The Uniqueness of 36!
This celestial deck has 36 cards, and every shuffle lands them in one specific order out of every arrangement possible. The count of all possible orderings of 36 distinct cards is written 36! ("36 factorial") — 36 × 35 × 34 × ... × 2 × 1.
That's a 42-digit number. For comparison, scientists estimate there are roughly 1024 stars in the observable universe — a 25-digit figure. The number of possible shuffles of this deck is about a trillion trillion trillion times larger than that.
Fittingly for an astrology deck, the odds of any one shuffle recurring are far longer than the odds of any real astrological configuration repeating exactly in a lifetime. Each reading's arrangement is, for all practical purposes, mathematically unrepeatable.
