Charles J. Precourt's Birth Card: The Ace of Clubs
The Creative Pioneer
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
Charles Joseph Precourt (born June 29, 1955) is a retired NASA astronaut. The birth-card coordinate for June 29 is the Ace of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of a flight assignment.
The Ace of Clubs coordinate
Charles J. Precourt's birthday maps to the Ace of Clubs (The Creative Pioneer). 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 Charles J. Precourt. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You start a new idea while it is still usable, and you let it meet the world unfinished.

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.
