May 31 zodiac sign: Gemini, day arcana and character

Born on May 31

Day arcana for May 31 is 4 (The Emperor), not 31, because there are only twenty-two major arcana. The day number is added up digit by digit (3+1); the star sign is Gemini and the month arcana 5 (The Hierophant). There is something you have done every day for years, and the people around you cannot understand how repetition has not killed it for you. The Emperor is not the card anyone expects to find on a Gemini date, and yet here it is, holding up your week.

Where your strength is

You keep promises made only to yourself. That is precisely where nearly everyone fails, because there is no one to report to, and your quiet compliance with your own rules compounds into results that look like talent from outside.

What comes harder

You fit your system onto people who run at other speeds and are honestly puzzled when it does not take.

One thing to try

Do not mention your routines to anyone this week, even if they ask in passing. Just do them.

Frequently asked questions

How does 31 turn into 4?

By adding the digits together: 3+1. The deck does not run past twenty-two, and the same rule applies to every date after the 22nd. Arcana 4 is The Emperor.

What does month arcana 5 mean?

That one is The Hierophant. Think of it as the setting rather than the character - the conditions you grew up inside and did not pick.

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.

A reading in Luna voice

The Emperor and The Hierophant are two of the twenty-two arcana, and the other twenty only open up once the full birth date goes in, free, inside Luna.
