The Karmic Tail Calculator is a free Destiny Matrix tool that reveals past, present, and future karmic themes from a birth date. It also explains the Arcana meanings behind each number, so the output

Notes
This tool is designed for reflection and self-understanding, not prediction.
Additional Technical Notes
The calculator is intentionally deterministic: the same birth date always yields the same three-position Karmic Tail. This makes it easy to re-check results and compare with journal notes over time. Numbers above 22 are reduced to fit the Major Arcana range, which keeps the interpretation consistent with traditional Destiny Matrix rules.
On the UX side, the interface is trimmed to the minimum: a birth date field, an optional name field, and immediate output. Input validation prevents invalid ranges (for example, future dates), and the result view is structured to keep the past/present/future themes readable at a glance. A shareable URL is generated so users can revisit or compare insights later without retyping.
The biggest trade-off of a no-backend approach is that there’s no persistence layer. That is a deliberate choice: privacy and speed win over saved profiles. If you want to keep a history, the output is short enough to store in a personal journal.
Future improvements will focus on deeper interpretation layers (without bloating the UI), example readings for first-time users, and clearer guidance on how to apply the three themes in real life decisions.
