Where arcana 14 does turn up

A matrix has nine points, and this arcana is not equally likely in all of them. Counted across 36,525 birth dates:

Position Dates Share
Paternal line 2,100 5.75%
Inherited strength 1,639 4.49%
Maternal line 1,586 4.34%
Character (day) 1,200 3.29%
Inherited difficulty 1,181 3.23%
Talents (year) 731 2%
Foundation 476 1.3%
Centre 132 0.36%
Ancestral task (month) 0 impossible

Its strongest position is paternal line at 5.75%, and across all nine points it accounts for 2.75% of everything the method produces — rank 20 of 22 by how often it appears at all. One position is closed to it entirely: ancestral task (month).

The ancestral position is taken from the month of birth, and there are only twelve months — so arcana 13 through 22 cannot appear there for anyone. That is a hard ceiling in the method, not a statement about your family line.
