Personal Significators
⚝The Taroscopic System is an esoteric framework that unites Astrology, Tarot, Kabbalah, and Numerology into a single, coherent method of divination. At its core lie the Decanates and Personal Significators - concepts rarely discussed in conventional Tarot literature, yet essential for accurate and meaningful readings.
Significators function as a personal chart, revealing character, destiny, and life cycles with a depth comparable to an astrological horoscope. Personal Significators are Tarot cards that specifically represent an individual. They act as symbolic “personal mandalas,” encoding both positive and challenging aspects of personality, as well as broader patterns of fate.
The importance of Significators became evident through long-term observation. When reviewing past Tarot readings, it was discovered that Personal Significator cards frequently appeared in spreads, often in prominent positions, without being recognized as such by readers. As a result, much vital information was overlooked.
This insight led to the understanding that only a fraction of a reading's potential meaning is accessed when Significators are ignored. In professional practice, a Taroscopic Chart is created for each client prior to a reading. This process identifies their Personal Significators, which are then expected to emerge during the session.
When Significators appear in readings, they offer direct and highly specific insight. In fact, readings can be performed using Significators alone, without traditional spreads, making them especially valuable for beginners and advanced practitioners alike.
There are three primary reasons Significators are indispensable: First, they reveal essential information about character and destiny. Second, they consistently appear in key positions within spreads, acting as markers that demand attention. Third, they function as navigational tools within readings, greatly enhancing accuracy and coherence.
Personal Significators are derived by converting key astrological and numerological data into Tarot archetypes. These include the Star Sign (linked to the Major Arcana), the Astrological Decanate (linked to the Minor Arcana), the Life Number, Day Number, Destiny Number, and relevant Court Cards.
The Tarot, in this sense, becomes a true “Book of Life,” with each person reflected directly within the deck rather than merely interpreted through abstract spreads.
Astrological Sign
☉Your Star Sign is linked to the Major Arcana and represents your birth month sign. This card would be most familiar to those who practice astrology.
Life Number
∞The Life Number reveals cards that share your numerological root, numbers that reduce to the same single digit are spiritually connected, forming a chain of meaning through the Major Arcana.
Day Number
☾THe Day Number is the card from the Major Arcana that corresponds to the day of your birth. If you are born on the 21st, your Day Number is the World card. If you are born on the 23rd you can reduce the double to its single digit (2+3=5), making your Day Number the Hierophant..
Decanate
⚶The Decanate divides each zodiac sign into three ten-degree segments, each ruled by a different planetary influence and connected to specific Minor Arcana cards. This card is very important as it represents a granular breakdown of your zodiac sign - pertaining to week of birth.
Your Chart
✧Together, these cards form a symbolic profile unique to each individual. Crucially, the interpretation of Significators rests on number, element, and decanate - not on the literal imagery or names of the cards.
Apparent “positive” or “negative” imagery does not determine character or worth. When understood correctly, Significators transform Tarot from a generalized fortune-telling tool into a precise and deeply personal system of insight.
