Tarot numerology for your day, month, year, and birth chart

1 follower

In most tarot apps, you shuffle and draw. In The Tarot Almanac, every day already has its cards, set by tarot numerology. There's the collective card we all share, and your personal card, set by your birthday. The gap between them is your Bearing, one card that stays with you for life. Look back at any day you've lived, look ahead a month, and make a seven-card birth chart for yourself or someone you love. Check your cards in the morning, and you'll know whether to bring an umbrella.

The Almanac runs entirely on Vercel, and three parts of it shaped the product. Functions let the Almanac keep paid readings on the server. Each reading is set by your birthday and the date, and the gated text never reaches your browser unless you've unlocked it. That's what let me offer a real free preview, with the chart's structure and your Bearing, without giving the paid readings away. Image generation gave every card, every Bearing, and every birthday its own share image, made on the fly. When someone shares their Bearing, it shows up as a card with its glyph, and the same system makes the Almanac's Pinterest pins. Sharing is how people find this, so that mattered a lot. Web Analytics is cookieless, which let me skip cookie banners for everyday visitors. For a product where people type in their birthday, not tracking them was part of the design. And as a one-person team, deploying on a git push meant I could fix a line of copy or a card reading and see it live in a minute.

Hi everyone! I'm Tali, and I made The Tarot Almanac. My first tarot cards were passed down to me when I was 11. My day job runs on logic and systems, and tarot has always been the other half for me, the thing that gets people talking about their hopes and fears. What bugged me about most tarot apps is that the cards are random. Pull again and you get something else. Astrology doesn't work that way. Nobody shuffles the sky. Your birth chart is fixed, and an astrologer reads what's there. I found the answer in tarot numerology. So every day in the Almanac already has its cards, set by tarot numerology. One is the collective card we all share. The other is your personal card, set by your birthday. The gap between them is your Bearing, and it never changes. It's the angle you bring to every day. The biggest change along the way was the math. The traditional method adds up the digits of a date until it's a single small number, which means about half the Major Arcana can never come up. So the Almanac wraps around the full wheel of twenty-two instead. Every card is in play, and you can work out any day by hand. I don't know if I believe in fate. I do think we get a choice, every day, about what we do with what we're handed. The Almanac helps you see what you're being handed. Your Bearing and today's cards are free, no account needed. I'd love to hear what your Bearing is, and whether it feels like you.
