RCG Tarot Card Classes: Soul Cards & Personality Cards
The first thing I am going to post about is the concept of Personality and Soul cards. To determine these do the following:
add your month of birth, day of birth, and year of birth together
In my case
0005
0003
1983 +
1991
Now add across like this:
1 + 9 + 9 + 1 = 20
[continuing adding in this way until you have a number that is 21 or less]
2 + 0 = 2
[And if your number is a double digit (10-21) also add again to reach a single digit]
Depending on your numbers, you may end up with three, two or only one number. If you have two, the larger number is your Personality Card and tell you about how you relate to and express yourself in the outer world--your talents, gifts, resources and how others see you. The second (single digit) number is your Soul Card and represents your spiritual self or soul, the deepest core of who you are. This is what inspires you. If you have two numbers you are likely to be an integrater/synthesizer.
If you have only one number, it is both your Personality and your Soul Card and your are likely to be a specializer. There are a few who have three numbers 19-10-1. If this is you, you likely have a need to express your creativity in an original and innovative way.
In case you are reading along and want to find your own out, here is a a Handy Dandy Wiki - Major Arcana List.
I. My Soul Card: The High Priestess
I've known about this one for years, since RCG did a class in which we broke into groups and discussed our Soul Cards. I very much feel like I'm still growing into and learning the whole of this card. And I remember slight surprise in the two older sisters of the group when I walked over and was sitting with them. It fits in a very quiet, introspective way, when I'm reading my book about what the card means.
II. My Personality Card: Judgment
This one took me as a shock, though I will say it's because of my personal connotations with the word judgment.
Trying to keep an open mind, I went to open my only main tarot book on hand, The Tarot of Transformation by Arlena & Corie. Amazingly enough, in this book/deck, 20 has been renamed; Compassion and it starts with the phrase Transcending Judgment before going on and on. Everything I had thought about that card fell out the window as i was reading these three pages going ".....oh. uh. Maybe this is me. A lot."
Then My Girl commented on our RCG list saying, her deck called it Rebirth and she was laughing at just how much it was me. It's all about transformation, decision making, hearing your calling, trusting the universe over logic, seeing beyond the hard lines and into the people. Caring deeply for others.
