Death as your birth card

Death as a birth card means your number is 13, which reduces to 4.

Death as a birth card means your number is 13, which reduces to 4. That pairs you with The Emperor. It reflects endings, transition and release, and it is rarely literal. Use it for reflection and enjoyment, not for answers about the future.

Your birth card comes from your date of birth. Add the year, month and day together, then add the digits of the result until you reach a number from 1 to 22.

Your gifts

You can let go and begin again. You often handle change with courage.

Your challenges

You may cling to the past or fear a needed change. Notice what has run its course.

In love

You love with honesty about endings and beginnings. Give new things time to settle.

At work

You do well in work that involves renewal, such as turnarounds, redesign or clearing out. Build a base, as The Emperor suggests.

Advice

Let one thing go this month, and make room for something new.

Cards that share your number

Birth cards whose numbers reduce to the same digit are read together, so Death shares a theme with these cards.

Not sure which card is yours? Work it out from your birthday.
