How Birth Arcana works

The birth arcana is the sum of every decimal digit of the day, the month, and the year. If the total is above 22, the digits of that total are added again until the value is 1 through 22. The number 22 is kept as 22 and is The Fool in the Marseille order used here. Example: 13 February 1960 is 1+3 + 2 + 1+9+6+0 = 22, The Fool.

This number is not matrix point A. Point A of the destiny matrix is the day reduced on its own; the birth arcana always uses the digits of the full date.

The result is symbolic and cultural, for reflection only. It is not a diagnosis, a prediction, or a substitute for professional advice.
