The seventeenth arcanum is the most creative of them all. Such a person thinks in images, invents easily and sees beauty where everyone else sees a task.

They show themselves not in conversation but in what they have made: in music, in a drawing, in a text, in an object. Explaining themselves in words is usually harder for them than showing.

The strength is the ability to give things form. Even an ordinary job comes out of their hands looking unlike anyone else's, and people notice.

The weakness is dependence on recognition. The seventeenth arcanum needs what it has made to be seen, and without a response it goes out faster than it would from tiredness.

Day arcanum — character

Day arcanum = DT

The day of birth is the main part of the date. It is responsible for character and for what childhood was like, and along with that — for the past incarnation and for what a person brings out of it: inclinations, a craft, an attitude to work.

It is read as a general frame — much the way a zodiac sign is read in astrology: it describes a tendency, not the whole person. Character is made up of many numbers, and no one of them cancels out the rest.

The same arcanum can come from different days: for those born on the 1st and on the 23rd it coincides (23 − 22 = 1), but their ruling planets are different, and that shows in the character.

This is the positive part of the calculation — what a person starts from and can lean on, not a list of their limitations.
