How is the Matrix of Destiny calculated?
The Matrix of Destiny is a modern numerology system that turns a birth date into numbers from 1 to 22, linked to the Major Arcana of tarot. You do not need a birth time or birthplace.
Numbers above 22 are reduced by adding their digits until the result is 22 or less. The chart combines the day, month and digits of the birth year to create its main points and center. Other points are derived from these numbers.
We use the numbering common in this system: Justice is 8, Strength is 11 and the Fool is 22. Other tarot traditions use different numbering.
The meanings are symbolic themes for reflection, not facts about your character, health or future. This is a modern system, not a verified ancient teaching. People born on the same date receive the same chart, but lead different lives.
