I am The Fool

The Fool can signal a new beginning or change of direction - one that will guide you onto a path of adventure, wonder and personal growth. He also reminds you to keep your faith and trust your natural responses. If you are facing a decision or moment of doubt, the Fool tells you to believe in yourself and follow your heart no matter how crazy or foolish your impulses may seem.

The Fool also frequently messes up the numbers he inputs into forms. Maybe you should try it again...

How does it work?

The numerological formula for reducing your birthdate to its lowest form is to add month + day + year to come up with a total. ie: 6 + 15 + 1974 = 1995. 1 + 9 + 9 + 5 = 24. 2 + 4 = 6. So your card would be 6, The Lovers. Since there are 22 cards, numbered from 0 to 21, the numbers are added together progressively so that as soon as the total is a number less than 23, it stops.

Numerologically, 0 and 22 hold the same meaning and since your birthday will never add up to 0, no matter

But this card doesn't seem anything like me.

Tarot isn't about the cards telling you who you are or what the future holds for you. It's about challenging your way of thinking; to promote thinking differently or to divert the flow of your sometimes habitual ways of solving a problem. Every card tells a story and how you choose to use that story is up to you.

If you want something more accurate or meaningful, learn the cards yourself and give yourself a full reading. Or you can find someone who reads the cards to do it for you.

Your methods are flawed! I know more about this than you do!

Aw, don't be so hard on yourself. I don't know much about this at all. I like to program and thought this would be a fun project. If you've got a better idea, let me know what it is and I'll gladly improve my system.

Where did you get the interpretations from?

Shamelessly stolen from LearnTarot.com. I tried to come up with my own interpretations, but hers were so much better than anything I could have come up with. I emailed her asking for permission to use her coprighted works, but got no response. I've put a link to her full interpretation in each description, so hopefully she'll appreciate the added traffic to her site and not sue me. If you haven't yet, go visit her site to make sure she knows we appreciate her work!

Are you aggregating data about LiveJournal users?

Not really. Well, sorta. I have a database of every date entered into the form. I want to count up the total usage of the thing. Plus I think it'd be fun to get the average d.o.b. But no, nothing personal is kept about you.

Can I see your statistics?

Okay!

Total number of records: 19593
Average year of birth: 1977
Average month: June
Average day: 15th

More stats to follow as I get inspired. Average month and day are pretty predictable stats. Most common year in addition to average might be fun, or most common day of the week to be born.
