| Blog Title: Arcana |
| I've been playing Tarot since I was in high school. Kind of a way to be different from the rest, since we all had to wear the same uniforms (Collège Saint Louis). Lately, I've decided to use Persona 3's Tarot identification system to pretty much everyone I know. Sounds stupid? That's just a hobby. It actually helped me learn a little about some people. I found a nice little equation to figure which Arcana pairing suits someone. Essentially, it works with the birthdate. You take the numbers that equal the month and day of your birthdate and add them. As for the year, you split it between the first two digits and the last two. For instance, if you were born in 1979, you'd split it into 19 and 79. Simple as that. Anyways, you add those numbers to the previous total. The result should be something in the two or three digit numbers. All you have to do is add the digits together. For instance, if the result is 99 and below, you add them. If it's 100 or above, you cut the number between the last digit and the first two. For instance, someone with a result of 132 would be 13 and 2. Next, you add those numbers together. You get your first pairing. Next pairing, you add each digit of the first pairing together. That gets your second pairing. If your first pairing is higher than 21, than you only get your second pairing. In my case, my Arcana pairings are 5, The Hierophant, and 14, Temperance. Here are the meanings of both (found online in www.themysticeye.com/info/tarotcardm.htm): ..> The Hierophant Upright: A need to conform, social approval, bonded to the conventions of society Reverse: Unconventionality, unorthodoxy, an inventor or Upright: Mercy, kindness, forgiveness, compassion, conformity, a sense of historical importance, inspiration Reverse: Foolish generosity, errors are repeated, impotence, vulnerability, frailty, unorthodoxy ..> ..> Temperance Upright: Moderation, temperance, patience, harmony, fusion, good influence, confidence Reverse: Discord, conflict, disunion, hostility, frustration, impatience ..> You can try it at home. You'd be surprised how accurate it can be. |
