Core meaning
Twos stand for partnership, cooperation and agreements: two people or two ideas meeting and working together.
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 Two of Diamonds brings partnership to the world of value. It’s the card of “the deal”: a natural negotiator who does best working with others in business and money. Its lesson is easing financial worry and trusting its own resourcefulness.

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.
