Nearing the end of the year, we often reflect on how far we’ve come and look forward to where we are going. Tarot cards are one tool I like to use to figure out what might be in store for next year. To figure out your card for this year is pretty simple.
Take your birthday day and month and the current year. Add them all together. For example, if your birthday is October 12 and the current year is 2025, you would complete the following equation: 10 + 12 + 2026 = 2048.
Then you add all the digits together: 2 + 0 + 4 + 8 = 14.
In this example you would stop there – your tarot card for 2024 would be card 14 or the temperance card. If you get an answer greater than 21, then add the digits again until you get a number between 1 and 21. Once you find your answer, read below for more about what you can look forward to for the year.
