Calculate your tarot year card for 2027

How the year card is calculated

Add your birthday (day and month) to the number of the year you are curious about. Your birth year does not count.

Add up the digits of the result and repeat until the number is 22 or less. The result is the number of a Major Arcana card in the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot; 22 stands for The Fool (0).

Example: birthday on 14 March, year 2027 → 14 + 3 + 2027 = 2044 → 2 + 0 + 4 + 4 = 10 → Wheel of Fortune.

The card of the year 2027: Justice

Every year also has a card of its own, regardless of birthdays: add up the digits of the year. For 2027 that gives Justice. It describes the mood everyone shares, while your personal year card shows how you experience it.

How to work with your year card

• Read your card in the lexicon and note the two or three keywords that speak to you.
• Keep the card as an image or note where you see it often – in your journal, for example.
• At the start of each month, look back briefly: where did the card’s theme show up?
• Draw a daily card as well when you want a concrete prompt for everyday life.
