Numerology in relation to the Marseille Tarot

1 (Bateleur)
Anyone who dabbles in everything can easily grasp the broad outlines of a new field, but will not delve into the depths of things.

2 (The High Priestess) Do not penetrate this one against his will, for only he, through his intuitive reflection, will reveal the nature of his desires in due time.

3 (Empress) Pure intelligence and the logic of science extinguish the allure of the body and illuminate the living beauty of the gaze.

4 (Emperor) Will that competent, practical, reliable, stubborn, and obstinate foreman refuse to heed the wind that makes the foundations of his edifice sway?

5 (Pope)
The security and comfort of blinders limit one’s vision of life. That person will hear only their own voice if their so-called tolerance allows no exception to their morality.

6 (The Lovers)
The idealistic adolescent is enthusiastic and inquisitive. His doubts demand precise answers that mark his path with complete confidence.

7 (The Chariot)The shrewd and diplomatic commander delegates his powers, but never relies solely on his mastery, for he alone knows the politics of the events he has set in motion.

8 (Justice) Does not understand the workings of the event and does not accept the consequences of the cold, emotionless analysis.

9 (Hermite) The life of the nine consists of two parts
The 9th of the new moon: The shy, solitary being cries out and flees the incomprehension of their age when adult thoughts surge up from the depths of their soul.

9 adults: The experience of life has proven the correctness of his philosophy, for wisdom leads to realization through concentration and a slow illusion.

The 10 (Wheel of Fortune)
The whirlwind of existence does not diminish inventive good cheer, for the unexpected carries spontaneity and colors the desire to live.

The 11 (the force) The boss builds his businesses alone, because he does not realize to what extent his boundless energy suffocates collaborators who cannot keep up with him.

The 12 (The Hanged Man) The humanist, philanthropist, and devoted individual will not be able to build his house by using incompetence through divine fatality. He whose nervousness will mark the evasions will lock himself in a fictitious suffering.

The 13 (the nameless card)
Never look behind you, for if you have left a part of yourself behind, you have also severed it as death does, and neither sadness nor melancholy will change its mind.

The 14 (Temperance)
He takes pleasure in complying flexibly and willingly with the decisions of the education of manners and pleasures, as long as they do not touch upon his morals. Failing that, he will retreat into rigidity or indolence.

The 15 (The Devil) The bewitchment of passion unsettles minds; the captivated world accepts sensitive excesses or rejects selfishness and jealousy.

The 16th (The House of God) Excessive ambition breeds pride, headstrong decisions, disasters, and unexpected reversals.

The 17 (The Star) The candid, innocent, and naive child enjoys the protection of deep guides and friends, for his optimism lives in calmness and gentleness.

The 18th (The Moon)
The family sheltered the fleeing dreamer. Do him no harm, or he will repay you a hundredfold.

THE 19 (The Sun)
Emotionality makes the generous and protective being cautious and fragile, unable to conceal the love for children and the attraction to harmonious beauty.

The 20th (Judgment) Who is this dual and astonishing being from which invention springs, this illuminated and spontaneous genius? Is it action or reflection?

The 21 (The World)
The ambition marked by nobility is always commensurate with one's abilities, but the pursuit of perfection can neither replace the neglect of memory nor remove supposedly insurmountable obstacles.

The 22nd (The Fool) In the face of the world's incomprehension, the extravagant, mad genius relies solely on himself, journeys into the unknown, or retreats into a fragile solitude.

Rolande 2311

Hello Rolande,

Thank you for this very useful information. I have a question for you:

I assume that the number in front of each card is the result obtained by calculating the date of birth, e.g., March 19 = 22
to which the current year is added, e.g., 2006 = 8
So 22 + 8 = 30, which reduces to 3
after referring to the chart associated with this figure, which shows the forecasts for the year 2006.

Is this really how it should be done?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Kind regards,

Josy

Dear Josy, to calculate I will come back to it, as I have my own method for counting. The way I do numerology is with the 22 arcanum. The text you see at the top is just an introduction to numerology, how shall I put it! It is a short text to recall the arcanum… I will come back to how to do it and it is very easy the way I do it, however one must know the Major Arcana of the Marseille tarot.

Give me a little time and I’ll come here to explain how to do it. You’ll see, it’s less complicated than you think… you’ll see, you’ll really like it.

Friendship / Rolande

Dear Rolande,

I thank you immensely; this interests and captivates me.
Please enlighten this layperson on the matter, even though the Almighty has granted me a few options.

You are really kind

Friendly regards, Josy

:o Hello Josy

Well, here goes, I’m taking a moment for you to explain (a beginning). For example, I’ll use my date of birth, okay. And I hope to explain all of this well.

First line
Day (Body/Physical): 23
Month (soul)/heart: 11
year (intellect/thought): 1961

below
Day: 2+3 = 5, which gives the arcanum 5 (The Hierophant) at the body level
Month: 1+1 = 2, which gives the arcanum 2 (The High Priestess) at the soul/heart level
Year: 1+9+6+1 = which gives the arcanum 17 (The Star) At the level of the intellect

Now try with yours; we can continue afterwards if that is your wish.

As I said above, you must know the Marseille tarot.

Rolande

Dear Rollande,

Thank you for this very interesting explanation.

I understood the system and I will give you my conclusions with my birth dates and possibly others on private message.

I wish you a good evening

Friendship
Josy

Dear Rollande,

I practiced on my date of birth, so it gives

Day: Physical body: 19 = 20 arcanum Judgement

Month: soul heart: 03 = 3 arcanum The Empress

Year: Intellect: 1957 = 22 arcanum The Mat

Is this the right way to proceed?
I am infinitely grateful to you; thanks to you, I have become familiar with the Marseille Tarot. In fact, I had owned a deck for a long time but had not until today developed a certain intimacy with this game. Is it because I am currently undergoing a spiritual evolution and my few abilities are finally developing? Nevertheless, I used the Belline deck, had an attraction to Madame Lenormand, and have long practiced the 32-card game.
Thank you again, and see you soon

Best regards,

Josy

Dear Josy, it is very good, except that 1+9= the arcanum 10, The Wheel of Fortune.

Rolande

Yes, see you soon. I was with you today, I mean this morning, lol.

I'm learning things, it interests me…
I’m going to get started right away…
Here is my date of birth: 07/08/1969
If you can help me, Rolabde, that would be great so I can figure it out, thanks…

friendship
Oh, Louna…

:o Hello Loulina,

Do it first and then we'll comment on it.
Rolande

Good evening Rolande, here I have the cart
the 8 of Justice
the 10 wheel of fortune
15 devil
Well, I have no idea what that represents!!

Friendship
Oh, Loulina…

:o

Body: you end up with a 7, the Chariot
Soul: You are drawn to the 8, Justice.
your intellect a number 25 that gives the number 7

---

Life Path: 7+8=7= 22
The mat

I also see that you have a lot of 15s in terms of polarity... in fact, in terms of your polarities, you have the same number, 15, The Devil.

Loulina, a rather awkward question: have you ever practiced black magic in the past, or have you been exposed to this form of magic or certain rituals? It's a question I often ask myself ever since I started reading you. Was there any magic in your past?
With arcanum like this, I better understand your empirical experience.

But don't panic, sweetie...

tenderness/rolande

Good evening again
No, Rolande, honestly, I don’t see it. I’ve never done any kind of magic; I just practice Lenormand cards a little, that’s all.

Friendship
Oh, Loulina…

Thank you for welcoming this difficult question with such openness… Loulina is looking somewhere in your circle… anyway, think about it and you’ll reply to me…

Sometimes things are not so easy..

Thank you for your openness, Loulina.

Rolande

I still don’t see it…
Quick question: is it possible that something was performed on me without my knowledge?
I'm going to think about it and look into it some more!!

Friendship
LOulina… :?:

Hello Rolande,

Thank you for all this information about the tarot, which seems very interesting.
I’d like to get back into “The Tarot,” as I abandoned it after I became interested in other tarots, but I must say it was the first one I picked up more than 20 years ago!!

I therefore noted, as explained in your writings, my date of birth:

29 = 11 (strength) = body

8 = 8 (Justice) = the soul

1956 = 21 (the world) = the intellect

11+8+21= 40= 4 (Life Path) The Emperor

Please give me some explanations

friendship

Eliana

I'm trying to place the tiles here, but it's not working. Some kind of pattern would make it much easier, but how do I do that? With a pattern, it would be so much easier... because there are other numbers we need to count.

You are right, your Life Path is 4, The Emperor.

That of self-actualization and reclaiming your personal power in all areas of your life. The stuff of the entrepreneur. lol. We must not forget that each number also has its reversed meaning, which I will explain to you. There are other steps to take before analyzing the number 4, as you also have a sub-number, which is 13.

I'll try to add the diagram a second time, but I really don't know how to do it because the boxes aren't working.

Rolande

Thank you for your kindness, Rolande.

And a good initiative for the diagram; if you can't manage it, ask Tom how you could do it!!

friendship

Eliana

Thanks for your patience, Éliana... I'll keep trying until I get it, just for me... lol, because it would be interesting to post the diagram here. I'm a visual learner, so I need visual support to explain things... lol, lol. That's just how I am, lol.
