LunaWhere your strength is
You keep a tradition alive rather than preserved. You change what has stopped working and keep what the whole thing was for, and that is why the younger ones have something to remember.
What comes harder
You maintain the tradition even in a year when it is hard on everyone and nobody asked.
One thing to try
Ask the family what part of the tradition they actually care about. Then cancel the rest this year.

Frequently asked questions
How many arcana are there altogether?
Twenty-two major arcana. This page uses two of them, the ones drawn from the day and the month; the full calculation brings in the birth year as well and fills considerably more positions.
The date is 23 but the arcana is 5 - is that wrong?
No, that is how the count works. The major arcana stop at twenty-two, so anything above it folds down by adding the digits: 2+3 = 5, that is The Hierophant.
What does month arcana 12 mean?
That one is The Hanged Man. Think of it as the setting rather than the character - the conditions you grew up inside and did not pick.
The destiny matrix is a language for self-reflection, not a prediction. The choices stay yours.
