What's the Difference Between Birth Cards and Identifier Cards?

The Tower can be a powerful card to have connected to you. It teaches that if you don't build things right the first time, you might face challenges later on. It’s more about being committed to growth and not hiding from the truths you might want to avoid.

Could someone tell me how to find out what my birth card is? I'd really like to know more about it!

I learned about tarot through Juliet Sharman-Burke’s books, where she connects zodiac signs to court cards. I don’t personally use identifiers because I feel every card in the deck has something to offer, and I'd hate to miss out on some important messages.

For me, the Queen of Cups is my identifier card because I really resonate with it being a blonde female water sign. My birth card is the Hierophant, which I think connects to larger life lessons. They serve different roles: the Queen feels personal and intimate, while the Hierophant guides me on a broader level, helping me break free from old, stubborn beliefs.

It's important to remember that tarot meanings are often subjective. Different cards can represent different aspects of a person during a reading. Your birth card might not always be the defining one; it really depends on the reading and its context. Don’t stress too much about the distinctions between birth and identifier cards, as it can be fluid based on your journey and experiences.

I relate more to the Queen of Swords than my birth card, which doesn’t resonate with me at all. I asked my deck to assign me a card, and it fit perfectly. Now, when I see the Queen of Swords in readings, I definitely pay more attention to it since it feels personal.
