Well, well, well, let me tell you somethin’ about this birthday tarot thing. Sounds like a bunch of hooey, but young folks these days, they into all sorts of things. So, I heard about this thing, you know, using your birthday to find out your, uh, fortune or somethin’. It’s like them cards they use, tarot cards, I think they call ’em.
So, this thing, it’s got somethin’ to do with numbers. Your birthday numbers, ya see. You gotta add ’em up or somethin’. Like, if you was born on, say, uh, March 12, 1990, you add them numbers. 3, 1, 2, then 1, 9, 9, 0. I ain’t no mathematician, but that’s a lot of numbers. Then you get some big number, and you gotta make it smaller. Like, uh, you add them numbers in the big number together till it’s, you know, small. Like, uh, 25 becomes 2 plus 5, that is 7. Number 7.
They say each number means somethin’. Like, uh, there’s this card called, uh, The Chariot. Yeah, that’s it. If you get number 7, you’re The Chariot. What’s a chariot? Sounds like a fancy wagon. Maybe it means you’re gonna go places. Or maybe it means you like horses. I don’t know, like I said before, I ain’t no expert on this birthday tarot stuff.
Now, if you wanna figure out this tarot card thing for this year, you gotta use this year’s number. So, you take your birthday, the month and the day, and then you add this year’s number, 2024. That’s a big one, 2024. Lotta addin’ there. It’s for knowing what the year’s gonna be like. This birthday tarot, it’s like readin’ tea leaves, I reckon. Only with numbers and cards instead of tea.
This whole birthday tarot thing is kinda like a game, I guess. People like games. This one, you don’t need no fancy board or dice, just your birthday and a piece of paper to do all that addin’. I reckon it’s a way to think about yourself, what kind of person you are and what things you gonna do.
- You take your birth month number.
- And your birth day number.
- Then you add the year number, this year is 2024.
- Keep addin’ them numbers till you get a little one, under 23.
- Then you find out what card that number means.
I heard them say there’s, like, 22 of them tarot cards. That’s a lot of cards. Each one’s got a picture and a name, like that Chariot one. There is another, The Fool. He looks, well, kinda foolish. There’s probably the best card in them birthday tarot things. But they say, you get what you get. And that number, that card, it’s supposed to tell you somethin’ about yourself. Your destiny, they call it. Sounds kinda serious for a card game, don’t it?
Now, some folks, they take this birthday tarot stuff real serious. They think it’s, like, magic or somethin’. They say them numbers and cards, they got a connection. Like, the universe is talkin’ to you through your birthday. I don’t know about all that. Seems a bit much to me. But, hey, if it makes ’em happy, who am I to say otherwise?
They even say that if you add up your birthday a certain way, you get a number that tells you about your personality. Your personality is the way you act, the things you like, that sort of stuff. So, if you’re a number 5, maybe you’re, I don’t know, adventurous. Like you like to try new things, go to new places. Like that Chariot card, maybe you like goin’ places. Or you can have a try at this birthday tarot, and find out your personality.
I remember one time, my neighbor, she tried this birthday tarot thing. She got some card, I forget which one, but she was all excited. Said it meant she was gonna find true love. Well, she’s still lookin’. So, maybe it don’t work all the time. Or maybe she just ain’t addin’ them numbers right. It’s easy to make a mistake when you’re doin’ all that math.
It’s all about knowin’ yourself, I guess. Like lookin’ in a mirror, only the mirror is made of numbers and cards. Sounds kinda silly when I say it like that, don’t it? But I reckon folks been tryin’ to figure themselves out since, well, since forever. Used to be they’d look at the stars, or read them tea leaves, like I said. Now it’s birthday tarot. Who knows what they’ll come up with next?
Anyway, that’s all I know about this birthday tarot business. If you wanna try it, go ahead. Just remember, it’s all a bit of fun, I think. Don’t go bettin’ the farm on what them cards tell ya. You make your own destiny, I always say. Numbers and cards, they can’t tell you what to do. Only you can decide that. But if this birthday tarot can make you think, well, that ain’t a bad thing, is it?
