Your Natal Deck
Your birth chart, dealt as tarot cards.
Every placement in your chart already has a card. We compute your exact degrees, deal each one in the Waite-Smith deck, and write a reading of how they speak to each other.

What's in your deck
- The core nine. Your Sun, Moon and Ascendant, each with its decan card, court card and Major Arcana.
- Every planet. A row for Mercury through Pluto, plus your Midheaven.
- Your deck's weather. Totals by suit and element, so you can see what your chart leans toward.
- A written reading. About 600 words on how the cards fit together. Reflective, never predictive.
Each card shows why it was dealt, for example “Scorpio II: Sun in Scorpio → Six of Cups”.

Questions
Why these cards?
They come from the Golden Dawn's Book T, the system Waite and Pamela Colman Smith drew into the scenic pip cards of the 1909 deck. Pips follow the decans, courts follow 30° spans that run from 20° of one sign to 20° of the next, and Majors follow the sign and planet attributions. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto use the modern attributions, labeled as such.
Which court card is which?
The Golden Dawn's mounted King (the Thoth Knight) appears as the Waite-Smith Knight, its Queen as the Queen, and its Prince as the Waite-Smith King, following Benebell Wen's mapping. Pages rule quadrants rather than degrees, so they are not dealt.
What if I don't know my birth time?
We cast the chart for noon. The Ascendant and Midheaven cards are left out and your Moon card is marked approximate, since the Moon moves about 13° a day.
What does “on the cusp” mean?
If a point sits within 5′ of a boundary between two cards, the page says so and names both.
Is this a prediction?
No. It is a reflective reading of a temperament, not a forecast, and it makes no health, legal or financial claims.
