Destiny matrix methodology

Every number of the destiny matrix is a sum of earlier numbers, brought back to 22 or less. This page gives each step of the formula, the rules for couples and the karmic tail, and how the statistics are counted.

The base points

The chart starts from a date of birth. Point A, the personality, is the day; a day above 22 is replaced by the sum of its digits, so 26 becomes 2 + 6 = 8. Point B, the talents, is the month as it is, from 1 to 12. Point C, the material karma, is the sum of the digits of the year, reduced in the same way: 1999 gives 28, then 10.

Point D, the karmic tail, is A + B + C. The centre E, the comfort zone, is A + B + C + D. A sum of 22 or less is left alone, so 22 stays 22; a larger sum is replaced by the sum of its digits. Every later step uses the same rule. Four corner points complete the square: F = A + B, G = B + C, I = C + D and H = D + A.

Worked example, 26 November 1999: A = 8, B = 11, C = 10, D = 8 + 11 + 10 = 29, reduced to 11, and E = 8 + 11 + 10 + 11 = 40, reduced to 4.

Lines and purposes

Each of the eight outer points P (A, B, C, D, F, G, H, I) has two inner numbers on its line to the centre: x1 = P + E, which sits next to the centre, and x2 = P + x1, which sits closer to the edge.

Purposes are sums along the axes. The sky line is B + D and the earth line is A + C; the personal purpose is sky + earth. The male ancestral line is F + I and the female one is G + H; the social purpose is male + female. The spiritual purpose is personal + social, and the planetary purpose is social + spiritual.

The money channel

The channel starts from two inner numbers next to the centre: D1 = D + E, the comfort number, and C1 = C + E. The love point is D1 + C1. The money point is the love point + C1. Both are reduced by the same rule.

The chakra table

The table has seven rows, from the crown down to the base, and three columns: physics, energy and emotions. In every row emotions is the sum of the other two. The top row is A and B. The next two rows take the x2 and then the x1 numbers of lines A and B. The fourth row adds E to those x1 numbers, the middle row is E and E, the sixth row is C1 and D1, and the bottom row is C and D. A final line adds each column.

The chakras are only names for the rows. The table says nothing about anyone's body or health.

The age ring

Eight main points stand every ten years: A at birth, F at 10, B at 20, G at 30, C at 40, I at 50, D at 60 and H at 70, then back to A at 80. Between two neighbours, seven more numbers come from repeated addition: first the sum of the two (the middle, five years in), then the sums of the middle with each end, then the sums of every pair of neighbours. The seven numbers sit 1.25 years apart.

Arcana numbering

The numbers 1 to 22 follow the Marseille order of the major arcana: 8 is Justice, 11 is Strength and 22 is the Fool. The Rider-Waite deck swaps 8 and 11, and the site does not follow it. The Fool is 22 and not 0, so the scale has no zero.

The couple chart

For two dates, the chart of each person is built first. Then every position is added to the same position of the other chart (A with A, each x1 with the other x1, each purpose with the other purpose) and the sum is reduced to 22 or less. The couple's purposes are sums of the two purposes, not a new calculation from the summed base points.

How the karmic tail is read

The tail is the line of point D: x1 = D + E, x2 = D + x1, and D itself. It is written from the centre outward as x1-x2-D, for example 18-9-9, and read in that order, from the number nearest the comfort zone to the one at the edge. Dates between 1900 and 2100 produce 26 different tails. The site describes each as a task to think about, not as a fate.

For the same date the tail is x1 = 11 + 4 = 15 and x2 = 11 + 15 = 26, reduced to 8, so it reads 15-8-11.

How the statistics are counted

Every calendar date from 1 January 1940 to 31 December 2015, 27,759 dates, is run through the formula once. The share of an arcana in a position is the number of dates that give it divided by 27,759. These are shares of dates, not of people: births are not spread evenly over the calendar, and the site holds no birth data.

A second pass over every date from 1900 to 2100, 73,414 dates, shows which arcana can occur in which position at all and which 26 tails exist.

What the site does not claim

The site does not predict events or dates and does not say what will happen in a life. It gives no medical, financial, legal or psychological advice. A karmic tail is a theme to think about, not a debt or a sentence. If a decision matters, take it to a qualified professional, not to a chart.
