Here are straightforward answers to the questions that come up most often. If yours is not here, the beginner's guide goes into more detail.
What is the Destiny Matrix?
It is a chart of 22 energies calculated from your date of birth. Each energy has the name and the meaning of a major arcana card of the tarot, and each position in the chart relates to a different area of your life.
What is the difference between the Destiny Matrix and the Matrix of Destiny?
None. They are two names for the same method.
How do I calculate my Destiny Matrix?
Enter your day, month and year of birth in the Destiny Matrix calculator. It does the arithmetic and draws the chart at once.
Do I need my time and place of birth?
No. The Destiny Matrix uses only the date.
Is the calculator free?
Yes. The chart and every number in it are free, and you do not need to sign up.
Who created the Destiny Matrix?
It is usually credited to the Russian numerologist Natalia Ladini, who published it in 2006. Other teachers have adapted it since.
Why do different calculators give different charts?
There is no single official version. Teachers draw the chart and calculate some positions a little differently. The main points, such as the day, month, year and the center, are usually the same.
What are the 22 energies?
They are the numbers from 1 to 22, named after the 22 major arcana: the Magician, the High Priestess, the Empress, the Emperor, the Hierophant, the Lovers, the Chariot, Justice, the Hermit, the Wheel of Fortune, Strength, the Hanged Man, Death, Temperance, the Devil, the Tower, the Star, the Moon, the Sun, Judgement, the World and the Fool.
Why is 8 Justice and 11 Strength?
The Destiny Matrix follows the order in which Justice is 8 and Strength is 11. Some tarot decks use the opposite order.
What is the core in the Destiny Matrix?
It is the center of the chart, where you feel at home. Many readers look at it first.
What is the karmic tail?
It is a set of three numbers at the bottom of the chart that describe a pattern you carried in. Read more in the guide to the karmic tail.
Is a number such as 13, 15 or 16 bad?
No. Death, the Devil and the Tower describe change, desire and breakthrough. Each has a gift and a shadow, like every other energy.
What do the love line and the money channel mean?
They are two positions in the chart that describe how you love and how money reaches you. See the guides to the love line and the money channel.
What is the purpose by age?
It is a set of three numbers for three stages of life: from 20 to 40, from 40 to 60 and after 60. Read more in the guide to purpose by age.
Can I check compatibility with a partner?
Yes, by comparing two charts. The guide to Destiny Matrix compatibility explains how.
How accurate is the Destiny Matrix?
It is a tool for reflection and not a scientific measurement. Many people recognize themselves in some positions and not in others. Use it to ask better questions about your own life.
Can the Destiny Matrix predict the future?
No. It describes patterns and themes, not events.
Is the Destiny Matrix the same as numerology?
They are related but different. Read Destiny Matrix vs numerology and tarot.
Is the Destiny Matrix safe to use?
It is safe as a reflective tool. It is not medical, legal or financial advice and should not replace professional help or be used to make important decisions on its own.
Does the calculator keep my date of birth?
No. The free calculator works out the chart in your browser and does not ask for your name or an email address. Your date stays in your own browser so that you can come back to it, and we only store a date of birth if you give it when you create an account or order a reading.
Is the Destiny Matrix a religion?
No. It is a system for reflection that uses numbers and the images of the major arcana. You do not need to hold any belief to use it, and it fits alongside any religion or none.
Can I calculate a chart for a child?
Yes, the method works for any date of birth. Many parents read their child's chart to understand their temperament and talents, using it as a way to listen better and not to set limits.
What does it mean when the same number appears several times?
An energy that appears in more than one place is a strong theme in your life. Read its page carefully, in each position where it appears, and notice how the same energy plays out in different areas.
How is the energy of a year found?
Add the digits of the year and reduce the result to a number up to 22. For 2027 it is 2 + 0 + 2 + 7 = 11, which is Strength. See the guide to the energy of the year for the next ten years.
Where can I read about each energy?
Every one of the 22 energies has its own page with its strengths, shadow, role in love and money, and meaning in each position of the chart. Start from the list of energies.
