Introduction to Life Cards
00:00:16
Karen Seinor
Hello, welcome to the Soulful and Wild show. Thank you so much for joining me. I think we're at episode number 18. Yes, we are. And today I'm going to share with you some thoughts on your life cards.
00:00:33
Karen Seinor
And the reason for this is that so often when somebody comes to me and has a reading, they'll ask all the usual questions about their career, their health, finances,
00:00:46
Karen Seinor
individual members of their family. And
Life Cards & Life's Purpose
00:00:49
Karen Seinor
it's only after those big issues are addressed, usually they come for one major thing and then all that stuff is kind of the the filler.
00:00:59
Karen Seinor
But they they kind of save this big question to the end and it's like, what is my life's purpose?
00:01:09
Karen Seinor
That is such a big question. It really and truly is. It's a massive question,
Major Arcana in Life Cards
00:01:14
Karen Seinor
one that really requires session all by itself but usually they ask that you know two minutes before the end of the session so what I thought I'd share with you is how to work out what your life cards are from the major ikana the greatest secrets of the tarot deck and they are the cards the big ones with the the number at the top and the name at the bottom and they are numbered zero through to twenty one
00:01:47
Karen Seinor
They represent the initiations that the soul goes through in a particular lifetime. That's the main way that we teach the major akana.
00:01:59
Karen Seinor
When we're teaching that, most of us will actually teach it in that way. But for us to know what our soul is here working on, we just need to know what our own life cards are.
00:02:13
Karen Seinor
And so
Numerology and Tarot for Life Cards
00:02:14
Karen Seinor
that's what I want to share with you today. It won't take that long. This won't be a long episode, but valuable, I think, in answering that really big question.
00:02:25
Karen Seinor
And although it won't fill in all the small details, it'll give you a big overarching or a helicopter view of what it is that you're doing here this lifetime, what your focus is.
00:02:39
Karen Seinor
So, What we do to work it out is we we use numerology and alchemically we blend it with the tarot cards, the major karnah cards.
00:02:50
Karen Seinor
So all you need to do is add your day, month and year of birth together and you'll get a double digit number. So for example, let's just say that your number is, what are we going to give it?
00:03:10
Karen Seinor
um 1964 when you add those up. What you're going to do then if you're going to add the individual numerals together, 1 plus 9 plus 6 plus 4, which equals, what is that, 20.
00:03:27
Karen Seinor
So what that tells us is that first double-digit number is your personality card, and that's the judgment card, 20.
00:03:40
Karen Seinor
twenty So that tells us how you are going to move through the world on that personality level. It's what you're kind of working with as a personality.
00:03:52
Karen Seinor
What you then do is you add the two plus the zero to get one individual number. Two plus
Insight into Personality and Soul Lessons
00:04:00
Karen Seinor
zero equals two, which is the High Priestess card.
00:04:05
Karen Seinor
So that tells us what your soul card is. And that's what your soul is working on, yeah? That's the core, the inner part of you and what you're really here to do.
00:04:19
Karen Seinor
In a way, the personality card shows us how you're doing it. Now, those two cards are the most important ones for you to know and they will give you an answer, albeit ah a helicopter sort of view.
00:04:37
Karen Seinor
that will answer that question about what's it all about, what am I really doing here? As a soul, you are working through this ah lesson or initiation of the High Priestess.
00:04:49
Karen Seinor
If your number is your life cards are 20 and then two. and The next piece to that, and it always works like that with the exception of one, when your date of birth comes down and adds up to to number 19, the Sun card, you end up with an extra card, what we would call a hidden teacher card. So our process, our formula, is you add day, month and year of birth and you'll get a double-digit number.
00:05:29
Karen Seinor
You then add those two numbers together, 1 plus 9 equals
00:05:37
Karen Seinor
which is the Wheel of Fortune card, and that is your soul card. Personality card is 19. 1 plus 9 equals 10, so your soul card is the Wheel of Fortune.
00:05:48
Karen Seinor
Now, obviously, 10 is a double-digit number, and that's what makes this different. So you add the 1 plus the 0, that equals 1, and that's the Magician card. that is your Hidden Teacher card.
00:06:04
Karen Seinor
So whenever that... that Those life cards add up to number 19. You know
Astrological Cards and Zodiac Guidance
00:06:11
Karen Seinor
that your person or you or your beloved is going to have three life cards, personality, soul and the hidden teacher.
00:06:22
Karen Seinor
So it's not complicated, right? We're using the principles of numerology and we're just using date, month and year of birth to get your personality card and your soul card.
00:06:37
Karen Seinor
Once you know those, learn about them and you'll be able to see those lessons because that's what they are. They're initiations. There's lessons involved in working with those things. And fundamentally, we are here going through a refinement process. It's an alchemical process life.
00:06:58
Karen Seinor
Beginnings, endings, we're constantly changing, right? That's what it's all about. And alchemy change is magic. People get all wound up about what magic is.
00:07:09
Karen Seinor
I think magic is simple. We're just taking one thing, course, refining it and making it finer, something different, totally different. That's what magic is. And we're working with it here.
00:07:24
Karen Seinor
So you know what they say, as above, so below.
00:07:30
Karen Seinor
As above in the heavens, so below, that is me. Okay, now, so we've talked about the personality card, the soul card, and the hidden teacher card.
00:07:43
Karen Seinor
The other card that we can look at, which is going to travel with you your whole lifetime, is your astrological card. So if you don't know
Zodiac Lessons: Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius
00:07:54
Karen Seinor
the zodiac, um but you obviously you do know your day of birth, you can go onto my website, www.soulfulandwild.com. Up the top,
00:08:05
Karen Seinor
Click on the, there's, you know, little tags and banners and things. um Click on the resources hub. In there, this podcast actually is there, but there's there's something called Reflections and that's my blog.
00:08:20
Karen Seinor
If you go in there, you'll be able to just, in the little search thing, you can write um astrological cards and there's a blog post there that will give you a list of them.
00:08:30
Karen Seinor
So you've just got to know your date of birth. If you don't know your zodiac sign, It'll be there. So I'll give you an example, very simple example.
00:08:43
Karen Seinor
So somebody who is a Scorpio, for example. Don't mind me dropping the cards, dropping the deck. So Scorpio, someone who has a zodiac sign, astrology sign of the zodiac, death is theirs.
00:09:03
Karen Seinor
zodiac card, their astrological life card, zodiac, astro astrology, same thing, right? um
00:09:12
Karen Seinor
So the energy of death is what they're working with. That's at their their third, or in the case of our person who whose date of birth adds up to 19 initially, most people will have three with their zodiac sign.
00:09:27
Karen Seinor
Those unusual people have four. So for Scorpio, what are you working with this lifetime? You are working with endings, like lots and lots of endings. So basically you're learning to release and let go and surrender.
00:09:46
Karen Seinor
And when you look at the death card, especially this lovely big one, you can see one two, three, four people We've got the king, which represents the ego, and he's been slain by death.
00:10:03
Karen Seinor
So he's like his ego cannot survive change. The pope or the priest is bowing down to death, submissive to change.
00:10:18
Karen Seinor
The young maiden here, she's looking away, oh, no, i can't handle it, right? And it's only the child who is welcoming death or change with a bunch of flowers.
00:10:31
Karen Seinor
So when you look at the imagery on the death tarot card, it shows you, Scorpio, exactly how to do this lesson and do it with greater ease. But of course, knowing and doing, that's where the learning is. That's where the refinement comes.
00:10:50
Karen Seinor
We've all got an ego. We've all got that part of us that wants to follow the rules and be part of the grouping as shown by our um our priesty person here in the card.
00:11:03
Karen Seinor
We've all got that part of us that doesn't want to look at the ugly stuff or only wants life to be beautiful like the young maiden. But it's the innocent part of us, the part of us that trusts and knows that we'll be completely okay, who's able to deal with change and flow with it.
00:11:21
Karen Seinor
And one of the things with ah Scorpios is life will keep bringing change around until they learn to do that change with a greater level of grace and are able to just flow with it.
00:11:39
Karen Seinor
So that is a life lesson for the Scorpio. So we can see how the tarot cards will actually show you how to do it, all right?
00:11:50
Karen Seinor
how to learn the lesson and begin to flow with it in a way that's positive and is empowering for you.
00:11:59
Karen Seinor
Now, likewise for our Leos, I'm just giving you a few examples, all right? Likewise with our Leos, this is a Strengths card and this is the um astrological card, life card, for our Leo people.
00:12:15
Karen Seinor
And you can see in this image that
00:12:20
Karen Seinor
If you're looking at the video, if you're just listening to this, get your cards out and have a look. The Strengths card is the Major Akana card number eight, and it shows a wild lion, a big beast of the jungle, the king of the jungle, in fact, and a beautiful maiden, blonde maiden with a garland of flowers around her hair.
00:12:43
Karen Seinor
And she's wearing a white virginal gown, right? So we can see that she's an innocent, she's gentle, she's feminine and soft. That's the indication here.
00:12:54
Karen Seinor
And our king of the jungle, the wild lion, what's happening is she has her hand at his mouth and her the other hand is over his head.
00:13:07
Karen Seinor
So in essence, we know that Leos are said to have big egos, to have big personalities. And that part of their their lesson this lifetime is to bring themselves into a level of balance so that they can self-regulate
Calculating and Overlapping Cards
00:13:26
Karen Seinor
with greater ease.
00:13:28
Karen Seinor
um To use their personal power, the the force of their personality in a way that works. yeahp There's lots of issues around power for Leos.
00:13:43
Karen Seinor
And what we're seeing here with the strength card is these two ends of the spectrum. You know, at the one end we've got the wild beast and at the other we've got the gentle maiden.
00:13:56
Karen Seinor
And really in this lifetime we we're being shown it through the the imagery in the strength card that the lesson is for the wild beast to be tamed by the gentle aspect within the Leo person.
00:14:13
Karen Seinor
within the Leo um astrology sign, yeah? Now, how do we do that? That's the lesson. That's the journey this lifetime, is to work through your life with that being the goal, to bring those two different aspects of the self together so that they can be blended and therefore you are in a state of balance.
00:14:41
Karen Seinor
Beautiful. Beautiful imagery. And I mean, of course, for every single one of us, we are all working on these kinds of lessons and this lesson even in particular. But for our Leo people, this is the focus.
00:14:55
Karen Seinor
Yeah. I'll give you another zodiac example, if I may. And this is the star card. Now, the star is for the Aquarians who are listening.
00:15:11
Karen Seinor
And you may know an Aquarian, even if you're not one. So you can see here in the card, this person is naked. In the imagery, if you're looking at this card, you can see that the woman has no clothes on.
00:15:28
Karen Seinor
So she is vulnerable. Anybody who's naked is vulnerable. There's no covering. Nothing is hidden. And she has the two jugs. She's pouring water, the water of life on the earth and also into the waters.
00:15:45
Karen Seinor
So she is the balancing agent between earth and water. We've got
00:15:55
Karen Seinor
um we've got all these stars here. Now, the core lesson here is one of healing. It's about emotional healing for our Aquarians.
00:16:10
Karen Seinor
They're very gentle people. They are all about being healers. um Often our Aquarian people are humanitarians. It doesn't mean they're all sorted out. It's just that this is, you know, a tendency that they go towards.
00:16:26
Karen Seinor
And whenever this, you know, when you're born under this sign, a big part of your life lesson is about working with groups.
00:16:41
Karen Seinor
And many Aquarians, from my experience, have had, they're often very psychic and they have a sensitivity to people and a great love of people usually.
00:16:56
Karen Seinor
And so they are attuned. They read the signs. they they they They can feel the emotion in people. So they're all about healing and and working with groups, basically, and doing their own healing.
00:17:10
Karen Seinor
And part of the lesson for Aquarians is that they have the light shine on them. They tend to be, generally speaking, happiest to be in the background, but their lesson or their initiation this lifetime is to take the healing that they need and basically step up onto the stage.
00:17:35
Karen Seinor
and receive the light and hold a position of being the leading lady or the leading man in the story of their life because they usually have group work to do and they've been born under the star and need to take a role of leadership or um leadership, yeah, leadership in some way.
00:18:00
Karen Seinor
So that's kind of the initiation that... our star people our Aquarians are working with now I hope that gives you a bit of an idea so I'll just recap it's not complicated it's just math so you're going to add your day month and year of birth you will get a double digit number and
00:18:30
Karen Seinor
That double digit number is going to tell you what your personality card is for this lifetime. You add those two numbers together, that represents your soul card.
00:18:42
Karen Seinor
And that is your other significant life card. Your third significant life card is determined by your zodiac sign. And I've given you a couple of examples of that.
00:18:55
Karen Seinor
And we've got one exception to the rule which is when your date of birth adds up to number 19, which is a sun.
00:19:08
Karen Seinor
And then you'll have three life cards rather than two because 19 is your personality card. One plus nine equals 10, which is the Wheel of Fortune card. That's your soul card.
00:19:21
Karen Seinor
And then because that's still a double digit number, we add the one plus zero, which gives us one for the magician card. And that is
Personal Growth Through Life Cards
00:19:30
Karen Seinor
your hidden teacher card Now, there is one other tricky thing.
00:19:36
Karen Seinor
And the tricky thing is it thats we only have 22 major Akana cards. So if you have a number, if that first number is more than 22, for example, it's 23, then you're going to, the system doesn't work. So you need to add two plus three together, which brings you immediately to a single digit number.
00:20:01
Karen Seinor
So what that means is that your personality and your soul card are the same. And in this case, it's number five, the hierophant. So if you had, for example, I'm not good at math. i've got to tell you the truth. So um this is always a trick for me.
00:20:22
Karen Seinor
So if, for example, your birthday the 31st January 1964, just as an example, um then 6, 9, okay.
00:20:38
Karen Seinor
Then that would, 31 plus 1 plus 1964 equals equals 10, 19, 25. That's greater than number 22, right? So that means we have to add the 2 plus the 5, which equals 7.
00:20:54
Karen Seinor
that's greater than number twenty two right so that means we have to add the two plus the five equal seven and that is our chariot card, and that is our personality card and our soul card.
00:21:08
Karen Seinor
All right, so whenever it's a number over 22.
00:21:14
Karen Seinor
I'm going to put this in a blog post so you can double check it, okay? You can read through it if this um is a little confusing.
00:21:24
Karen Seinor
But once you've done it a couple of times, do a few friends, do your family members, and you'll get to see that it's it's not hard to do. It's just a few little tweaks to it. and So when you've got your double-digit personality and soul card, what that means, if it's the same card, you've got the same card for personality and soul and your zodiac card and you've only got two life cards to work with.
00:21:51
Karen Seinor
When your personality and soul card are the same, it means that you are very focused this lifetime about things your initiations, what you're working with, super focused.
00:22:04
Karen Seinor
So, your life cards are a great tool. They are so helpful to know because it will give you a really good sense about what your soul is here to do individually, personally for you.
00:22:21
Karen Seinor
all right These are the lessons that you're working with as a soul and You are moving through the challenges that these cards represent.
00:22:34
Karen Seinor
