On this episode, I'm sharing something I use almost every day but rarely talk about: the Cards of Destiny, also known as the Order of the Magi. If you listened to my conversation with Kelly Gores, you heard us laughing about both being Jacks, and a lot of you had questions about what that meant. So I wanted to go deeper.

Here's the basics: based on your birthday alone (no birth time needed), you are one of 52 playing cards. Just like your natal chart, this card carries energy that helps direct your life. I walk you through every suit, every number card from Ace to Ten, and every face card so you can understand what your card means and how that energy shows up in your world. I also share how I use this system daily, and how it even works in relationships, where you and another person create an entirely new card together.

This is one of my favorite tools for self understanding, and I think you are going to love it.

Topics Covered:

What the Cards of Destiny system is and how it connects to the Tarot
Why Jill is covering this topic (follow up from the Kelly Gores episode and listener questions about Jacks)
The four suits and what they represent: Hearts (love, younger energy), Clubs (the mental realm), Diamonds (value, money, resources, fire), Spades (wisdom, water)
How the suits connect to the elements: Spades = water, Clubs = air, Diamonds = fire, Hearts = a grounding/earth quality
The energy of every number card from Ace through Ten, paired with suit examples
How energy moves through the deck: coming together and splitting apart in a rhythm
Face cards: Jacks (the choice between rising to royalty, checking out, or taking the middle path toward enlightenment), Queens (ruling through service), and Kings (ruling through power and mastery)
Relationship cards: how two people create a third card together, and how adding a child changes the family card
Every day is also governed by a card, and how Jill uses this system daily
How to look up your own card using Sharon Jeffers' website (only need your birthday, no birth time required)
