Basically, the playing card system helps you to understand yourself better through the combined symbolism of playing cards, astrology and numerology. As crazy as it may sound (as it did to me at first), using this system, playing cards contain symbolism that partially explains your personality! I am a very skeptical person by nature so don't take my word for it. Compare the descriptions against reality -- yourself and the people you know. For a greater understanding of yourself please check out all of the other systems I use. No one system has all the answers!
In Table 1 below you will find your BIRTH CARD (BC), which is similar to your zodiacal Sun sign in astrology. It is the most important symbol of your uniqueness in this system.
Click on any playing card in Table 1 below to read a general description of that card. After clicking on a playing card in the grid, you can then read a description for any day of birth associated with that card. The actual birthday descriptions are more specific because they take into account the influences of astrology and numerology but keep in mind that these are still general descriptions for anyone born on that day. Enneagram type, Myers-Briggs type, time of birth, place of birth and full name at birth will greatly effect these simplistic descriptions.

How To Determine Your Displaced Card And Understand How The System Works
The second most important card in this system is called the DISPLACED CARD and has almost as much of a bearing on your personality as your BIRTH CARD. I will explain how to determine it in a moment. You also have a Moon (¡) card, Mercury (£) card, Venus (¤) card, Mars (¥) card, Jupiter (¦) card, Saturn (§) card, Uranus (¨) card, Neptune (©) card and Pluto (ª) card associated with your day of birth, all of which influence your personality. To better understand what each of these planets symbolize, see Table 4 - What Do The Planets Symbolize?
The following learning aid (Figure 1) will help you to understand this system a little more easily. I'll use the Ace of Hearts (A♥) Birth Card to demonstrate how to use this learning aid and then you can use it to understand your own Birth Card better. In Figure 1, the Ace of Hearts is in the 2nd column from the left and in the 5th row down. Notice that the A♦ is right below the A♥ in the same small rectangular box, like this:
For any Birth Card (in this case the A♥), the card directly underneath the Birth Card is the DISPLACED CARD (in this case the A♦) which represents another facet of ourselves on an inner, spiritual level. Figure 1 - The Playing Card System Learning Aid
The rows are called LINES. The first/top row (K♠, 8♦, 10♣) is called the Crown Line (notice the crown on either side of the row). The 2nd row down is called the Mercury (£) Line, the 3rd row is the Venus ( |
