Mary K. Greer's Who Are You in the Tarot? uses a numerology system to assign tarot cards to your birthday like a natal chart, to determine soul, personality, and hidden factor cards, as well as many other things, especially which card is assigned to a given year in your life, and the interpretation.
I found the book stunningly accurate as a description of myself: a hermit, hermit, moon. Even the year descriptions seem to be very spot-on, though the same year gets a different card, person to person. I read a number of the interpretations for other cards and none of them were even close to as accurate as a description of me as mine, so I don't think it was confirmation bias.
A note for those trying to add their birthday up: it works a little differently, as the numbers can be as high as 23, and there are particular rules for how to handle some of the odd cases, so you really to need the book to find the correct cards.
