Pierre J. Thuot's Birth Card: The King of Clubs

In the record

Pierre Joseph Thuot (born May 19, 1955) is a retired United States Navy captain and NASA astronaut. The birth-card coordinate for May 19 is the King of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of a flight assignment.

The King of Clubs coordinate

Pierre J. Thuot's birthday maps to the King of Clubs (The Master Leader). 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 Pierre J. Thuot. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You make the intellectual call in the open and you can revise it.
