How to calculate your Birth Tarot Card.

Firstly, break your birth date down into 4 digits.

Example: 18/10/1997 - 18 + 10 + 19 + 97 = 144.

14 + 4 = 18 - The Moon.

1 + 8 = 9 - The Hermit.

An exception may be that the equation ends in 19 meaning you will get a total of 3 cards. This is because 1 + 9 = 10, and 1 + 0 = 1, effectively making your cards The Sun, The Wheel and The Magician.

Mage: the Ascension TAROT ... & 'The Mage' Card.

Is a Mage: the Ascension TAROT a real TAROT ?

... i don't see why not.

Even if whole deck seems a bit 'unusual', it has Major Arcana & Minor Arcana, Swords, Cups, Pentacles & Wands.

Each of the cards is a symbol, details & meanings are available in a booklet as well.




Here's an example of 'The Mage' Card from M:tA TAROT:

I - The Mage. Meaning: Will. Communication, Inherent Ability, Memory, Clarity of thought and feeling, Organization, Invention, Originality. Reversed: Weakness, Indecision. Association: Virtual Adepts -- 'What is will but the projection of energy into the world of matter?' With an act of conscious thought, Dante grasps the wand of Prime, closing the link between the energy that gives him the power of magic and the tools that lie before him on the table of the world. The building blocks of his desires — the Primordial, Questing, Dynamic and Pattern Essences — contain within them the remaining eight Spheres of magic; The key to knowledge unlocks them all. The infinite hovers, crown-like, above him. Reality, virtual or otherwise, belongs to him.

Queen of Pentacles, The Card.

Suit of Pentacles (Coins).

In occult and divinatory usage the suit of Pentacles is connected with the classical element of Earth, the physical body and possessions or wealth.

Pentacle is also a Powerful Protection symbol.


The Queen of Pentacles.

The Queen of Coins is described as 'Sensual and earthy, she enjoys abundance in many areas of her life. A lover of luxury, she is quick to share her wealth'.

The Queen of Pentacles can indicate fertility or a pregnancy.

Like all court cards, the Queen of Coins is commonly interpreted to refer to a person playing some role in the life of the questioner; although it may represent the inquirer.

Queens are said to represent mother figures and adult women, or young women mature for their years; women of knowledge and wisdom.

She can also be a business woman, a patron of the arts, a provider, or one that works hard for material success.

She is a maternal, nurturing, down-to-earth person, who is concerned with the welfare of others, especially those she cares for.

The interpreted physical characteristics of the suit of coins include dark hair and eyes, dark complexions and sturdy build.

In the Reversed aspect, this Queen neglects her responsibilities, keeping up appearances regardless of circumstances.


Of the Mountain.

Associated with the Element of Earth, the Queen of Pentacles is also a power within us that carries us to 'the heights of living', where the heavens meet with earth, where spirit meets matter, where hard reality meets freedom.

Ace of Hearts, The Card.

Suit of Cups (Chalices).

... the suit of cups or suit of goblets is one of the four suits of latin-suited playing cards. these are used in spain ("copas"), italy ("coppe") and in TAROT. the suit of hearts is derived from the suit of cups.

these are sometimes referred to as chalices as well as cups.

(... still a unfinished article, will write more as soon as i can).

Queen of Cups, The Card.

Richness of Feelings.

When we meet with richness of feelings, we often think that we had too much ... or that our soul was changing too often to enjoy, to form beneficial relationships with ourselves & with others.

Often this is not the truth, for generosity in feelings helps to see the natural limits of our empathy, where our individuity ends ... & where other people's territory is.

After seeing these limits, cup closes itself & we can start building relationships where both our personal distances, as well as shared thoughts & feelings can be experienced.


Need for spiritual wholeness.

On card we can see seemingly-contradiction: a closed cup & whole, solid throne representing both solid-wholeness & openess of the soul.

There's the message to not be too soft nor too hard, to be able to both open oneself & to see the limits of everyone involved.

If one succeeds in this, the one can feel as whole, is well tuned & solid ... can have good mood & can speak as one even when representing many.

Ace of Swords, The Card.

Spiritual & Material, Absolute & Relative.

Spirit reaches it's Prime, reaches it's full potential once it's free of relativity, once it heads towards Absolute.

There's the risk of losing roots, of alienation from relatives, of alienation from one's past.

Once joined however, absolute & relative, spiritual & material ... fruits of spiritual pursuit are within reach.


Spritual Weapon & Awareness.

The Crown, The Prize of Spiritual Way is Awareness.

Sword is the double-edged weapon, it protects as well as harms, both our enemies & us, etc ...

Awareness is shown on the Card, as closed circle, as the Crown that holds double-edges of the Sword within, of the Spiritual Weapon.

Mastery is Awareness, of how every move Protects, as well as how it harms & who.

i think that skillful, wise & compassionate moves Protect powerfully, while Harming the least.


Spiritual Weapon.

What truly is Spiritual Weapon, represented by Swords of TAROT?

i think it's both Knowledge of Absolute Truth, as well as the ability to Express, the ability to Speak.

There's accomplishment & reputation as well.

As one Criticizes certain type of behavior, preferably not aimed at someone specific, certain beings gain in Meaning, others are losing Meaning however.

Consequences of using Spiritual Weapon are either better or worse Karma, not neccessarily seen immediately.

i read that seeing this the Card, one should prepare & increase hers or his awareness to benefit fully of it.


Increasing Awareness.

how to do this?

... perhaps by aiming to be closer to Absolute, to learn what's needed at the given moment & learn the Way.

The Magician Card.

'Magic is when something occurs despite' (Suzanne Weymann).

There's Magic that is true, Really Occuring, Independent, Indivisible.

There's Magic that is not a fantasy.

The Number of 'The Magician' Card, of 1, is Indivisible.

'Indivisible' in Latin is 'Individuum'.

Flashy heroes & villains described in films, wielding flashy supernatural powers are without meaning.

It's about discovering a Real Magic, Supernatural Strength that Everyone can Wield.

Everyone has a Chance to Notice & Use that a Chance ...

... i think it is a Matter of Sensivity & Perceptions, a Matter of being Trained in Noticing Magic & Using it Properly as it Shows before us.

Mages are Individual, but groups of Individuals are a Community, in a way at least ...

No one can give, nor take away Magical Strength from us, Magical Strength appears in us by itself.

-- Quoted & Translated from the book 'TAROT dla początkujących' by Evelin Bürger, Johannes Fiebig.

The Sage Card.

The Sage hold the Lantern, it's used to return world to 'prime state', to better the world, to heal the world, to defeat Shadows (inner fears) of the Past, Now & Future.

Each of being brings something to the world, without them this would not exist.

Transforming inconsistences, in and outside us, the light becomes stronger.

It's not escape nor innocence that bring us Sage's Power, it's fulfilling one's tasks, solving our issues ... without hiding anything 'under carpet', that does so.

-- Quoted & Translated from the book 'TAROT dla początkujących' by Evelin Bürger, Johannes Fiebig.

The Jester Card.

It's 'all or nothing' card:
- Zero is nothing, but also a center point of a coordinate system,
- 'Pan' in Greek means 'everything'.

This card signifies courage with regard to one's own way, even if stakes are very low or very high, when we act without assecuration, or despite Pan-ic.

'The Jester' represents state where one is happy despite lack of desires.

Perhaps fulfilling wishes & removing fears is the task of the day.

-- Quoted & Translated from the book 'TAROT dla początkujących' by Evelin Bürger, Johannes Fiebig.

The Moon Card.

'The Moon points at collective unconsciousness, "oceaninc feelings". it invokes hidden emotions as Cancer, ancient feelings & instincts as Scarab, Sun from the deep water (in Crowley's Tarot). Challenge is to not identify with, & to not be absorbed in these feelings too much. This card brings courage as well.'

-- Quoted & Translated from the book 'TAROT dla początkujących' by Evelin Bürger, Johannes Fiebig.

The Sun Card.

-- Quoted & Translated from the book 'TAROT dla początkujących' by Evelin Bürger, Johannes Fiebig.

Death Card.

-- Quoted & Translated from the book 'TAROT dla początkujących' by Evelin Bürger, Johannes Fiebig.
