The three-card compatibility spread

Both people's birth cards join the reading along with the three cards. Birth cards describe who you each are, so they do not change. The three cards change daily and show where the two of you are now.

  1. Your feelings

    How you feel about them right now and what you want from the relationship.

  2. Their feelings

    How they feel about you. Put it next to the first card and the difference in temperature shows.

  3. The bond between you

    How things flow when you are together. Read it with the birth card pairing to judge whether it is a bond that lasts.

Birth cards and what they bring to a pairing

Some typical ways to read a birth card in a compatibility reading. If either of you has this card, its quality becomes part of the relationship.

  • The Lovers

    Someone who wants the joy of choosing and being chosen. In the third place, a mutual pull.

  • Temperance

    A pairing that meets in the middle. Even very different people can settle into something calm.

  • The Empress

    The one who gives. People with the Empress nurture a relationship by looking after the other person. With an Emperor person, they support each other.

  • The Emperor

    The one who protects. People with the Emperor want stability and promises. With a free-spirited Fool person, it depends on enjoying the difference in pace.

  • The Chariot

    Strong when both of you aim at the same goal. When your directions differ, you clash more easily.

  • The Devil

    An intense attraction. The harder it is to part, the more it is worth checking that it has not become dependence.

Sample reading: the Hierophant and Strength

The StarThe StarYour feelings
StrengthStrengthTheir feelings
TemperanceTemperanceThe bond between you

Your birth card is the Hierophant and theirs is Strength. You value promises and doing things properly, and they meet people gently. It is a pairing that rarely collides.

Your feelings show the Star: you are hopeful about this and want to let it grow over time. Their feelings show Strength. They care about you and are letting their own feelings come out slowly.

The bond is Temperance, two different natures adjusting to each other until you find a comfortable pace. Making plans together more often will steady the relationship further.

How birth card compatibility is worked out

Add the month, day and year of birth, then add the digits until the total is 22 or less. When two people's card numbers reduce to the same single digit, such as the Magician (1) and the Wheel of Fortune (10), they share the same root.

To look up each person first, use the birth card calculator, then come back here to read the two of you today.

Compatibility questions

I do not know the year they were born.

Birth cards need the year. Without it, use how do they feel about me, which only needs your birth date.

Can I check compatibility with a friend or family member?

Yes. Read the first two cards as what each of you wants from the relationship and they fit any kind of bond.

I was told our birth cards are a bad match.

No pairing is good or bad in itself. Very different cards can also complete each other. The three daily cards show where you are right now.
