First I will show you how to calculate it, and then what each card means for your year.
How to Calculate Your Card
Its actually pretty simple to calculate which major arcana card will be yours for the year. Take the digits of your birth month and day and add them to the current year. For example, my birthday is August 15, so I would add
8+1+5+2+0+2+1 = 19
Card number 19 in the majors is the Sun, so that is my Tarot card for 2021.
Any result that is over 22 you will have to reduce further. For example if your birthday is September 29
9+2+9+2+0+2+1 = 23
As this is over 22 you would add
2+3=5
So your Tarot card would the Heirophant, which is number 5 in the major arcana.
Please note that you are never going to get 1 (Magician) or 2 (the High Priestess) as a result so I’ve included them in other cards whose digits reduce to the numbers 1 or 2 when added together. You will also never get 0 as a result either, so we assign the Fool to number 22.
Card Meanings for Your Year
3 the Empress - A year of abundance,creativity and fertility. It’s a great year to have a baby, get a pet, or start a creative project or a business. The danger of this year is either taking for granted the abundance that is coming your way, or in spending so much time nurturing others that you forget to care for yourself.
4 the Emperor - A year of taking control, getting organized and taking a leadership position. You are taking command of your life and taking your power back. The shadow side is trying to control others instead of focusing on your own life.
5 the Hierophant - This is not a year to rock the boat or go against traditions. This is a time to learn from those that have gone before, from institutions and the more experienced. The shadow side is going along with convention just for the sake of it, or rebelling thoughtlessly.
6 the Lovers - A year of following the heart over the head. Choices will be presented to you and romance has the potential to flourish. The challenge is to take others into consideration when making decisions and not to avoid making difficult choices.
7 the Chariot - Determination and focus are the themes this year. You can get a lot done in a Chariot year, and may even travel. Avoid being so hyper focused on a goal that you neglect other aspects of your life.
8 Strength - This can be a challenging year as it asks you to settle in for the long haul. Consistent gentle effort over time will yield better results than trying to force things. It’s a year that can test you and exhaust you so get lots of rest and practice self care.
9 the Hermit - This is a year to turn inward. Don’t worry about what others think, you need to consult your own soul. It’s a quiet year of inner growth. The challenge is it can be lonely so make sure you reach out to others.
10 the Wheel of Fortune (1 Magician) - A year of change and good luck. Opportunities come your way but you have to act on them. The danger is to let them pass or to think you are not ready for it and procrastinate. You are so ready for this!
11 Justice (2 High Priestess) - This is another year of decisions but one where you must balance your head and your gut. You must make choices that take fairness and justice into account. Legal issues can arise sometimes. The down side is losing your balance and forgetting either your rational or intuitive faculties.
12 Hanged Man - A year of waiting where not much seems to happen. You are being asked to look at things from a different perspective and develop patience. You may have to make sacrifices now for something greater in the future.
13 Death - Loss can be a theme during a 13 year, but also transformation. This is a year of letting go and discarding the old and unworkable to make way for new and better things. It is not the easiest year but it is a profound one.
14 Temperance - If you are coming out of a 13 year, this one is a blessing. Emotional balance is restored and you learn how to integrate the changes of the previous year. You may feel divinely inspired and guided. While it’s not the most active year, it is a more positive one.
15 the Devil - You are asked to examine addictions, manipulation and any areas of your life where you don’t feel in control. You are forced to confront your limitations, which is never fun, but offers you an opportunity to get real about your circumstances and potentially break free.
16 the Tower - Upheaval and change come this year whether you like it or not. If you haven’t done the work of the previous year, you might get the rug pulled out from under you. Anything on a shaky foundation will fall. But you may also receive life changing inspiration or insights. Be open to change.
17 The Star - A year of hope and optimism. Good news comes and there is hope for a better tomorrow. It’s a great year to make plans and set goals for the long term future. Also a good one for making connections and expanding your social life.
18 the Moon - Uncertainty is the theme this year. You can’t see where you are going so you have to just put one foot in front of the other. Use your intuition as it is quite sharp. Any mental or emotional issues can be more active so practice good self care.
19 the Sun - A year of joy, optimism and renewed faith in yourself and the world. This can be a year of big successes, or a time of rest (or even both). Don’t waste any opportunities that may come your way this year. Soak up the good vibes.
20 Judgement - It’s time to answer the call of your heart. The Universe is pushing you to grow, so don’t resist the changes it is bringing. It’s time to step up and meet the challenge. You’ll be glad you did.
21 the World - You are at the end of a big cycle in your life. World years can be times where we graduate, or retire or move away. But they can also just be a time of internal shifting and growing. Look back on all you’ve accomplished with pride.
22 the Fool - Its a brand new start! Time to take a leap of faith and go for it! It’s a great year to start a business, apply for the dream job or move to the other side of the world. Or you can just change up your look, or outlook on life. Anything is possible this year.
This year is a Sun year for me so I’m looking forward to a more optimistic and energizing year after the uncertainty of 2020 which was a Moon year for me. What is your card for 2021? I’d love to hear your thoughts on the coming energies for you.
