Eric A. Boe's Birth Card: The 8 of Diamonds

In the record

Eric Allen Boe (born October 1, 1964) is a retired United States Air Force fighter pilot, colonel, and test pilot, and an active NASA astronaut. The birth-card coordinate for October 1 is the 8 of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of a flight assignment.

The 8 of Diamonds coordinate

Eric A. Boe's birthday maps to the 8 of Diamonds (The Businessman). 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 Eric A. Boe. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You run the money system in the open and you can explain the call.
