How is this system different from, say, Astrology, Numerology or Tarot?
I classify these kinds of systems into two categories. The first are those based upon mathematical principles and the second are what I call the intuitive methods. Tarot falls into the second category while Astrology, Numerology and the Science of the Cards all fall into the first. When using the Science of the Cards it is not necessary to even have a deck of cards. Everything that we do is done by calculations using the birthdays of individuals and the numerics of our calendar. This system is most closely related to Astrology. It even incorporates planetary influences as part of its interpretations.
