As we journey through life, many of us feel a deep, inner calling to understand our unique purpose. This purpose, or “soul purpose,” can feel elusive. It’s often a mix of what we’re passionate about, our hidden talents, and the lessons we’re meant to learn. Tarot and numerology are powerful tools that provide clarity on this journey, illuminating the path toward understanding and fulfilling our soul’s true purpose.
Our soul purpose is the reason we are here—our life’s mission. It reflects the qualities we are meant to embody, the skills we are meant to use, and the impact we are meant to have on the world. Discovering your soul purpose isn’t about adopting a specific career path; rather, it’s about understanding the unique energy you bring to every aspect of your life, from relationships to work, and using it to fulfill a greater calling.
Tarot is more than a tool for guidance; it’s a mirror to our deeper self, illuminating our true purpose and core characteristics. By identifying your Soul Card and Personality Card through Tarot and Numerology, you can uncover the unique energies you carry and the role they play in your life journey.
These cards are both derived from your birthdate, with each card offering insight into different aspects of your soul’s journey.
Understanding the Difference: Soul Card vs. Personality Card
Both cards are calculated from your birth date. Let’s go through a sample calculation to clarify:
For example: March 14, 1992
For this example: 3 + 14 + 1992
Break it down further: 3 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 29
Here, 29 reduces further by adding 2 + 9 = 11.
So, in this example, 11 (Justice) would be the Personality Card.
4. Find the Soul Card:
If the sum before the reduction (in this case, 29) is between 10 and 22, it often serves as the Soul Card directly.
o In this case 29 further reduced to 11 (Justice Card) is the personality card.
o 11 further reduced to 2 (1+1) which is the High Priestess Card is your Soul Card.
However, if your initial sum is greater than 22 (e.g., 26), you reduce it to get a number between 1 and 9, which would be your Soul Card. For instance, if your initial calculation resulted in 33, it reduces to 3 + 3 = 6, making 6 (The Lovers) your Soul Card.
Note: In case, you get three cards after reducing your date of birth like 19 to 10 to 1, all the three cards operate as both personality and soul cards.
The Shadow Card represents the hidden or “shadow” side of your personality, often the challenges, unexpressed desires, or qualities that may be unconscious or underdeveloped.
To find it:
Let’s try a different birth date for clarity:
8 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 4 = 35
35 reduces to 3 + 5 = 8
Personality Card: 8 (Strength)
Soul Card: Since 35 reduces directly to 8, 8 (Strength) is also the Soul Card.
Summary of Each Card’s Role
Each card offers unique insights into the facets of your personality and soul’s journey, helping you understand how to balance your strengths with your shadow aspects for a more fulfilled life.
Each Major Arcana card reflects an archetypal energy. Here’s a guide to the essence and purpose of each card as a Soul Card or Personality Card.
Identifying your Soul and Personality Tarot Cards provides an invaluable lens into your purpose, traits, and areas of growth. Each card reveals another layer of who you are and who you are meant to become, guiding you to a life that’s more aligned with your true self. Explore these insights with an open heart, and let tarot and numerology guide you on this profound journey of self-discovery.
