilities). Another one would be 5, so 1 plus 4 = 5 so the second number is 14, (it's under 21, your could have 3 = 2 because 32 is more than 21), 7 would be 1 + 6, 16 because it's under 21, you couldn't have 2 + 5 because 25 is greater than 21. Does that make sense? It is quite complicated and to be honest you can function perfectly well as your single birth number ❤
@@TheTarotShopUK So i get only "The Chariot". My wife gets "The wheel of Fortune and the Magician" and my son gets "the Devil and the lovers". Definitley an interesting combination.
Using this system it is impossible to arrive at 0, the fool. There must be a reason for this. I think this is because the fool is the one journeying through all the other cards which represent the entire human experience, and that we are all represented by the fool because we are all on a journey through life.
Yes, you are absolutely correct. When we journey through the Tarot to learn the cards it's often referred to as "The Fool's Journey", the first 7 cards (starting with the Fool full of blind faith) give us experiences as a novice, the next 7 we learn to master our experiences and the final seven we move into the celestial connections, our spiritual journey. ❤️
@@landang7906 Of course I didn't mind, you were quite right, I think I even commented that it wasn't a particularly good choice of pen colour. Ah, so you are an 8 (Strength) plus a 17 - 1+7=8 (The Star) Your core nature is 8 (inner you) and 17 is how others will see you. Dreamy, directional, celestial, angelic, connected, spiritual and your core is gentle but firm. ❤
@@TheTarotShopUK Thank you so much. I've been following your post old and new to get the hang of it. Your explanations are to the point, very easy to get even for a slow learner like me. 🥰
@amandabucci2777 100%. We always reduce to a single digit first. So your primary is 1 the magician and 10 the Wheel is how you achieve this. You are a manifestor first, and you grow in power with each cycle of life ❤️
That's a fabulous card because you add the double digits together to make you the Emperor. Your home is your castle and with the death card you will thrive whatever life throws at you. A survivor who builds their own empire ❤
The Emperor is so much more than that - he is responsible, caring for his family, reliable, a problem solver and a leader. The Emperor is the first in line to protect his people and will do anything to defend their beliefs, philosophies and way of life. As a woman think of Boudica, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Florence Nightingale, Mary Magdalen, Queens, Warriors and then you can truly step into and own that energy. It's phenomenal ❤

So interesting! My number turned out to be an 11, and I listened to your description of the Justice card and thought hmm…that doesn’t sound terribly like me - only slightly. Then you said 11 could also be the High Priestess card, so I listened to that description again and thought: okay, THAT makes way more sense 😂 very intriguing
I explain it really simply in this video but you will always reduce to the single digit for your true self: the High Priestess is intuitive, wise and the guardian of the truth, with knowledge of the unseen worlds, she's in tune with the universe and able to detect subtle energies (much like a cat!) The Justice aspect is interesting because you may instinctively and at times visibly flinch if you see an injustice occur. ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK so very much me. I’m an 11, but also a 2 (if we take it all the way). I always knew I was intuitive but my parents pushed me into law as a profession. Ha! Did that for 15 years before breaking free.
i'm also an 11 and i can say i feel a deep connection with anything about justice. I was quite surprised this was so accurate for me.
I can, also, find aspects of myself in high priestess, but justice was really close to me really.
I'm also an 11))
I'm a 5 - The Hierophant. Perfect fit! I've got the Sun, Mercury and Pluto in Scorpio in my ninth house, and I'm all about knowledge. Knowledge is all I seek. I'm deeply passionate about theology, philosophy, history, literature, pure mathematics, astrology etc and will go to any depths to master these sciences and unravel age-old mysteries!
Loved reading this ❤️❤️ Knowledge is all!
I'M SO HAPPY I found your channel!! I'm new to this and you explain things so well. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for your comment and welcome to Tarot ❤️
16, so the tower, very much resonated! Even when I was little I would do random things just to entertain myself and see people’s reactions xD I would go from playing princess to playing shoot out cowboy and all of my family members would be so confused, I found it quite funny
If you reduce it down even further to a 7 (16 = 1+6) you are also the chariot. When something needs doing they roll up their sleeves and get the job done ❤
Waow! Mine is 9 - The Hermit. This is mind blowing because 9 has ALWAYS been my favorite number and the number I always am drawn towards.
That's good because it means you are already aware of your inner power ❤️
Me too!9
Same
7 it’s says chariot
I too got the hermit I love him
I'm so glad I found your channel. It makes it very approachable! I'm slowly making my way through the playlist. I can't wait to start practising. Thank you so much.
just wanted to add that I'm an empress and a hanged man too! which I learned from the comments, you are too.
@amirthakrish7065 hello fellow Empress ❤️
I'm very happy that you've found the channel too. There are no coincidences in our world and I'm glad to be a part of your tarot journey. It is obviously the right time for you ❤️
I recently came across a video of yours explaining how to do a tarot reading for yourself. Very informative my add, thank you! And then today came across this video, again very informative and again thank you!
After only watching 2 videos, I've not only become a fan I've also become a subscriber and follower!
Your videos are not only informative but are also very easy to understand, follow and learn from. Without leaving the viewer (speaking of myself. lol.) feeling completely confused, unsure, uncertain and or just absurdly, udderly and completely LOST within the explanation/dialogue/example of it all!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK! so very much for the time you take to make easy to understand, follow along with, and comprehend explanations and examplesd ways of understanding, reading and interpreting tarot cards!

Aw, my heart warmed whilst reading your comment, thank you. It's genuinely why I make them. I feel that we are modern day custodians of this beautiful and empowering knowledge and that it is my duty and honour to be able to share it with as many who are willing to listen, learn and empower their own lives, as possible. I am happy to share your tarot journey with you ❤️❤️
I have just come acrass your channel. It is so interesting. My cards are tge Wheel of Fortune and the Magician. I identify more with the Magician as I love exploring different philosophies and creating things. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment, and that 's a gorgeous combo, very lucky! The Wheel of Fortune is also seen as the card of Fate (what will be, will be) so that also explains your philosophical interest and The Magician is able to change any situation though tenacity alone, and using everything around them for a positive outcome. You will be unstoppable if you set your mind to something! ❤
i got 11. it fits me. i am into justice and intuitive as well as exposing the truth.
Hi there, intuitive truth seeker ❤️
I am glad that I learnt something, thank you
I’m a 3 also. With my birthdate, my name and my birth time.
Love this video and the way you have broken down the calculations are so easy to follow.
My tarot birth card is the hierophant card and that really describes my personality to a tee. I love reading and studying. I am always learning new things and am willing to share with others what i have learned. and I could be rigid to a fault at times. So when you begin describing the meaning of card number 5 I was like yep that's me lol. I can't wait to discover what my other family members tarot card is. This is quite interesting. 😁
I love the birth cards too, so insightful ❤️
Wow, I am learning a lot from your videos. Mine is 6, Lovers. ❤😊
Thank you for your video! It's always interesting and useful to watch you!
Ah, thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it ❤️
im so pleased to have discovered you at the beginning of my tarot journey. Such a generous gift you are giving us all. Thank you for all your tutorials 💜
You are so welcome and I'm delighted to see that you are progressing through the videos ❤️
Thank you for your amazing videos My husband and I are both 6 and are also both Librians - our tarot and sun signs are all Venus lover-ruled :)
That's amazing! A perfect match and a blessing too. The Lovers birth card needs their other half to achieve balance and harmony, without it they never feel quite complete but can't quite understand why. If they can't find it in a person it finds peace in a passionate pursuit if that makes sense ❤️
Thank you for this. Truly enlightening.
You are very welcome, I love the birth cards too ❤️
I'm only just learning to read tarot and I was reeling when I did my first reading today and it called out some very uncomfortable truths about myself I'd been avoiding 😅 So I decided to do this for a fun little game, since your videos were such an easy but informative way for me to dip my toes into tarot. I got Hanged Man, which really described my outward interactions with others to a tee but didn't feel *fully* right...then you talked about reducing double digits and I got Empress as well, and it felt like something truly clicked into place in my core. Never believed in tarot before now but uh...I think I'll have to pay attention to the cards from now on 😂
Lovely story to read, thank you for sharing. I am the same cards! Also, 3 is the trinity, divinity works within us, deeply intuitive ❤️
love the tutorials so interesting and informative, you make a great teacher
Thank you ❤❤
The odds that mine was the same card. So glad I found this channel. It’s been lovely learning.
I'm glad you found me too - fellow Empress ❤️
Thank you so much for making your videos, they are so informative and easy to understand. I am Justice and the High Priestess. 🤩✨☮️
I'm so pleased that you are enjoying them and more importantly that it makes sense. How lovely that you are the example I gave for 2 cards at the end of the video too. Spookily intuitive! 😉 ❤
Wow 🤩 that was really cool 😎 Thank you 😊

I really enjoyed this video. I'll be finding my own birth card now thank you.
You're welcome and I'm pleased you liked the video. It's fascinating ❤️
I've just found your channel, thank-you for sharing your knowledge. You got me enthused about reading again ❤
I'm very happy to read this and I wish you the very best of luck. It's a wonderful tool to have in your life ❤️
I'm a 6 (42 before reducing it to a single number) which is interesting because 1) I definitely see myself as a person with a deep love for life and every single thing that life touches, and 2) 42 is considered to be the answer to life and the universe by a very famous fiction author, and guess what, ever since I was a child I knew my purpose was to create stories that would inspire others and now I'm working on becoming an author myself! I'm an introvert and I can't fully express all the love I have inside of me, writing is the best way I know how. All of this can't be a coincidence (sorry if there's any typo or something, english isn't my first language)
What a lovely comment to read. 6's are our artists, writers, poets, lovers of life, passionate about nature, it all fits and you are in your perfect place as a writer. I wish you the very best of luck with your writing career and there is absolutely no such thing as a coincidence in this beautiful universe of ours ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK thank you so muchhh ❤
@thefreerocketman5777 Mine was 42 as well and I share all your same passions and traits!
Thank you! I'm "the lovers" card which corresponds well.

Thank you for this video and explaining! ✨🙏🏼
You are so welcome. Justice and High Priestess. You are both freedom fighters in one way or the other, very concerned with what is 'right/just and fair' and The High Priestess means you will smell a lie/deceit a mile off! Plus you will feel your way to the truth. I love this combination. Your intuition will always lead you to the right path as long as you manage to silence that inner chatter. High Priestess is so powerful! ❤️
After following I'm a 5 to The Hierophant
The teacher or eternal student. A lifetime of seeking and sharing knowledge ✨️ ❤️
You have a beautiful approach to Tarot, and I absolutely love your gentle way of approaching it. It's so touching and makes you feel nurtured and reassured; a wonderful and warm soul!
I have just started getting into Tarot and actually it was your Tarot tutorial playlist that helped me familiarize with the my first Smith-Waite Borderless Deck and understand the cards in a simple way for a beginner.
I can't thank you enough for this!
I wonder have you ever used the Light Seer's Tarot Deck or Angel cards as well?
I have ordered these and hope to grow in my knowledge as a Tarot reader and student of spiritual teachings.
Your words touched my heart, thank you so very much. Tarot is undoubtedly the love of my life, I'm grateful that it came into my life (it was a mess at the time) and it's my absolute honor to share it with you too. It's a lifelong journey and even now, after 30 plus years, I'm still discovering the odd little nugget of wisdom. I'm so glad that I've been able to be a part of yours. In answer to your question; the Light Seer's is a gorgeous deck, very popular and a personal favourite of mine. It's Rider-Waite based so it will be a straightforward transition if you prefer it visually. It has a 'bo-ho' feel to it, many beginners start with this deck. Let me know what you think when it arrives. Yes, I love Angel cards, I worked with the Angelic realm back in 2012 when I went through a spiritual ascension of sorts... Angels are there, ready and waiting to help us. I particularly love Raphael's healing energy. I use the Angel cards of Healing & Hope for the Tarotscopes at times as the Oracle card. I don't read with Angel cards because my go-to are the Tarot but I know some professional Angel card readers and that's all they use. Hope that helps? Maria ❤️
Hi Mariah, I just received my new decks. I received the Light Seer's Tarot deck and I also got the Archangel Michael Sword of Light Oracle deck. I already have the borderless Smith-Waite tarot, but I'm just asking have you any advice on how to connects with yer deck intuitively and how to shuffle best? Because I've been trying to connect with my Light Seer's deck and I know at the moment I haven't shuffled them the best yet because they still tend to come out as the cards you'd expect to come after. So I tried something funny. I tried individually from each suit to connect them one by one in number and the major arcana cards to come in between and shuffled, but yeah so far my new deck is taking time. If you've any shuffling and tips on connecting with tarot decks I'd greatly appreciate it. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but so far they don't feel shuffled right.@@TheTarotShopUK
@Jay-bi8vz two lovely decks. I'll make a video on this topic and post the link here for you. It's a good and regularly asked question. I've pulled out the light seers pocket deck to use in the video, which will add meaning for you I hope ❤️
Oh, that's so lovely, thank you so much! Please let me know when :) As always, greatly appreciate your wonderful teachings and touching approach to Tarot.@@TheTarotShopUK

wow i was calculating mine and im a #3 as well.. that’s probably why i drawn to it channel
Welcome fellow Empress ❤️❤️
Mine added up to 11 so I have two cards…Justice and High Priestess, it sounds like me too. I love to learn and I loathe injustice deeply. I do say, “that’s not right” and I do consider balance and fairness. Wow!
I love the birth cards, so insightful. You could always keep these two cards in a prominent place to remind you that you are powerful and connected to the divine too. ❤️
Lovely
Might have helped to say the number eash card then described ❤🎉
I may redo this video at some point in the future so I will definitely take this on board thank you. It's such a fun exercise too. I also won't use such a light coloured pen next time❤️
Thank you for your time in explaining this. It was like looking in the mirror. I was 5 and my wife 11. It was as you said.
You are so welcome. It's such a fun and enlightening exercise ❤️
Thank you very much 😘🤗 it helped me a lot ❤
You are very welcome ❤️
My birth date is 18.05.1994. If I counted it correctly it is 1. Magician! I felt it! I am creative and also really good at manifesting anything (if I believe strongly and do visualization meditation)!
Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
Yes, you are a Magician with your birthdate - it's good to hear that you are already stepping into your energy (manifesting) and your thoughts will always have power ❤️
Never mind you just answered my question
Thank you, I am 3 The Empress.
You are welcome my fellow Empress! ❤️
Wow I added mine to 36 which 3+6=9 and The Hermit is very accurate lol. I'm a classic enneagram 5w4. The hermit is very fitting.
I love this. I'm an Empress also! seems to be pretty dead on too.
Birth cards are such fun and so insightful, just explains so much about our purpose too I feel. The Empress creates, nurtures and see the beauty in life. ❤️
On the Chariot, what does the B and J mean on the columns? Great video you are a great teacher too!
They represent the two pillars at the entrance to the Temple of Solomon. B for Boaz (usually placed on the left side) symbolises strength or stability. J for Jachin (right side) symbolises establishment or wisdom. Together they represent balance and duality. ❤️
i got 12 so its the hanged man but if we would add them together it's 3 and I got the empress.
Yes, which makes you a creator. We always reduce to one single and the second card that falls below 21 is the way in which we do it. For example, you will create/give birth to an idea and do this in a Hanged Man way, which is to allow or surrender to the universe to make it happen ❤️
11 and 2 indeed.
So... My card is strength... Then I calculated my wife's card and her's is strength too! 😮 I tried to look up what the impact of that is and couldn't find anything... I am assuming that is why we are always struggling with each other and neither is giving up after 29years. 😢
@virtualhermit it means you have similar life paths, values and/or beliefs but you are essentially two lion tamers which means you are both very resilient ❤️
@TheTarotShopUK TY
I’m the Magician really resonates😊 😊
It's so interesting and once you know your card, it changes your perspective a little too!❤️
My daughter and I have the same cards, Temperance and The Hierophant
Now that's a match!! You will both be the eternal student and teacher! Lovely ❤️
Thanks for the video! I am the Chariot by birth date total. I was interested in birth number numerology many years back, so it's a bit of a haze :)) but I was wondering now watching this...would it be possible to say, ok, my total birth number is 7 (chariot) but do the numbers of the day, month, and year also highlight aspects of personality? In mine for example (12/11/1964) day would be 3, month 2, year 20 (and so also 2 )and maybe even 0? so my Charioteer overall might have aspects of empress, high priestess (twice) and judgement, possibly even the fool ?. Not sure if that's a valid thought or just an side track, or if it has any value. I was also wondering, would the numerological values of the name you are given at birth also have an influence? Many thanks!
Ah numerology, one of my favourite topics. I studied Chaldean for about 2 years, much preferring it over pythagoras (I never forgave him for ruining maths for me 🤪) In answer to your question, anything is possible but we tend to keep them separate. Numerology transfers the alphabet into its energetic notes and Tarot uses those numbers to give you a path. Probably because names can be changed. As a 7 (wisdom seeker) with chariot path, nothing will stop you in pursuit of this wisdom. You are also the tower (16 - 1+6) which means you will have an element of chaos about you, either able to deal with it without blinking (many run in the other direction) or it brings the best out in you. Also this year is a 7 (2023 2+2+3) year which may be significant for you. Fascinating topic isn't it ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK hello - and thank you so much for the information! Let's not even go there with maths - that's my run the other way trigger, haha. The Tower...that's a card that's been knocking - or should I say hammering - on my door lately :D The chaos thing makes so much sense. Numerology is fascinating!
Thank you so much for this!! Been trying to find ways to get this info since my tarot mentor alerted me about my birth card and here I was thinking you have to shuffle the major arcana cards 😂😂. My question is, for instance I am the magician meaning the number was reduced even further from 10 to 1. So in which instance do we not reduce further to a single digit and just stick to for instance, the wheel of fortune
Great question. I always keep it simple so as to not overcomplicate but you are BOTH the Magician and the Wheel of Fortune. The character is the Magician and the Wheel of Fortune is the energy. As you know the cards you'll understand that the Wheel of Fortune is the card of change and what do Magicians do - they change things, create something from nothing in effect. So you'll be a change maker, and this is when you will be at your most comfortable. Anything that restricts or ties you down will make you very uncomfortable unless it's your choice. Hope that makes sense ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK makes sense indeed. thank you for this response and all the work you put on here
Lovely lesson!! So the birth card would be to know in general what the person is like...? (I'm number V, Hierophant)
Hi, yes that's right, the single digit is the core nature but the double digit (14) is another layer to your nature. For example, I'm a 3 the Empress and a nurturer and I am also a 12 (the double digit equation) the Hermit and I like nurture in my own time, on my own terms and with ever such a tiny splash of the martyr. The double digit aspect adds a 3d element to us rather than a 2d flat picture. In summary, you are a 5 the Hierophant, curious wisdom seeker and sharer (it's all about knowledge) and you will do this is in a Temperance way with a balanced view and patiently. ❤️
I’m the Empress 💛✨
Me too 😉❤️
my number is 5 too ❤
Lovely card, to seek and share knowledge ❤️
Thank-you Maria ❤🏵️ ❤I Love your insights and explanations!🌹My nmbrs came out to be the High Priestess; interesting… I tend to get the High Priestess in my readings…. 😊 ❤
I always think it makes such sense... High Priestess and Tarot are a match made in heaven. Especially once you understand where it comes from and how it works. It's a journey of secrecy amd hidden knowledge through time ❤
@@TheTarotShopUK my birthdate 4+10+2004 =11
So what's my tarot or spiritual card
@@p-u-t-u-l You reduce to a single digit of 2 ; the High Priestess ❤
I got a 6 but I am totally the opposite of energetic and passionate. I have barely any enthusiasm for anything. 😕
Birth cards are tricky when we don't relate. Another aspect of the Lovers card is a passion for duality and balance ❤️
I have taken several tarot classes that have left me so confused. I have purchased many books on the tarot. Still confused. I want you to know you have cleared away much of this confusion. I may get out my cards to see if I am able to read what the cards are telling me. What do you do with your born energy card ? Where do you place it for reading? My number is 9. Since I lust discovered your videos, please let me say I do wish you still did private readings! Thank you so very much for these videos, I am really enjoying them!!!
Oh my, what a wonderful validation thank you. It's a personal mission of mine to make this beautiful art of Tarot available and accessible for many because this knowledge is our birthright. Tarot weaves a little spell on us all and I admire your tenacity that you kept at it! I'm delighted that I've been able to open that door if only a little for you. With the Hermit as your soul card you will be on a natural path to find that Inner Wisdom and Truth to the Meaning of Life, which is why you have tried to stay the course on your own. The Chaldean Numerology chart which predates Pythagoras has the number 9 as it's most holy and didn't even aware a letter to it. In summary, you are a seeker of the truth which will be wonderful for Tarot. When reading for yourself, you could use the Hermit as a significator which means you just place it on the table as card number 1 and the whole reading follows. The most effective use of the birth card is to understand the natural energy that flows within us and work with it rather than against it, because it is the air that we breathe! You are also the Moon (1+8 = 9) which makes you also mysterious and people will only see what you want them to see. I'm happy that you are enjoying the videos and welcome to the wonderful world of Tarot ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK Wow! Thank you so much for your reply. My expression number is 8 ( had forgotten what it was called, but searched around now to remember). I had very quick numbers reading years ago at a fair. That written reading part was filed away long ago in a cardboard box somewhere in the attic along with a bunch of astrology charts from my ancient youth. I will be 78 on this November 6th with a natal eighth house Scorpio sun, moon in the ninth house in Sagittarius, with Pisces rising. I know it all says I should be able to read cards or write a book or do some brilliant thing with four planets in air and no earth. No, I am not doing any of that. I put aside tarot, astrology, and classes/groups to open the third eye and got busy working to make a living to support myself and my two sons. I prayed to stop seeing spirits as I could not figure out what did it all really mean or provide value to me. Perhaps, now that I have so much time and you have inspired me to give it all a second look, I will. And do I have books on these subjects!! I will be viewing your videos and following along and see what awakens within me.Thank you for being such a great teacher!!! All the best to you!!
Thank you 💖 I am a 3 The Empress 💖
Me too 😘 and you are welcome ❤️
I will try this out. I have done it with playing cards, which was the 9 of Clubs, and that converted to the 9 of Wands (Wounded Warrior). So is it possible a person could have a Major and Minor Arcana card at their time of birth?
I've only ever used the Majors for birth cards but it's entirely possible that you could also resonate with a numerological equivalent as in your case. 9 is also the most sacred number in Chaldean numerology - the eternal spirit ❤️
Very insightful, gratitude! If a person was born between 12:00 midnight and 12:59 am during daylight savings time, could we run the numbers based on standard time which changes the birthdate?
As the date that daylight saving changes from year to year it makes astrological sense to me to use standard time because it is fixed. If this feels 'wrong' and 'unnatural' to you then use the DST instead. ❤️
This is quite interesting, I got the emperor even though I’m not much of a leader 😅 though I’ve noticed I have started taking charge of things when no one else wants to
This was just a simple explanation to keep it brief but the Emperor is so much more. They are responsible, considerate, caring, and organisational, with a tendency to take on too much. Emperors also take on the world, one battle at a time! Very practical and always concerned about the welfare of vulnerable citizens. Much like a true Emperor ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK thx for the input, I'm still learning tarot, it's nice to come across such things every once in a while ^^
Got the Emperor, too, and I was really confused bc I’m someone who would rather sit back & let other people take charge. Lol
So fascinating. Thanks for sharing, All the comments below are signifying 11 and 2. And I too am 11. Wow does this mean anything? 😂🙏
The universe works in mysterious ways.. You are amongst like minded souls ❤️ 2/11 - you are all secret wisdom seekers and are on your destined path. Whenever I see the Justice card in a reading I know that divinity is at work ❤️
Hello ! Thank you for sharing the knowledge with us - my number came out to be 7 - but i don't think it applies to me in any considerable way - is there a possible 2nd card for the number 7 ( my birthdate is 14/12/1988)? Thank you!
Hello, so a 7 is also a 16 (1+6=7) The Tower. Chariot soul purpose and Tower energy is a wonderful combination. At it's core the energy is 'be the change you want to see in the world' challenging ideas that no longer serve yourself or the collective. It's a revolutionary combination and not in an aggressive destructive way but in building something that will last. You can rely on the chariot to take on the task and get it done without question and the tower to build a solid foundation. In astrological terms its very similar to Mars and Taurus energy mix. It's reliable, solid and never dull! The 7 life number in Chaldean numerology is also the wisdom seeker and subsequent teacher which adds to the combination. The student usually becomes the teacher. It's powerful, strong, reliable and eternal.❤
Thank you so much for this video I absolutely loved it. Sorry I didn’t understand the last part! So I am a number 12 but I am not sure how is it made to the single double digit, do you mean I would also be 1 and 2? Or that I am also 3?
Yes, you add the 1 and 2 which makes you a 3 - the Empress ❤
@@TheTarotShopUK thank you so much!! ❤️
I got 22! Honestly, the emperor doesn't suit me at all but the High Priestess fits me perfectly. Interpreting it as an a High Priestess because of the double two would be fine too right?
If it doesn't feel right, there is a more dominant part of your character which could easily equate to the High Priestess. She wants to share the secret knowledge of the mysteries but only to those who will preserve and respect it. I also having a feeling that I have underplayed the Emperor in this video because you're not the first to say it doesn't connect. The Emperor is a leader, a fighter for the truth, justice and his people, he will right any wrongs and take on the world if it harms those he protects. He feels the responsibility and takes his duties very seriously. He can also be interpreted as a 'she' it's the energy of Boudica, Cleopatra. They are unforgettable and unstoppable, they protect, defend and take care of those who follow them, the original alpha ❤️
Hi @TheTarotShopUK , I tought since their are 22 major arcanas, but they stop at the 21th, we could consider the 22th card as a 0 (the Fool). What do you think ?
@yanmorin5321 yes, you could absolutely use the Fool as the 22nd card ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK yes, the fool card fits me so well! i think 22 could be considered as the fool too.
I am number 20, Judgement, I am confused as to what that personality would be
You reduce it down to one single digit 2 + 0 = 2, which is the High Priestess, a seeker and keeper of secrets, intuition, knowledge and because your double digit is less than 22 (number of cards in Major Arcana) you are also 20. High Priestess is your core and Judgement is your how. You will be the seeker and keeper by following your own path and through a series if resurrections, you have the ability to rise from the ashes and start again, like a phoenix. Hope that helps ❤
I hope my reply helped ❤
Which deck are you using? How would I purchase it
The Weiser Tarot Deck - it's available from my shop if you are in the UK the-tarot-shop.co.uk/product/weiser-tarot/ or US www.amazon.com/Weiser-Tarot-Classic-Waite-Smith-Guidebook/dp/1578637953 ❤️
Just ran across this. I'm only just beginning my Tarot journey, and I'm a 10. Or a 1 if I go single digit.
Welcome to the world of tarot. You are a Magician (1) at your core with the Wheel of Fortune (10) as your energetic cloak. An amazingly powerful combo when the mind and willpower line up! It's no wonder you have found tarot ❤️
May I know why some birth cards some in pairs? What’s the different between one birth card and pair? As the numbers are totally different?
@urtheappleofmyeye we always reduce to a single digit first which is our primary birth card (who we are) and the second card is the number before it was reduced to a single digit and is under the value of 21(the number of major Arcana cards) Example birth date reduces to 20 - card 1 is number 2 because 2 + 0 = 2 (one number only) and card 2 which is how we are (character) is 20, which is the first number before we reduce to a single number and it is our character. However, if the first double number is 23 for example, this would reduce to 5, but because it is greater than the number 21 (number of major Arcana cards) 23 cannot be used so we look at the number 5 to find its second card that adds up to '5' This is '14' because 1 + 4 = 5. So, this is how we do this so that we can discover our purpose (card 1) and energy/character type (card 2). Some say card 1 is our soul journey, and 2 is our nature. I hope that helps understand how and why we have 2 numbers ❤️
Hello and thank you, so how do you use this knowledge of your birth card please?
Good question. You embrace the energy that naturally flows within you. For example, my birth card is the Empress which means I have to keep topped up with creative projects (that's what Empress's do) and I need to nurture, to give and encourage growth. When you embrace your energy, life flows with you and for you, rather than against you. Hope that helps answer your question ❤️
Not sure how to feel about my cards being the Emporer and Death. 😮
Powerhouse combination! I would definitely want you in my corner. You are reliable, responsible and a survivor. The Death card literally means you can rise from the ashes, every time life knocks you, you'll dust yourself down after processing it and get on with it. The Emperor also means that your house will need be in order for you to focus, if not, there will need to be control. Chaos will seriously unnerve you. ❤️
I got wheel of fortune but I like routine and certainty so I'm confused
Routine is also a predictable pattern of continuity, moving forward in a regular steady pattern, much like a clock. Imagine tick tock, tick tock. So, in your sense, the routine is controlled change. The unexpected will alarm you, so change doesn't always have to be a bad thing but it is still forward movement. Does that help? ❤️
Wait how did you find the card . I see how you found the 5 but you counted cards randomly it looked. Do we go by the numerology on the card ?
Yes that's right. You find the card through its numerology on the card ❤️
i would like to say thank you so much for all your videos!! as a beginner i'm really enjoying them
Hi there, me too!! It's hard not to go deep on this one because it's a very deep combination. Firstly, the Hanged Man is one of life's 'givers', he is a martyr and sacrifices his own self for the greater good or a belief. He would prefer to watch and wait and will make a stand for a belief when provoked. So, that's the behaviour and the Empress is at the root of it all, the driving factor, the essence if who you really are; a mother, a caregiver, a nurturer and a life giver. The original Gaian energy. In simple terms you will give up a part of yourself for the Goddess energy of love. A humanitarian, animal or nature lover and you will believe passionately in creation. 3's in numerology are also the Trinity power which is psychic connection! Hope that helps and I'm very happy that the channel is providing some guidance. Welcome to your new journey into Tarot - it's a wonderful voyage toward empowerment ❤
Hello!" Thanks! Which tarot deck have you used please?
The Weiser Tarot, I love it and I'm using it quite regularly now ❤
@@TheTarotShopUK Thanks a bunch! :)
Hey, i got 15 which is Devil card and 1+5 is 6 which is lover card, i saw the meanings of card and i can resonate with both of them, but i am little bit confused too. How shall i interpret them?
Sorry that it's taken me a while to get back to you. Okay, so the single digit is the 6 which is the lovers and this is the core/root and purpose of your life. To love, bring harmony, create beauty, encourage passion and zest for life as well as be the one half of a whole, you are destined to be half of an equation; the other half will be a consuming connection, person or alternatively a mission/animals welfare that sort of thing. And you will action this out, behave in a Devilish way, charming, consuming, tempting, disorganised and distracted fashion. Hope that helps ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK thankyou soo much 🤍
Any reason you didn’t cover The Fool when explaining the cards! My birth calls came down to 1!😮
I don't cover the fool because it isn't possible to have '0' number 1 is the Magician ❤
@@TheTarotShopUK I Just realised, having now checked some previous notes, had a brain fart and thought I was seeing a number 2 on the magician. Ridiculous really as I so know the fool is 0! So sorry about that! My excuse is that I’m a senior citizen and suffering from a nasty cold virus!🤧….Honestly!. Love the channel by the way, Subscribed. So I’m the Magician! 🪄and the wheel of fortune?
I completely understand - my brain and my eyes often have challenging interactions. I'm glad you asked. You are a number 2 Magician which would make your first card before reduction an 11, which is the Justice card. Your character is concerned about what is just, right and truth or true and your nature is mastery, skill and magical. You will be able to conjur up the truth in a situation through skillful discussion. Put the two energies together; Magician ; masterful, powerful, creative, skillful and Justice; truth, justice, balance and duality. Hope that helps ❤️ PS. Sending you well wishes for a speedy recovery ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK Thankyou for the well wishes, very kind of you. My birth numbers actually came down to 10 which comes to 1, magician and 10 ? Wheel of fortune (I think you interpreted my 1 plus an exclamation mark in my comment as coming to 2 and 11?!😂
@@maxheadroom7687 😅 perfect example of the eyes brain example I quoted earlier 😊 yes, so a creator of your own destiny! Very curious about the unseen forces that control change ❤
I'm a 15 and 6 ,the devil and the lovers . I have two completely different sides.
6's are the best friends to have! The 6 (lovers) is the core/root and purpose of your life. To love, bring harmony, create beauty, encourage passion and zest for life as well as be the one half of a whole, you are destined to be half of an equation; the other half will be a consuming connection, person or alternatively a mission/animals welfare that sort of thing. And you will action this out, behave in a Devilish way, charming, consuming, tempting, disorganised and distracted fashion - Charm and Beauty - gorgeous combination, others will find it hard to say No to you! ❤️
So my Birthday is 19-5-1996 which equals to 40 which equals to 4. That would mean my card would be The Emperor, but this totally doesn't resonate with me. I would be more like The Empress (Which is the fourth card when counting The Fool) than anything else (yeah also the devil because I'm a master procrastinator But let that to the side).
Edit: 3 Is also a common number in my life. For most of my childhood and young adulthood while I still lived with my parents our house number was 3, I can remember 3 houses we lived in before moving out to a house with house number 3. At school I often unintentionally hung my jacket on the third hook. At my work I'm the third engineer. So I feel card 3 The Empress is more my card then my "birth Card".
This is the wonderful thing about Tarot, it's also an intuitive tool. If you feel more connected to '3' then that's also to do with your intuition. It certainly appears to figure in your life. I wonder if you were also 'destined' to be a 3. You may be what we would call a 'cusp'. If you had been born the day before you would have been arrived as a 3! So you'll have the energy of both. 3s are creators and 4s manifest, they turn the creation into a reality. It's super fascinating stuff! ❤️
My birth card is Strength and I am nothing like the description given. The opposite in fact.
Hi, they're just a keyword quick interpretation and Strength is such a multifaceted card. The main character uses gentle persuasion to tame the beast. It's a character that is persistent, tenacious, gentle, soothing, skilled and at one with nature ❤️
Ah, well that sounds a bit more like me, especially with nature. Thank you for the clarification😊
@tazminmoore455 No problem, it's one of my favourite birth cards, my daughter is an 8! Gentle as a lamb unless cornered and loves Mother Nature ❤️
I'm a 7 the chariot? my Last numbers were 43 so I reduce it to a 7?
Thank you for sharing - it's always good to hear that the cards have been on point ❤️
So my card adds up to 21, it shows two cards for that how do I decipher this
Your single digit card is 3 if you are a 21. So, you are an Empress with the World. The Empress (Card 3) represents creativity, abundance, and a nurturing energy. It highlights your ability to foster growth, whether in relationships, projects, or personal life. You’re someone who brings beauty and harmony into the world, nurturing others and helping things flourish. The World (Card 21) is all about fulfilment and coming full circle. It signifies completion and the joy of reaching the end of a meaningful journey. You have a natural gift for seeing things through, from the first spark of an idea to the moment of achievement.
Together, these cards suggest a life path where you bring things to life with your creative, nurturing energy and find deep satisfaction in seeing them come to completion. It’s a beautiful balance of starting and finishing, with joy and fulfilment in both - what I like to refer to as a starter-finisher with Mother Nature at the wheel. Hope that helps ❤️
Wheel of fortune 😊
And the Magician ❤️
Where did the 3 and 2 come from?
The total sum for the date of birth is 32, and you continue to reduce them down to a single digit, therefore 3 plus 2 = 5 ❤
I'm a bit confused by the difference in the method of calculating the birth card in your video compared to the method explained in the downloadable guide you provide... 🤔
I'm also confused. Which downloadable guide is this? It's been a while. 😉 Essentially, add up all of the numbers for your date of birth to arrive at a single digit for your birth card. Keep adding until you reach one single digit. Does that help? ❤
@@TheTarotShopUK The guide in your description box.
@@DanielDeRudder I had completely forgotten that I'd attached that one. To be honest, you can do it both ways and you will end up with the same number, add the single numbers as I suggest in the video or add double number as I suggest in the pdf. It still equates to the same number, either/or. I use the single numbers because my maths is appalling but if I can grab a calculator I will use the double. I hope that makes sense ❤
@@TheTarotShopUK Thank you ! 😊
add it in your head dear. you can do it. you honestly do not need the calculator.
Make me chuckle - I'm much better than I used to be 😂❤
5 hierophant here here 💙
Always looking for wisdom in the situation ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK that’s true . 💜
I got 29 which would equal 11 and 2 right ?
yes that's right ❤️
hi maria this is brillant but am as thick as two sort planks when it come to maths so i did
24 5 1963 exsample
+2+4+5+1+9+6+3 = 30
+ 3 = 3 as i cant put the 0 in is this correct i got the Empress is that right many thanks dawn
Hi Dawn, yes, 100% correct. You are the Empress. You are Gaia and Mother Nature in her truest form. Powerful and uncompromising when you defend your tribe. I don't want to over complicate it but you are also Hanged Man (1+2=3) which means you are able to withdraw from the world's chaos to find the answers within and connect to a greater cause/power. ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK thank you so much but forgive me i dont get the Hangman bit how did you work that out 1+2 = 3 out of what the only 3 i get is the 1963 so the number 3 on the end of year means ?
@@dawnallen6551 The second number is obtained by taking your single digit number and finding the double digit from the Major Arcana cards. There are only 21 numbers or Major Arcana cards to equate to). For example, yours is 12 because 1 and 2 add up to 3 and 12 (and it's a number under 21 possibilities). Another one would be 5, so 1 plus 4 = 5 so the second number is 14, (it's under 21, your could have 3 = 2 because 32 is more than 21), 7 would be 1 + 6, 16 because it's under 21, you couldn't have 2 + 5 because 25 is greater than 21. Does that make sense? It is quite complicated and to be honest you can function perfectly well as your single birth number ❤
Thanks Maria ill get around it lol some how when I work it out but thank you be safe 😊
@@TheTarotShopUK i see thank you so much so helpfull stay safe
Can 21 also be a 3? I definitely see myself as The Empress more than The World x
Absolutely, you reduce to a single number first and that's who you are, the double digit is how you do it . Hope that helps❤️
I got 20 so is my card the 20th card or 2nd card
Both, the 2 is the primary card and the 20 is the secondary ❤
if you get anything under 21 do you still need to go down to 1 digit or is better to have it as 2 digits?
Use both, the single digit is your core tarot card and the double digit is your essence. They blend together ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUK So i get only "The Chariot". My wife gets "The wheel of Fortune and the Magician" and my son gets "the Devil and the lovers". Definitley an interesting combination.
Using this system it is impossible to arrive at 0, the fool. There must be a reason for this. I think this is because the fool is the one journeying through all the other cards which represent the entire human experience, and that we are all represented by the fool because we are all on a journey through life.
Yes, you are absolutely correct. When we journey through the Tarot to learn the cards it's often referred to as "The Fool's Journey", the first 7 cards (starting with the Fool full of blind faith) give us experiences as a novice, the next 7 we learn to master our experiences and the final seven we move into the celestial connections, our spiritual journey. ❤️
My number is 10 so the Wheel of Fortune is mine
And the wonderful Magician - Number 1 ❤️
I wish you'd used a blue or black pen. Red ink is not so visible.
I agree. Unfortunately I grabbed the first pen I could see. But hopefully you can understand what I'm saying ❤️
@@TheTarotShopUKI did. I hope you didn't mind the comment, though. My number (following your formula) is 8.
@@landang7906 Of course I didn't mind, you were quite right, I think I even commented that it wasn't a particularly good choice of pen colour. Ah, so you are an 8 (Strength) plus a 17 - 1+7=8 (The Star) Your core nature is 8 (inner you) and 17 is how others will see you. Dreamy, directional, celestial, angelic, connected, spiritual and your core is gentle but firm. ❤
@@TheTarotShopUK Thank you so much. I've been following your post old and new to get the hang of it. Your explanations are to the point, very easy to get even for a slow learner like me. 🥰
If your number comes out as 10, could it also be 1?
@amandabucci2777 100%. We always reduce to a single digit first. So your primary is 1 the magician and 10 the Wheel is how you achieve this. You are a manifestor first, and you grow in power with each cycle of life ❤️
Im confused, so if your birthday is 5th October 1992, do you do 05+ 10 + 19 +92, or do you do 5+1+1+9+9+2
However you calculate the numbers they will arrive at a single digit of 9. So you birth cards are 9 and 18 ❤
My birth card is Death. I'm not even surprised.
That's a fabulous card because you add the double digits together to make you the Emperor. Your home is your castle and with the death card you will thrive whatever life throws at you. A survivor who builds their own empire ❤
@@TheTarotShopUK That's interesting because my natal charts and numerology also have themes of empire building and kingship.
What it's the card if the final number is 0???
I believe that's possible. Numbers can never reduce to zero. Sadly, the Fool is never represented ❤️
I am a number 5
I was a bit disappointed about being a 4 because the emperor is just a leader and apparently not very interesting 🤷
The Emperor is so much more than that - he is responsible, caring for his family, reliable, a problem solver and a leader. The Emperor is the first in line to protect his people and will do anything to defend their beliefs, philosophies and way of life. As a woman think of Boudica, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Florence Nightingale, Mary Magdalen, Queens, Warriors and then you can truly step into and own that energy. It's phenomenal ❤
