In this Soul Parks episode, host Yusuf sits down with Alexander and Viki to unpack how an ordinary deck of 52 playing cards can act as a precise map of your life path, relationships and purpose. They walk through the Source Cards system, a mathematics based framework that aligns every card with the solar year and uses your date of birth to reveal 13 core archetypes shaping your emotional patterns, leadership style and spiritual growth.
Alexander shares his journey from Roman Catholic seminary, Harvard, Wall Street, psychedelics and plant medicine to a Brooklyn party where he discovered he was born to play the Nine of Hearts and finally found language for decades of searching. Viki explains how seeing her own cards brought deep clarity to health struggles, relationship dynamics and emotional healing. Together they show Yusuf, a King of Hearts, how leadership and emotional expression are baked into his blueprint and why life gets easier when you stop copying others and start playing your own cards right. This is a grounded, practical entry point into Source Cards for listeners curious about destiny, self awareness and conscious decision making.

Key Takeaways :
-
A standard deck of 52 playing cards mirrors the solar year, with 52 cards for 52 weeks, 4 suits for 4 seasons and 13 cards per suit for 13 weeks per season.
-
When you add the numeric values of all 52 cards, then include the Joker as the fifth element, you get 365.25, which matches the earth’s orbit and frames the system as mathematical, not random.
-
Each person is “born to play” a primary birth card plus 12 supporting cards that make up a 13 card life path, offering specific guidance for purpose, patterns and challenges.
-
Yusuf’s King of Hearts card reflects a natural role as a heartfelt leader, where emotional expression, writing and connection are key leadership tools, even if leadership initially feels intimidating.
-
Every card has a high side and a low side. Conscious growth is about choosing the high expression rather than trying to become someone else.
-
The system includes specific cards for feminine energy (Venus) and masculine energy (Mars), helping people balance receptivity with drive in a concrete way.
-
Family members often appear symbolically in a person’s life path, mirroring lessons and growth edges rather than repeating exact cards.
-
The “winning move” is not chasing a one size fits all formula. It is learning your own cards and playing them with awareness so that synchronicities, right people and aligned opportunities show up more often.
