A Year Card (sometimes called your Birthday Tarot Card) is one from the Major Arcana, calculated through basic numerology, that is said to represent your year. As with all Card Readings, whether the message is seen as destiny, something to aim for, or do work to avoid, is up to the individual. The cards pose questions and possibilities; advice for you to accept or reject. Likewise, some people suggest it applies for the 12 months that begin on that date while others apply it to the calendar year in which the birthday occurs.
The calculation is:
Add up the individual digits of the date in question- your day of birth, or the annual celebration thereof, and reduce it to a number less than 23. The result is the number of a Major Arcana card; with a 22 generally being read as Major #0- The Fool. Although some folks will reduce it to 2+2=4 Emperor.
I will use myself as an example. I was born on July 25, 1958. Adding 0+7+2+5+1+9+5+8=37. 3+7=10. So my Day of Birth Tarot Card is Major Arcana card #10- The Wheel of Fortune. And boy do I feel that! Some readers prefer to continue reducing to the lowest result, so 10 reduces as 1+0=1; Major #1 is the Magician. Of course one can decide to use both cards, or pick whichever feels right.
There are various websites that offer methods of pulling two cards- adding the Month & Day for one number, and the Year for the second. Another site calculates three cards- set your intention and grab a calculator.
For my 2026 Tarot Card of the Year the math becomes 0+7+2+5+2+0+2+6=24. 2+4=6. This is The Lovers. A few such cards are shown in the image here.
