The Fascinating Unexpected Truth About Tarot Numerology I Could No Longer Ignore
We’re mid-podcast interview when I ask the host if she knows her soul number.
“No, actually. I have no idea.”
“Would you like me to calculate it right here?”
“Yes. I’d love that.”
I do the math. Her soul number is 8.
I tell her: in Tarot Numerology, 8 is the Strength card.
She goes quiet for a second. Then she smiles. And she says:
“I tattooed the Strength card on my body.”
Both our jaws drop before we break out in a laugh that feels completely freeing, like the universe just winked at us. 😁
She’s a therapist. And her soul number is Strength. I mean, of course it is.
The Strength card reflects inner resilience. Compassion for yourself and others during hard seasons. A quiet, steady presence that holds space for discomfort without flinching. That’s what a great therapist does. She literally is that for so many people navigating their most uncertain, tender moments.
(And for what it’s worth, Strength is one of my two life numbers too. So maybe it takes one to know one. 😉)
It’s as if she resonated with that energy so deeply, felt it so much as her own, that she tattooed it on her body as a reminder. And her soul number confirmed exactly what she’d already been living.
Something I can’t explain, and also can’t deny.
That’s the fascinating, unexpected truth at the heart of tarot numerology: your intuition already knows. It's been knowing. Long before anyone gives it a name or a number.
When I enrolled in the Tarot and Numerology certification courses, my intention was simple: improve my intuition for myself.
I’d been practicing intuition professionally for decades. As a holistic pediatrician, I’ve spent years tuning into children who can’t speak. Learning to sense what’s really underneath the surface when a family comes in struggling. Reading a room. Reading a body. Feeling into what’s present rather than waiting for someone to put it into words. 🩺
Intuition for others? That’s just Tuesday.
But turning it inward, toward my own life, my own patterns, my own quietly running beliefs on the daily? That was my next level. So I enrolled. And what I found on the other side still surprises me.
✦ Unlock the Hidden Intuitive Power You’ve Always Had
Your intuition speaks to you your entire life. Just in a language you may not recognize yet, even though you’ve been using it forever.
For example:
You walk into a room after an argument you weren’t even present for, and you feel it immediately. The air is different. Something is off. No one has to tell you anything. 😶🌫️
You think of a friend out of nowhere, and ten minutes later she calls.
That’s the feeling language. And a tarot card speaks it fluently.
And here’s the unexpected truth most women never get told: you don’t need more intuition. You need a way back to the one you’ve always had. And a tarot card is the perfect bridge.
Most women I work with are so in relationship with their intellect (thinking, analyzing, planning, solving) that they’ve quietly lost the thread to that other way of knowing. So when a woman looks at a card and something shifts, it’s her subconscious mind finally getting a question it knows how to answer.
And here’s what that actually looks like in a session: ✨
A woman looks at a card. Really looks at it. And something shifts somewhere deep. Maybe her eyes well up. Maybe her mouth breaks into a smile that spreads across her whole face. Maybe she goes quiet in a way that feels like a long exhale, like she’s finally able to put down something she’s been carrying around for far too long. 😮💨
And then she says something out loud that she somehow already knows to be true, even though she’s never let herself say it. Something she buried a long time ago just climbs back up into the light. Recognized. Named. Finally seen.
That kind of truth feels like yours. Because it has been yours the whole time.
A tarot card shows you something you already know and gives you just enough stillness to finally let yourself feel your truth.
Twenty-five years in medicine taught me this: change the input, and you change the output. If it’s true for a child’s body, it’s true for a woman’s inner world. Tarot Numerology gives the subconscious mind a new question to answer, and what surfaces is the pattern that’s been quietly running your life.
Once you can see the pattern, feel its undeniable truth, you can choose to keep it or toss it. Your choice. ⭐️
✦ The Fascinating Truth About Why Tarot Numerology Isn’t Mainstream Yet
When I share with people that I use tarot in my coaching practice, I brace for the reaction. And honestly? It’s all over the map.
There's the wide-eyed 'Wow, that's amazing!' And yes, also the tight-lipped 'huh... interesting' followed by a very quick subject change.
But here's what I've also discovered: therapists use tarot in their practices too. Quietly. Without much fanfare. It’s just not mainstream yet.
Which is so perfectly, hilariously on-brand for me. 🤣
Of course the holistic pediatrician turned coach, the one who spent 25 years practicing integrative medicine while most of the medical world was still catching up, finds the not-yet-mainstream tool for coaching.
The fascinating truth is that tarot numerology works precisely because it bypasses the thinking mind.
Our culture is deeply, almost religiously committed to the thinking mind. We reward logic. We trust analysis. We promote the people who can build the spreadsheet, make the argument, show the data. 📊
The feeling language? We’re never really taught to trust it. Which is exactly why so many women over 40 arrive at this work feeling like something is missing. Their intuition never left them. Maybe no one ever handed them the key. 💛
Some of us were just built to be a little ahead of the curve. And if you’ve ever felt that way too, drawn to something you couldn’t fully explain, trusting a knowing before you had the words for it, I have a feeling tarot numerology is going to feel less like something new, and a lot more like coming home.
Just like that therapist, sitting across from me on a podcast, staring at a number that confirms what she’s already been living and wearing on her skin.
Your version of that moment is waiting too.
