Can anyone help?

[Jessica]

​

I have done tarot for several months now, however, I am just getting into the numerology aspect of it. I have looked at three websites at the definitions of the meaning of 1 thru 9 and each is different. Can someone help me with a really good cheat sheet that I could use that I can research with? Also, is there a number 0? I ask since there is a number 0 card, the Fool?

I’d suggest you find one method to learn and just stick with that instead of googling meanings from different sources. Correspondences take time to get down, and yours will almost certainly change as you learn and develop your tarot practice. So it’s better to work with one consistent list for at least a few months, even if that list isn’t perfect, before trying to jump to a different number system.

It’s entirely possible that the people who wrote the lists you came across have been studying tarot for years and are all getting solid results despite their differing approaches. But having said that, pretty much anyone can set up a website and present themselves as a tarot expert. Every site you come across isn’t necessarily worth trusting.

If you have a solid source that you feel comfortable relying on, preferably one that you’ve seen recommended by a fair number of more experienced readers, stick with them and only refer to their correspondences until you have those down. Once you’re totally solid on that first set of number correspondences, you’ll have gained enough experience with your deck to help you either tweak things or evaluate an entirely different system.

If you’re still looking for one overall guide on the subject, I’d recommend [Benebell Wen’s website](https://benebellwen.com/) as a source of solid, well-researched info. If you can afford a copy of her Holistic Tarot book, it’s amazing for tarot readers of all levels. Don’t be intimidated by how chunky it is because it’s easy enough to skip around and tackle the subjects you feel ready for. She offers [study guides for the book](https://benebellwen.com/about-the-book/holistic-tarot-supplements/) to help folks work with it, and one of the things she links from there is a [guide to elemental and numerological correspondences](https://benebellwen.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/bellwen-elemental-and-numerological-correspondences-quick-guide.pdf) for tarot that you may find helpful.

Best way is to make one yourself….

Spread out all your pip cards in a grid, then look at the similar themes in each row. For me Aces speak to beginnings and potentials, 2s to choices, 3s to growth, 4s to rest and so on.

The zero is both the beginning and the end, alpha and omega, it is chosen deliberately to be the bridge between the ending of one cycle and the beginning of another. Letting us know that every single ending is another beginning.
