    For Yukari, wasn't she one of the creaters of Gensoukyo? So that's why she got the "World" card?

    I thought it had something to do with her being a reality warper or at least her manipulation over all boundaries.

    Sakuya totally should've been World.

    I see what you did there.

    The names of the major arcana in Tarot are not literal. The World arcana is not literally "The World." Though, I don't see why people are dissecting the character picks here. The artist clearly was going more for wordplay luls than characters who most fit the major arcana.

    Just because she is a tribute to Dio Brando doesn't make her worthy of the card...Honestly, I'm getting sick of these jokes already. >.>

    Moon
    Represents Illusions...[]
    No Reisen

    I think you are right. Moon should be represented by Reisen. After all, she is the master of illusions and madness. Besides, she is also from the moon.

    So, how do I do this?

    Apparently, add the month you were born, day, first two digits of the year, and last two digits. And then you add the two numbers of the sum together. If you get 3 digits, add the first two digits to the last, although I guess it doesn't quite matter too much.

    Using that, I got either The Moon or The Hermit, both of which are kinda fit me.

    Sorry but how does this work? Someone mention they are equivalent to one of these cards, I never tried this before.

    To find out the tarot card for your birthday, simply add up each individual digit of your full birthday, as in this example:

    01/01/1990 = 0+1+0+1+1+9+9+0 = 21 which corresponds with 21. The World (Yukari). If you get a total over 22 (card 0. The Fool is also card #22 in the Major Arcana), simply add the resulting two digits together (i.e., 34 would be 3+4=7, etc.).

    With that said, I'm The Hermit (Yuyuko). Pretty fitting, lol =_=;

    So let me see if I got this right. 01/16/1991 would be 10?

    Jin - Yeah, you've got it. I'm a chariot, which doesn't fit me at all. However, I do love Mokou. But I don't think Mokou fits the chariot either. So my conclusion is that Mokou and I should run off together to escape our poor categorization.

    Too bad tarot is one of those things that's been so twisted you can't get a good resource on it. The last reading I had the person didn't even know about/include the minor arcana.

    I don't believe it tells the future like it's usually shown to in movies and stuff. I moreso believe it offers guidance. Basically, you get a reading and it makes you think about how it applies to you. There's insight and knowledge to be gained from that.

    May I come with, as I am also the Chariot? Then again, I do like victory...

    lol, my birthday is 1/16 as well (but 1990) .-.

    As for the artist's choice of characters, I don't think there's really much thought put into the actual meaning of the tarot card itself, but rather what each touhou character is well-known for (like Suika is known for being ridiculously strong).

    I mean >_>; Yuuka was only chosen for The Sun because the card in Japanese is read "Taiyou" and a word for "Sunflower" can be "taiyou no hana". Kaguya was chosen for The Moon with a similar process of thinking.

    .....why did no one comment on Lily White as The Lovers yet?

    Yup! You're the Wheel of Fortune. Additionally, here's a link that does it for you and provides a little about each of the cards (just for everyone's reference): http://www.obeythefist.com/tarot/

    Ah . . . I think the method that site uses is different from the method suggested by hitsuuna -- using hitsuuna's method, I'm identified as III, but if I plug my birthday into the site I'm pegged as XII . . . =_=

    Still, interesting to try the different methods.

    There are a massive number of ways to do a reading, from a full on spread to just a 3-Card Spread using only Major Arcana.

    10/10/1987 = 27, 9. That's quite spooky, seeing as how all my friends come to me for advice but I never actually hang out with them. I'm a mild Hermit! Wheee~

    12: The Hanged Man
    Kagiyama Hina
    The Hanged Man represents sacrifice and surrender. Hina absorbs curses at her own price.

    didn't SoPM mention that Hina basically feeds off those Curses/her power is derived from drawing in curses?
    Edit: forgot to mention mine was 0+7+0+4+1+9+9+0=30 3+0=3...so i guess i'm with Minoriko.

    Now that's a nice and satisfying description.

    Some weeks ago I already try matching up my life and personality with tarot and decide that I suit with Temperance.
