Karmic Tail Library: All 26 Karmic Tails

The karmic tail is the three-number line at the bottom of a Destiny Matrix chart. The first number shows the pattern carried in, the second shows how it repeats, and the third shows how the lesson resolves. Across all birth dates, only 26 triples are possible — every chart’s tail is one of the combinations below. Read these as reflections to think with, not predictions: use our free Destiny Matrix calculator to find your own tail, then read its entry here.

Each entry links to the full combination page for that triple, where you can see the three arcana in detail. For the general guide, see the karmic tail guide.
