Garrett E. Reisman's Birth Card: The 2 of Spades
The Skeptical 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
Garrett Erin Reisman (born February 10, 1968) is an American engineer and former NASA astronaut. The birth-card coordinate for February 10 is the 2 of Spades — a calendar position, not a forecast of a flight assignment.
The 2 of Spades coordinate
Garrett E. Reisman's birthday maps to the 2 of Spades (The Skeptical 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 Garrett E. Reisman. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You hold two pressures at once and still make a call that can live in the world.
Garrett E. Reisman in the public record
He was a backup crew member for Expedition 15 and joined Expedition 16 aboard the International Space Station for a short time before becoming a member of Expedition 17.

He is a consultant at SpaceX and a Professor of Astronautics Practice at the University of Southern California's Viterbi School of Engineering. Reisman was born in Morristown, New Jersey to a Jewish family. After graduating from Parsippany High School in 1986, he went to the Jerome Fisher Program of Management & Technology, a dual degree program between Wharton School and the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Pennsylvania, where he respectively earned a B.S. degree in economics, as well in mechanical engineering & applied mechanics, both in 1991. He subsequently attended the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), where he received an M.S. degree in 1992 and a Ph.D. in 1997, both in mechanical engineering. While at Caltech he shared a doctoral advisor, Christopher E.

Where the record meets the 2 of Spades
A card is a calendar coordinate, not a cause. What follows sets one line of the card's own published language beside one sentence of the sourced record, paired by a documented rule. It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about Garrett E. Reisman, and not a forecast of a spaceflight.

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.
