If you divide the Major Trumps of the Tarot evenly throughout the Gregorian year (16.59 days per card), you get the following:

0 Fool Winter Solstice Dec 21

1 Magician Jan 7

2 High Priestess Jan 24

3 Empress Feb 9/10

4 Emperor Feb 26

5 Hierophant March 15

6 Lovers March 31/April 1

7 Chariot April 17

8 Strength May 3

9 Hermit May 20

10 Wheel June 6

11 Justice June 22

12 Hanged Man July 9

13 Death July 25

14 Temperance Aug 11

15 Devil Aug 28

16 Tower Sept 13

17 Star Sept 30

18 Moon Oct 17

19 Sun Nov 2

20 Judgment Nov 19

21 World Dec 5

I find the proximity of some of the cards to various holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. to be kind of interesting. Like my wedding date being between the Hierophant and the Lovers. That it was (and is)! Some of them I'd rearrange -- like the Hanged Man should go near spring equinox (and all related holidays). Anyone else?
