4) Under "Search Options" set "Find Posts from" to A Year Ago and the next button to "And Older"
5) Also under "Search Options" set "Sort Results by" to "Thread starting date" and "ascending order".
6) Set "Search in forums" to only 1 forum (such as "Talking Tarot").
This all limits the number of posts that are found. You may have to do a few searches to find your very first post, but it should work for you.
Step #5 is critical to finding your first thread. This negates the 1000 return limit, by taking you from the earliest date.
If you wish to find the first thread you participated in; Where you type your name for the search, open the drop-down and set to "Find posts by user".
Changing so I got all my posts led me to a post on 29 August 2002 where I replied on a "Birthday Spread"; http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=6843
For folks who've been unable to retrieve posts made from over 1 year ago and/or have made over 1000 posts:
