HOW TO
In this Reading, we will use the numbers associated with your birth date to determine the card that represents your general situation in this life, your Key Card or mascot. Here's how. . . Simply add up the month, day, and year of your birth, like this:
August 29, 1952 = 8 + 29 + 1952 = 1989
Then add up the result:
1989 = I + 9 + 8 + 9 = 27
Now reduce this number by adding it -up once more. You should get a number of 10 or less:
27 = 2 + 7 = 9
If this step adds up exactly to 10, reduce it again to 1, only if the day of the month in which you were born is an odd number; leave it as 10 if the day on which you were born is an even number.
Jot down your figures here.
