We do not know what you mean by "the card." If it is similar to the practices of fortune-tellers and astrologers who link days, months, and people's names to their influence on creation, or if it is a means of knowing the unseen, then this is forbidden polytheism (). However, if it is a permissible and legitimate means, such as a scientific method for determining the sex of the fetus, then there is no objection to that.
