Okay, so, I’ve been seeing this thing about figuring out your personal “Tarot Card of the Year” for 2024. Seems kinda cool, so I thought I’d give it a shot and walk you through what I did. It’s like a fun little project, and hey, maybe it’ll give us some insight into the year, who knows?
First off, I had to get my calculator out, which, let’s be honest, I haven’t touched in ages. The idea is to add up the numbers of your birthday with the numbers of the current year. My birthday’s on July 25th, so that’s 7/25, right? And we’re looking at 2024. So, I punched in 7 + 2 + 5 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 4. Ended up with 22.
Now, here’s where it got a bit tricky. You gotta reduce this number down to a single digit, unless it’s an 11 or 22. Those are special, apparently. Since mine was 22, I got to keep it as is. Lucky me, huh?
Next, I had to match my number with a Tarot card. I don’t know much about Tarot, but from what I gathered, each number from 1 to 9, plus 11 and 22, corresponds to a card in what they call the “Major Arcana.” I looked up a list online, and guess what? 22 is “The Fool.”
I gotta say, I was a bit bummed at first. “The Fool”? Really? But then I read up on it. It’s not about being silly or dumb. It’s more about new beginnings, taking leaps, and having faith in the universe. It’s about stepping into the unknown with optimism and a sense of adventure. And you know what? That actually kinda resonates with me right now.
Here’s a little breakdown of what I did:
- Added up my birth month and day with the current year: 7 + 2 + 5 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 22.
- Kept it as 22 because that’s a “master number” or something.
- Matched it to a Tarot card: 22 is “The Fool.”
- Read up on “The Fool” card: It’s about new beginnings and adventures.
What I Think
So, yeah, I’m “The Fool” for 2024. But I’m choosing to see it as a good thing. Maybe this year will be about taking some risks and trying new things. Who knows where they’ll lead? It’s kinda exciting when you think about it. I’m curious, has anyone else done this? What card did you get, and what do you think it means for you?
