Counted across 36,525 birth dates
Arcana 6 is even, so it can occupy the centre of a matrix — and does, for roughly 9.1% of birth dates. The eleven even arcana split the centre position almost equally between them.
That is not a quirk of our calculator. It follows from the formula, and it means half the deck is structurally excluded from the most important position in the chart.
The centre is defined as A + B + C + D, where D is itself A + B + C. Substitute it in and the centre is 2 × (A + B + C) — an even number before any reduction. Reduction subtracts 22, which is also even, so the result stays even however many times it is applied.
Running all 36,525 real calendar dates from 1930 to 2029 confirms it: the eleven odd arcana appear in the centre exactly zero times, and the eleven even arcana divide the position between them at about 9.1% each.
Worth knowing before paying for a reading built around your central arcana. The system is presented as deeply personal, and in this respect it is considerably more constrained than it looks — a fact you will not find on the sites selling it.
