Alvin B. Drew Jr.'s Birth Card: The 2 of Diamonds
The Financial Partner
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict a spaceflight.
In the record
Benjamin Alvin Drew Jr. (born November 5, 1962) is a United States Air Force officer, the director of space sustainability and acting director of Cross-Directorate Technical Integration for NASA's Space Operations Mission Directorate, and a former NASA astronaut. The birth-card coordinate for November 5 is the 2 of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of a flight assignment.
The 2 of Diamonds coordinate
Alvin B. Drew Jr.'s birthday maps to the 2 of Diamonds (The Financial Partner). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a mission and not a verdict on Alvin B. Drew Jr.. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You name the exchange out loud and keep it fair for both sides.
Alvin B. Drew Jr. in the public record
He has been on two spaceflights; the first was the Space Shuttle mission STS-118 to the International Space Station, in August 2007. Drew's second spaceflight took place in March 2011 on STS-133, another mission to the International Space Station. STS-133 was Space Shuttle Discovery's final mission. Drew took part in two spacewalks while docked to the station. Drew was the final African-American to fly on board a Space Shuttle, as the final two Space Shuttle missions, STS-134 and STS-135, had no African-American crew members. Drew was selected to be an astronaut in NASA's Astronaut Group 18 in July 2000. Following his rookie spaceflight, Drew spent almost a year at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonauts Training Center in Star City, Russia, overseeing NASA's training operations there as director of operations. On February 28, 2011, Drew became the 200th person to walk in space, when he conducted the first spacewalk of the STS-133 mission with fellow astronaut Steve Bowen.

Birth card from the month and day. Karma cards are fixed to the birth card. The planetary ruling card comes from the sun sign's ruling planet — the signs with two rulers carry two. The Life Spread is the birth card's fixed row of nine in the Life Spread — the cards that colour each 52-day period for life. Planetary period and long-range cards move year by year and are not shown on a static page.
