The Synastry deck: art and reading method
The website and app share one original monochrome deck, with the same card names, meanings and reflection questions.
Go deeper: the full reference
Original artwork
The card backs use Synastry’s existing circular design. Major Arcana fronts use layered circles and geometric stars. Minor Arcana use the same wand, cup, sword and pentacle forms, with a crown treatment for court cards. The illustrations are original Synastry artwork, shared with the app.
What the artwork does and does not encode
Some cards share geometric motifs, so read the printed name and number together. Use the name to find the card’s upright and reversed meanings, then bring the reflection question into your reading.
Original interpretation, visible method
Names, keywords and reflection questions match the app. The website expands them with original Synastry upright and reversed explanations. A random draw does not use personal data to infer a private fact. Birth-card associations use the separately documented date calculation.
Bring the card into a reading
Begin with one question and read the card’s theme in its spread position. For a birth-card lesson, compare the separately calculated cards in your numerology profile.
Method and context
Card interpretations and artwork are original Synastry work. These references support the historical context and the separately disclosed birth-card calculation.

A reversed card changes the angle of reflection. It is not automatically a bad card or the opposite of the upright meaning.
