How the birth card is calculated

  1. Add your birth month, day and year as numbers. For July 15, 1990: 7 + 15 + 1990 = 2012.
  2. Add the digits of the total: 2 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 5. Keep adding the digits until the number is 22 or less.
  3. Match the number to the Major Arcana. 5 is The Hierophant. A total of 22 is The Fool, card 0.
