Core meaning
Sixes stand for responsibility, balance and cause and effect. They’re about fairness, keeping promises and reaping what you sow.
Diamonds is the suit of values: money, work, resources and what you consider worth having. It’s usually linked with the element of Earth and the tarot suit of Pentacles.
The Six of Diamonds brings responsibility and balance to the world of value. It’s about fairness with money: paying what’s owed, keeping things balanced and giving as much as it gets. Its lesson is taking responsible action rather than letting things drift.

The birth card is one part of Cardology
Your birth card is just one indicator in Cardology. The full system also looks at a planetary ruling card, which is a second card based on your star sign, and at Karma Cards, which are linked with lessons you’re working through and gifts you bring with you. It also uses spreads, where the whole deck is laid out in a traditional pattern. These give a set of life path cards that stay with you for life, and a new yearly spread each birthday, with a specific card for each 52-day period plus long-range and result cards. Cardology can also compare two people’s cards to describe how they connect.
These aren’t covered on this website. Here you’ll find your birth card, your planet year and the dates of your 52-day periods, but not the specific cards that fall in them. To explore the rest, look for a full Cardology reference, such as Robert Lee Camp’s books.
