Alright, let’s talk about this “tarot card of the year” thing I tried out. I’ve always been a little curious about tarot, you know, how it works and all. So, I decided to give it a shot and see what this yearly card pull is all about. It’s supposed to give you a kind of theme or focus for the year ahead. Sounds interesting, right?
First, I needed to figure out how to do it. I did a quick search online and found a bunch of methods. Some were super complicated, but I found one that seemed pretty straightforward. It involved adding up the numbers of your birth date and the current year, and then reducing that number down to a single digit or one of the “master numbers” (11, 22, 33). That number corresponds to a specific tarot card.
So, I grabbed a pen and paper and started doing the math. My birthday is July 15th, 1990, so that’s 7 (for July), 15, and 1990. The year we’re looking at is 2024. I added all those numbers together, and then added the individual digits of the result until I got a single number. It’s a bit of a process, but not too bad.
Here’s how it broke down for me:
- 7 + 15 + 1990 + 2024 = 4036
- 4 + 0 + 3 + 6 = 13
- 1 + 3 = 4
Okay, so the number I ended up with was 4. Now, I had to find out which tarot card that corresponds to. I went back to the website I was using, and it said that the number 4 represents “The Emperor” card.
I looked up “The Emperor” card to see what it’s all about. Apparently, it’s associated with things like authority, structure, stability, and taking action. It’s about being in control and making things happen. Hmm, interesting. It made me think about how I could apply that to my own life in the coming year. Maybe I should focus on being more organized and disciplined, or maybe take on more leadership roles.
It’s kind of cool to have this one card as a focal point for the year. It’s like having a little reminder of what I should be aiming for or what kind of energy I should be channeling. I mean it is all fun and games, but there’s no harm in looking for guidance and inspiration wherever you can find it, right? Whether or not you believe in the power of tarot, it’s a fun little exercise to try. It definitely got me thinking about my goals and what I want to achieve in the coming year. Maybe I’ll check in throughout the year and see how “The Emperor” is playing out in my life.
I decided to document the whole process. I wrote down my calculations, what card I got, and what I thought it meant. I also jotted down some initial thoughts on how I might apply this to my year. I might even start a little journal to track my progress and see if this “Emperor” energy really does make a difference. It’ll be a fun little experiment, if nothing else!
