The Numerology of Tarot Every card in a Tarot deck has an numerological association. These numbers are based on the principles of numerology and represent a material and spiritual evolutionary process that begins with the number 1 and ends with the number 9. The key for when you hit the double digits is to break them down to a single digit by adding them together. For example: The Wheel of Year is labeled 10. To find its associations you would add 1+0=1. Its association is 1. Here is a breakdown of the associations as found in "Tarot Made Easy" by Nancy Garen. Esoteric meanings are the hidden or underlying message; the mundane is the everyday occurrences and the third section is what it means when you draw multiple cards of the same number.
