Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2006

Once a powerful tool for time keeping and divination, an ordinary deck of playing cards hides the keys to humankind's destiny within its sacred numbers and symbols. In CARDS OF DESTINY, the mystical science of the playing cards is combined with the ancient power of the calendar to reveal the universal influences ruling each day of the year.

Use the birthday chart to locate the playing card associated with a particular birth date, then read the detailed description of that card's characteristics to gain insight into one's own true nature as well as the personalities of friends and lovers.

Featuring full-color reproductions of playing cards dating back to the nineteenth century, a place to record the birthdays of friends and family, and a perpetual calendar summarizing the energetic influences of the cards on a day-to-day basis, CARDS OF DESTINY is a powerful tool for self-discovery, fulfillment, and success.

The Cards of Destiny is an amazing system of divination. Anyone interested in learning about themselves, their relationships, and their destiny should read this book.

I read it everyday and I use it everytime I meet someone and want to understand them better. It's an essential part of my life now.

This book is absolutely lovely, from cover to cover. I would recommend it for no other reason than it's truly original in its writing. When you become a student of the cards, you try to read all that you can, from every author. Unfortunately, most authors print descriptions of the cards that are variations of each other and you find yourself reading the same thing over and over again, not learning much (if anything) new. Not to mention that some birth card descriptions can be depressing and after you've read about yourself, you're left feeling doomed - facing a life of misery.

Sharon Jeffers has presented each birthcard in her own unique style. Her book is exceptionally well-written and completely different from every other book on the subject. Her descriptions of each birth date are cheerful, optimistic and informative. I would recommend her book for the writing alone, the fact that it's also very pleasing to the eye is just an added bonus. It is truly amazing just how accurate this 'card system' is when describing personality traits. In this book, the author has captured each individuals nature beautifully.

It makes a wonderful gift - not just for the student of the cards but anyone who is searching for insight into themselves, curious about their relationships or just for fun.
