So...today I calculated my Tarot card for this year. To figure it out you count up the numbers of your birth date and month with the current year, so for me that is 21+1+2008 = 2030, then reduce again until you get a number below 21, the number of Major Arcana: 2+3 = 5

Therefore my card for this year is the Hierophant. It is represented in my Tarot deck by Leviathan. The Hierophant stands for "the first step - comprehension - guidance - advice." So far this year it's been pretty accurate.
Last year I was Death, which is "transformation - liberation - change - death and rebirth." That was really accurate, as last year I went through a lot of change.

You know, apparently whenever I had the card Strength (passion - desire - dependence - control) in a reading, it would radiate a lot of energy. I only just realised why. It's the card for my birth (21+1+1993 = 2015, 2+1+5 = 8). That explains my attachment to the card .

I always use a Dragon Tarot, not just because I love the animal, but because of the three fundamental principals they retain in all forms:
- Natures pure primordial energy, the wild part, instinct, chaos
- A vision of the four elements in one animal: scales for water, four legs for earth, wings for the air, and the breath of flames for fire
- The conflict between male and female principles, often appearing as a spirit serving one of the two principals or directly embodying one or the other.
I find I usually get more personal readings with the Dragons. Other decks just seem too...distant.

So, what is your card this year?
