You can calculate cards associated with your birthday by adding the date together and then reducing the number to a single digit.

Personality Card

This card represents both personality characteristics that are a core part of a given lifetime and lessons that are learned early in life. These are the signposts on life’s journey. How you express yourself in the outer world. This card represents your talents, gifts, and resources. How others see you.

Hidden Factor Card

The Hidden Factor card is a card that is connected to the birthday but the number is not part of the reduction. Not all constellations have a Hidden Factor Card, some constellations have only one, and some have two. As a shadow, this card can represent aspects of a personality that are feared or rejected, unseen or we might project these qualities on to other people. This card can be a challenge in the early years of life. As a teacher, this card can represent positive qualities we admire and aspire to but need help to bring out and realize.
