Looking at Celebrity Relationships

/in , , , , /by

Calculating the Composite and Point-of-View Cards are the most basic aspect of card chemistry, and can enable us to take a quick glance at any relationship. Practice is the best way to become familiar with this method, and fortunately, there are thousands of individuals in the public eye for whom we have birth information. These can can furnish us with examples that can be informative, entertaining, and above all helpful is gaining greater experience with Cardology, the Ancient Science of the Cards. For basic instructions on how to find the Composite and POV Cards, see the previous blog entitled “An Introduction to Card Chemistry.” Let’s take a look at a few random examples of public figures in relationships and see what we can glean abouit them from their card chemistry:

1. Amy Winehouse 9-14-83 (10♣/4♦) and Blake Fielder-Civil 4-16-82 (5♦/Q♣): This was a notorious co-dependent relationship that was fuel and fodder for endless gossip and tabloid headlines. Fielder-Civil was accused of introducing Amy Winehouse to hard drugs such as heroin and crack and being partially responsible for her eventual suicide, charges which he vehemently denied.

When we take a look at their Mercury and Venus Composites and their Mercury and Venus Shadow Composites, we find all of them to be in Hearts, which testifies to a very strong emotional connection between the two. Very interesting, however, is the contrast between the Birth Card Composites and the Shadow Composites. The 2♥ and 6♥ Birth Card Composites testify to the extreme closeness and attraction generated by this relationship, but the 3♥ and 9♥ Shadow Composites, are much more ambivalent and cautionary, revealing a destructive tendency underneath the surface.

2. Dean Martin 6-7-17 (10♦/Q♣) and Jerry Lewis 3-26-26 (10♣/7♠). This was another notorious relationship–a close partnership for years, then a break that resulted in total animosity for nearly the rest of their lives.

We see the unmistakable signs of this in the 7♥ Composite Card. It is very typical with this card as a Composite Card that the relationship is originally a close one but eventually breaks down due to the internal stresses built into the card itself. The 5♥ Shadow Venus Composite, puts the seal on this, since this card is very often a divorce card.

3. Harrison Ford  7/13/42 (2♦/2♣) and Carrie Fisher 10/23/56 (A♣/6♣): Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher had a torrid, three-month affair during the filming of Star Wars, unbeknownst to other people in the cast, including Mark Hamill. The affair was totally one-sided, with Carrie Fisher head-over-heels with her older, married co-star, and Harrison Ford treating the whole thing casually.

The doomed nature of the relationship is evident in the 9♣ Venus Composite and J♠ Venus Shadow Composite Cards. The one-sided nature of the relationship is seen in Fisher’s 4♥ POV Card vs. Ford’s 5♣ and her A♥ Shadow POV Card compared to his 10♠. The fact that she viewed Ford almost like a parent is shown by the 4♥ POV Card, as well, since it’s primarily a family card.

4. Jay Leno 4/28/50 (6♣/K♦) and Mavis Nicholson 9/5/46 (6♦/K♥): Married since 1980 (over 40 years). A good example of an enduring marriage.

Here we can see a typical power-couple relationship, with strong Composite and Shadow Composite Cards and evenly matched POV Cards.

5. John McEnroe 2-16-59 (9♦/6♦) and Patty Smyth 6-26-57 (4♣/6♦): Another highly successful celebrity marriage that has lasted over 25 years. These cards are almost a mirror image of the ones for Jay Leno and his wife, with the Composite Kings on the Birth Card side and the Queen and Ten on the Shadow Side.

6. Johnny Cash 2/26 (Q♣/9♠), Vivian Liberto (1st wife) 4/23 (J♣/5♠), and June Carter (2nd wife) 6/23 (7♣/9♦): Before the dreamy romance between Johnny Cash and June Carter took center stage, before their chemistry became so strong that even fans could not look past it, and before Cash and Carter became the king and queen of country music with an enthralling love story to their names, there was another woman in Cash’s life, his first wife, Vivian Liberto. She was pushed so far to the sidelines that people barely remember her ever being in the picture, but she was the one who suffered after Cash’s famous love affair. Liberto later admitted that she never stopped loving Cash. Even after their marriage came to an end, she watched from afar as her husband lived out the rest of his years with Carter.

A so-called Sun/Moon relationship (two Birth Cards that are adjacent within the natural order of the deck) is often the basis for a strong marriage relationship, but the resulting POV Cards will also be adjacent (one odd and one even) and in certain cases, this can be a sign of a fatal weakness in the relationship. In the case of the 9♣ and the 8♣, we have strongly contrasting POV Cards. The 9♣ on Johnny Cash’s side is a card of disappointment and disillusionment, while the 8♣ on Vivian Liberto’s side is a card of fixed-mindedness and fidelity, which explains why she never fell out of love with him.

The intensity of Johnny Cash’s relationship with June Carter, on the other hand, can be explained mainly by the 6♠ Composite Card, which is indicative of a karmic relationship. It’s also bolstered by the close similarity of the 9♠ and 9♦ Shadow Cards.

7. Keith Raniere 8-26-60 (K♥/10♣) and Allison Mack 7-29-82 (Q♥/Q♣): Here we have a relationship of a sex cult master to his slave. The NXIVM co-founder was sentenced to life in prison in 2020 and his protegee pleaded guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering.

In this case, we have another Sun/Moon relationship–two Birth Cards that are adjacent in the natural order of the cards. In these relationships, the high card is always the natural leader and the low card the natural follower. Notice that the Composite Q♣ also matches her Shadow Card. This makes her unconscious self vulnerable to the influence of the relationship with Raniere. Notice also that their Venus Composite matches his Shadow Card. This suggests that their intimacy unlocks the darker aspects of his nature, or that he can gain control over her through sex. Then there is their 9♠ Shadow Composite and A♠ Shadow Venus Composite, both fateful cards that suggest a destructive ending.

8. Martha Stewart 8-3-41 (10♦/7♣) and Snoop Dogg 10-20-71 (2♣/7♣): On the lighter side, here’s an example of two unlikely friends. Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg have little in common culturally, but the chemistry between the pair on the VH1 series Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party was undeniable. The reason is pretty easy to see:

In addition to strong Q♠ and 10♠ Birth Card Composites, they share the same 7♣ Shadow Card, giving them a great deal in common under the surface. Their 8♥ Shadow POV Cards also speak of a strong emotional connection, again under the surface.

9. John Lennon 10/9/40 (K♣/5♦) and Paul McCartney 6/18/42 (Q♣/A♠) compared with Elton John 3-25-47 (J♣/8♣) and Bernie Taupin 5-22-50 (10♣/2♠) compared with Mick Jagger 7-26-43 (2♣/2♦) and Keith Richards 12-18-43 (K♥/K♥): John Lennon and Paul McCartney together represented the most creative force in modern popular music, yet it is well-known that their partnership was more of a competition than a collaboration.

The powerful K♣ and Q♣ Birth Cards, their Q♠ and 10♠ Composites and Q♣  and J♣ POV Cards testify to the tremendous creative potential in the relationship. However, in the Sun/Moon relationship between the K♣ and Q♣ Birth Cards, John Lennon’s K♣ was the natural leader, and when this was challenged by Paul McCartney, competition and later conflict ensued. The potential for conflict is also seen in the J♠ and 7♥ Shadow POV Cards, the J♠ being a fundamentally untrustworthy card and the 7♥ a card in which emotional investment is often not rewarded. Finally, the 5♥ Shadow Venus Composite is a card of eventual divorce or separation.

If we look at another songwriting duo, Elton John and Bernie Taupin, we see a similarly dynamic Sun/Moon relationship with only slightly lower value cards: the J♣ and 10♣ instead of the K♣ and Q♣. The difference was that Elton John and Bernie Taupin had a clear division of labor. Elton John was the natural leader in the relationship and this was not challenged by Bernie Taupin, who simply contributed the lyrics. The relationship is not quite as high-powered, but is considerably more stable with the 10♥ and 4♦ in the Shadow Composite positions.

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards also are a songwriting team, but here the dynamic is quite different. Instead of being built on a Sun/Moon relationship, it’s built on Twos, which are cooperation and partnership cards, in the initial Composite positions.

While this relationship may be less potent creatively, it’s nevertheless much steadier and potentially much more long-lasting. The 2♦ and 2♠ as Composite and Shadow Composite Cards are both cards of partnership and cooperation, while the two Sixes in the Venus Composite and Venus Shadow Composite positions are both cards that tend to be stable and enduring.

10. Pete Davidson 11/16/93 (4♣/6♣) and Ariana Grande 6/26/93 (4♣/6♦): This is the case of a couple that got engaged and broke their engagement in the same year, so we expect to see some volatility in their card chemistry.

What we see is identical 4♣ Birth Cards and very similar 6♣/6♦ Shadow Cards, so this is a case of two fundamentally similar individuals attracted to one another. The volatility can be seen in the untrustworthy J♠ as the Venus Composite, as well as the 5♣ and 5♦ Shadow POV Cards.

11. Woody Allen 12-1-19(4♦/4♥) and Dylan Farrow 7/11/85 (4♦/4♣): No one, aside from Woody Allen himself, knows what happened between him and Dylan Farrow on August 4,. 1992–whether he really molested her, and if so, what the molestation actually consisted of. But it’s clear that he had an unhealthy fixation with his adoptive daughter and had evinced a pattern of grossly inappropriate behavior with her that long preceded the alleged assault.

There is a great deal in their card chemistry that confirms this. First of all, they have identical 4♦ Birth Cards and similar 4♥ and 4♣ Shadow Cards, so in terms of card chemistry there was a deep commonality between them, and Woody undoubtedly picked up on this and this was the main impetus for the unhealthy fixation he developed for her. Their 8♥ Composite Card is one of intense feeling, even passion, and their 8♣ Shadow Composite can be a card of mental fixation and obsession. The four Queens as POV Cards emphasize the feminine principle at play in the relationship, and the two Jacks as Venus Composites testify to the immaturity and potential for deception, at the heart of the bond between them.

12. Prince William 6-21-82 (9♣/J♦) and Prince Harry 9-15-84 (9♣/3♦): Although these brothers are said to have been very close growing up, they have apparently grown apart. The reason is not hard to see in their card chemistry:

Here again, we have a case of identical Birth Cards, this time the 9♣, which testifies to the initial closeness of the relationship. But then we have a 5♠ Composite Card, which is all about change and distancing, and A♣ POV Cards, which indicate increasing independence from one another. The A♣ POV Cards are mirrored again in the A♣ Shadow Composite.

I hope that these examples give you some idea of how the most basic Card Chemistry techniques of finding the Composite and POV Cards can be used to do a quick snapshot analysis of any relationship and the way in which celebrity relationships can be used to gain insight and valuable practice in this aspect of Cardology, the Ancient Science of the Cards.

An Introduction to Card Chemistry

/in , /by

karma-seeker card chemistry imageThis is an introduction to Card Chemistry, which is a branch of Cardology–a system based on the symbols of an ordinary pack of playing cards, detailed in my book: Card Chemistry: The Secret Science of Relationships. Everyone has a Birth Card based on the calendar date on which they were born. The easiest way to find your Birth Card is by using the chart on the About Cardology page of this website. There is also a simple arithmetical method: Take the number of the month you were born and double it by two. Then add the number of the day you were born. Then subtract the sum from 55 and look up the resulting number according to the natural order of the cards: A♥ to K♥ = 1-13; A♣ to K♣ = 14-26; A♦ to K♦ = 27-39, and A♠ to K♠ = 40-52.

For instance, if your birth date is August 16, you would take the number for the month of August, which is 8 and double it to 16, then add 16 to 16 to get 32, and then subtract 32 from 55, which equals 23. The number 23 corresponds to the 10♣, so that is the Birth Card for August 16.

There are no good and bad Birth Cards. Each Birth Card has a complex nature based on a number of other cards associated with it. Card chemistry, however, deals specifically with relationships. For this purpose, we need only interpret the cards based on their suit and face value. While every card has both positive and negative qualities, in this context some cards can be interpreted more positively or auspiciously, others are more neutral, and still others can be interpreted as more negative or cautionary.

Why is this true? To begin with, we can differentiate between odd and even face values. Even face values represent stability, while odd face values represent change, obstacles, and challenges. Odd face values tend to be interpreted more negatively in the context of relationships than even ones. Why? Because the human state of consciousness values stability more than it values challenge and change. Challenges and change are necessary for life, but they are rarely welcomed by the human state of consciousness.

What do we look for in relationships? In general, we look for relationships that will last, that will support us, that will be pleasing to us. We don’t intentionally look for relationships that will be difficult, challenging, or unstable, even if this might benefit us in the long run.

The higher the face value of the card, the more powerful the positive or negative influence. Eights and Tens are the most auspicious face values, Sevens and Nines the most cautionary. Jacks are also highly suspect cards, because they represent spiritual immaturity and are thus often not trustworthy. Spades are the most powerful suit, while Diamonds tend to be the most neutral for relationships.

In general, the meanings of the suits are as follows: Hearts have to do with love, feelings, and emotions. Thus, they are the most pertinent cards in any kind of personal relationship, whether between friends, a married couple, or members of an immediate family.

Clubs generally have to do with the mental realm, which includes learning, teaching, communication, or developing any kind of plan. They will be relevant to any kind of relationship that involves an exchange of knowledge or information. Clubs are not only inquiring, but also competitive, so they also are pertinent to sports.

Diamonds have to do with money, property, finances, and values in general. They are of greatest relevance in relationships that involve either material things, finances, or higher values.

Finally, Spades are the highest suit, and have to do with work, health, or wisdom. They govern relationships with co-workers and health practitioners, but they are also the action suit and are pertinent to any case in which action needs to be taken.

The face values generally follow common-sense associations with the numbers. Aces, as you might suspect, are very independent, with strong leadership qualities. On the negative side, they can be lonely, as well as dogmatic. Twos represent cooperation and partnership, but they also have a certain degree of instability built into them. They represent a delicate balance that can be easily upset, but also easily re-established. Threes represent birth which results from the union of two, and hence also creativity. At the same time, they represent indecisiveness because they are a reaction against the principle of twos. They see duality everywhere, and this means that for them making choices can be difficult.

Fours represent stability. Fives represent change. Sixes represent lack of change, static conditions, and karmic or fated conditions. Sevens represent difficulties, obstacles, faith, and spiritual perspective. Eights represent concentrated attention, hence power. Nines represent conclusions and endings. Tens represent achievement and success.

Jacks represent immature mastery, and are therefore cards that cannot necessarily be trusted. Queens represent intuitive mastery and Kings represent masculine authority.

Since Hearts are the suit of the emotions, they are therefore most relevant in any love relationship. The Ace of Hearts represents the desire for, but not necessarily the achievement of a relationship. The Two of Hearts is the love affair card, par excellence. The Three of Hearts is a card of sociability, ambivalence in love, or a love triangle.

The Four of Hearts is a family card. The Five of Hearts is a card of separation in love, and often a card of divorce. The Six of Hearts is a card of karmic or fated relationships, responsibility in relationships, or lack of change in a relationship. The Seven of Hearts is a card of difficulties or challenges in love, as well as of spiritual love. The Eight of Hearts is a card of passion, which can also turn to hate. The Nine of Hearts is a card of endings in relationships, but also a card of empathy. The Ten of Hearts is a card of universal love, or relationships involving large groups of people.

The Jack of Hearts is the card of a “player” when it comes to relationships. The Queen of Hearts is a card of idealized femininity, motherhood, and sex. The King of Hearts is a card of friendship or paternal love.

There is not enough space here to go through the meanings of the individual cards in the Clubs, Diamonds, and Spades suits, but they follow the same common-sense logical pattern as those in the Hearts suit, but applied to their respective domains of Knowledge, Learning, and Communication, Money, Finances, and Higher Values, and Work, Health, and Wisdom.

There are several methods and techniques used in Card Chemistry, but the simplest and most basic calculation we can make is to find the Composite Card between any two people. We do this by simply adding the Solar Values of their respective Birth Cards together. The resulting Composite Card, which can also be called the Mercury Card, is the most basic way to represent a relationship. It represents the energy or dynamic of the relationship, or the way in which two people communicate with one another.

If, for instance, we wish to calculate the Composite Card for a 10♣ and a 3♠, we add their Solar Values, which are 23 and 42, of which the sum is 65. For any sum over 52, we subtract 52. If we subtract 52 from 65, we get 13. This is the Solar Value of the K♥, so this is the Composite Card. In terms of personal relationships, this is a good card for friendship.

We can go farther and add the value of the Composite Card back to those of the two Birth Cards to get two separate Point-of-View Cards. These represent the point-of-view or perspective of each individual toward the relationship, or how the relationship empowers each of them.

In the case of the relationship between the 10♣ and 3♠, if we add back the value of the Composite K♥ to the 10♣ and the 3♠, and get the 10♦ and 3♥, respectively.

If the relationship in question were one that involved finances, then it would tend to be very beneficial for the 10♣ individual with the 10♦ POV Card. If it was a personal relationship that did not involve finances, the 10♦ POV card would be fairly neutral, since Diamonds tend to be neutral in personal relationships. For the 3♠ individual in a personal relationship, the 3♥ POV card would be a somewhat ambivalent card, which might lead to conflicting feelings over time.

If this were a casual relationship, such as with a friend, a co-worker, an advisor of some type, or even a sibling or parent, this is probably as far as we need to go. However, if we were dealing with an intimate relationship such as a lover or spouse that demanded deeper investigation, we could continue further with this process using the Card Chemistry Calculator system, which assigns interpretations to a number of additional Composite and POV Cards, as follows:

The POV Cards can be added together to create a second Composite Card, also known as the Venus Composite, which represents the force of attraction between the two. This second Composite Card can be added back to the Birth Cards to create a second set of POV Cards known as the Point of Weakness cards, which represent the point of weakness in the relationship.

These cards can be added together to create a third Composite Card, known as the Mars Composite, which represents any conflict that exists between the pair. The Mars Composite can be added back to the Birth Cards to create a third set of POV Cards known as the Conflict Resolution cards, which indicate how the conflict may be resolved.

These cards can be added together to create a fourth Composite Card, known as the Jupiter Composite, which represents the ultimate purpose of the relationship. The Jupiter Composite can be added back to the Birth Cards to create a fourth set or POV Cards called the Ultimate Benefit Cards.

Finally, these cards can be added together to produce a fifth Composite Card known as the Saturn Composite, which represents the final result of the relationship.
