A Numerology Reminder and September

The capstone of the year!
By Lalia Wilson


Most people who use tarot also use numerology. They use numerology in the sense of the whole system of tarot aligning with numerology, but also they may have separately studied some numerology at some point. For that reason, this is a reminder, not a full book.

Your month, day, and year of birth, when converted to numbers and added together, then reduced to a number between 1 and 9, or the double digits 11, 22, 33, is your life path. Each year you have an annual number which is formed by combining your month and day of birth with the current year. Many tarot readers use the Major Arcana card or cards that align with that number as their annual guidance. 

  • Joe Biden was born on 11/20/1942, so his life path is 2. This corresponds to the major arcana cards The High Priestess, Justice, and Judgment.
  • Donald Trump was born on 6/14/1946, so his life path is 4. This corresponds to the major arcana cards The Emperor and Death.
  • Queen Elizabeth was born on 4/21/1926, so her life path is 7. This corresponds to the major arcana cards The Chariot and The Tower.


However their current year, and yours are found by adding their month and day of birth to the current year. Thus:

Images are from Witches Tarot by Ellen Dugan and Mark Evans, published by Llewellyn. These cards represent the current year vibration/number of Biden, Trump, and Queen Elizabeth II.


  • Joe Biden current year is 11 + 2 + 2020 = 7. Seven corresponds to the major arcana cards The Chariot and The Tower.
  • Donald Trump current year is 6 + 14 + 2020 = 6. Six corresponds to the major arcana cards The Lovers and The Devil. 
  • Queen Elizabeth II current year is 4 + 21 + 2020 = 11. Eleven corresponds to the major arcana cards The High Priestess, Justice, and Judgment.


Why is September so important? Because, for everyone, their current month will equal their current year. It is a time of (potential) full realization of their annual number. 

Similarly, October is very important because it is the next number and gives a hint of our following year. 

Also of note, next year Joe Biden enters an 8 year of power. Donald Trump enters a 7 year of seclusion.

Many numerologists, including me, say that the year vibration changes on January 1st for everyone. Other numerologists, however, say it only changes on your birthday.

This method of finding your numerology/tarot cards is discussed in Mary K. Greer’s Tarot for Yourself: a Workbook for Personal Transformation. Greer calls the single-digit major arcana card your soul card, and the double-digit number or numbers your personality card. 


The major arcana is divided into numerology equivalents:

  • 1, 10, 19 = The Magician, The Wheel of Fortune, and The Sun.
  • 2, 11, 20 = The High Priestess, Justice, and Judgment.
  • 3, 12, 21 = The Empress, The Hanged Man, The World.
  • 4, 13 = The Emperor, Death.
  • 5, 14 = The Hierophant, Temperance.
  • 6, 15 = The Lovers, The Devil.
  • 7, 16 = The Chariot, The Tower.
  • 8, 17 = Strength, The Star.
  • 9, 18 = The Hermit, The Moon.


This assumes that you ascribe Strength as trump number 8 and Justice as trump number 11.
