Astrology Enhanced by the Science of the Cards

Most everyone knows what their sun sign is, but do you know what your Birth Card is? It is a little known fact that our common playing cards are part of an ancient system of self understanding that is in many ways superior to astrology and numerology, a system that you can use to further your understanding of yourself and to make incredibly accurate predictions about what will happen in your personal future. This short article will introduce you to your personal Birth Card and tell you a little about what it means. My book, Your Birthday Your Card, reveals everyting about every card in the deck and more about this system that is used by some of the best astrologers and readers around the country. Now you can use this for yourself. nnTo find out your Birth Card, use this formula: Take the number of your birth month (1-12) and double it. If you were born in September for example you would take 9*2 = 18. Now add the day of the month you were born to that. If you were born on September 15th, you would add 15 to the 18 which gives you 33. Now subtract that total from 55. In this case, 55 - 33 = 22. This final number is what is called the Solar Value of your Birth Card. Now use the table below to determine what your Birth Card is from it's Solar Value:nn1 =Ace of Hearts n2 =2 of Hearts n3 =3 of Hearts n4 =4 of Hearts n5 =5 of Hearts n6 =6 of Hearts n7 =7 of Hearts n8 =8 of Hearts n9 =9 of Hearts n10 =10 of Hearts n11 =Jack of Hearts n12 =Queen of Hearts n13 =King of Hearts n14 =Ace of Clubs n15 =Two of Clubs n16 =Three of Clubs n17 =Four of Clubs n18 =Five of Clubs n19 =Six of Clubs n20 =Seven of Clubs n21 =Eight of Clubs n22 =Nine of Clubs n23 =Ten of Clubs n24 =Jack of Clubs n25 =Queen of Clubs n26 =King of Clubs n27 =Ace of Diamonds n28 =Two of Diamonds n29 =Three of Diamonds n30 =Four of Diamonds n31 =Five of Diamonds n32 =Six of Diamonds n33 =Seven of Diamonds n34 =Eight of Diamonds n35 =Nine of Diamonds n36 =Ten of Diamonds n37 =Jack of Diamonds n38 =Queen of Diamonds n39 =King of Diamonds n40 =Ace of Spades n41 =Two of Spades n42 =Three of Spades n43 =Four of Spades n44 =Five of Spades n45 =Six of Spades n46 =Seven of Spades n47 =Eight of Spades n48 =Nine of Spades n49 =Ten of Spades n50 =Jack of Spades n51 =Queen of Spades n52 =King of SpadesnnException!

One is how you can do relationship comparisons and readings. Most cards are strongly related to other cards in ways that can reveal to you the real, but often hidden dynamics of what is going on between you and someone else. For example, those whose card either precedes yours or follows yours, in the natural order, are considered your past-life cards, people with whom you have strong past-life connections and who you may have recognized as such at your first meeting. For example, if your birth card is the 7 of Diamonds, your past life cards are the 6 of Diamonds and the 8 of Diamonds. The natural order is always from Ace to King, beginning with the Hearts, then Clubs, Diamonds and Spades. There are many more interesting things to learn about yourself and your love life using this system. Love Cards has a complete system for finding everything you want to know.n
