Personality and soul cards

[corvus]

My personality card is 10, which is The Wheel of Fortune. My soul card is the Magician.

I have heard before, how you find these cards. To find your personality card, add your month, day and year of birth together. Add the result together until a number between 1 and 21 is reached.

The Lotus Pond has an example: May 10, 1977 is 5+10+1977 = 1992 = 1+9+9+2 = 21

You find your soul card by reducing the number of your personality card to a single digit number.

Example: 21 is 2+1 = 3

What interests me are the meanings of the personality and soul cards. I just can't understand how my personality is similar to The Wheel of Fortune card. And the Magician? No idea. My near relative's personality card is also The Wheel of Fortune, and her personality is different from me in several ways. So what is common in all Wheels of Fortune? Or Magicians?

Also, is number eight the equivalent of Justice and number 11 Strength, or the other way round, when you think about personality cards?

Hm, I haven't really heard of the personality/soul card thing before. The numerological method I learned was that you add month, day and year of birth together, and reduce until you find something within 1-21, which wasn't expressly referred to as the personality card, but seems to function in the same manner. (This gives me the High Priestess.)

Then I learned you do the same thing for your most recent birthday -- day, month and year, to find out what sort of year you are currently in. I find it helpful, just to get a sense of what's currently important and areas to focus on/where there might be difficulties. (My current year seems to be Hierophant, with this method)

I also like that with the second card, things are a little less static.
