Calculation and interpretation are different
Calculation is repeatable arithmetic. Interpretation is a symbolic reading of the resulting positions; it is not a scientific, psychological or medical diagnosis.
Follow the Ladini Classic 22 formula to convert a birth date into a reproducible 22 Arcana chart with base points, channels and purpose positions.
Implementation version: ladini-classic-22-v1.1Calculation is repeatable arithmetic. Interpretation is a symbolic reading of the resulting positions; it is not a scientific, psychological or medical diagnosis.
Values from 1 to 22 remain unchanged. When a value is greater than 22, add its decimal digits and repeat only if the result is still above 22.
reduce22(21) = 21reduce22(39) = 12reduce22(1995) = 6reduce22(999) = 9Day, month and year create the four outer points and the main centre.
A = reduce22(day)C = monthE = reduce22(sum of year digits)G = reduce22(A + C + E)I = reduce22(A + C + E + G)The diagonal points connect neighbouring base values.
B = reduce22(A + C)D = reduce22(C + E)F = reduce22(E + G)H = reduce22(G + A)Cardinal channels use the main centre, while ancestral channels use the centre of the ancestral square.
A2 = reduce22(A + I)A1 = reduce22(A + A2)I1 = reduce22(B + D + F + H)B2 = reduce22(B + I1)B1 = reduce22(B + B2)…the same pattern applies to D, F, and HThese readings use ordered sequences; the order is part of the methodology.

Sky = reduce22(C + G)Earth = reduce22(A + E)Personal = reduce22(Sky + Earth)Social = reduce22(Male + Female)Spiritual = reduce22(Personal + Social)Each chakra row contains physical, energy and emotion values. Emotion is the reduced sum of the first two values.
emotion = reduce22(physics + energy)result = reduce22(sum of 7 rows)Use this published set to verify another implementation or a manual calculation.
