Janice E. Voss's Birth Card: The Ace of Diamonds
The Wealth 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
Janice Elaine Voss (October 8, 1956 – February 6, 2012) was an American engineer and a NASA astronaut. The birth-card coordinate for October 8 is the Ace of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of a flight assignment.
The Ace of Diamonds coordinate
Janice E. Voss's birthday maps to the Ace of Diamonds (The Wealth 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 Janice E. Voss. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You start a resource in motion because you trust you can make and keep value.
Janice E. Voss in the public record
Voss received her B.S. in engineering science from Purdue University, her M.S. in electrical engineering from MIT, and her PhD in aeronautics and astronautics from MIT. She flew in space five times, jointly holding the record for American women. Voss died in Arizona on February 6, 2012, from breast cancer. Voss was born in South Bend, Indiana, in 1956 and grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where she received her kindergarten-6th grade education from Maud E. Johnson Elementary School and Guilford Center School. In 1972, Voss graduated from Minnechaug Regional High School in Wilbraham, Massachusetts. After high school, Voss went on to earn her Bachelor of Science in engineering science from Purdue University in 1975. During her time at Purdue, she was a member of Alpha Phi Omega.

Where the record meets the Queen 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 Janice E. Voss, and not a forecast of a spaceflight.

Planetary ruling card, karma and Life Spread
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.
Ability to hold space for others' exploration
She flew in space five times, jointly holding the record for American women.
Paired on shared wording: holding, space. This line comes from the Pluto position of the A♦'s Life Spread.

FAQ
- What is Janice E. Voss's birth card?
- The Ace of Diamonds. October 8 maps to that card through the public Card Blueprints formula. The year of birth is not used.
- Does a birth card predict a spaceflight?
- No. These pages are coordinates, not fortune-telling. A birth card names a calendar day in a 52-card year. It does not forecast missions, character, or fate.
- Where do Janice E. Voss's dates come from?
- Birth date 1956-10-08 is the day-precision date on Janice E. Voss's NASA astronaut biography (NASA Group 13 · Deceased · 5 flights), verified against Wikidata P569 (CC0, day precision, Gregorian preferred). The two sources match. Year-only NASA dates and NASA↔Wikidata conflicts are dropped, not guessed. Page hooks and evidence come from the Wikipedia REST summary (CC BY-SA 4.0).
