Scott J. Horowitz's Birth Card: The Queen of Clubs

In the record

Scott Jay Horowitz (born March 24, 1957) is a retired American astronaut and a veteran of four Space Shuttle missions. The birth-card coordinate for March 24 is the Queen of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of a flight assignment.

The Queen of Clubs coordinate

Scott J. Horowitz's birthday maps to the Queen of Clubs (The Nurturing 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 Scott J. Horowitz. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You teach from what you actually know, without making people earn the right to hear it.

Scott J. Horowitz in the public record

Horowitz went to California State University, Northridge in 1974 where he earned his B.S. degree in engineering in 1978; he subsequently obtained a Ph.D. degree in aerospace engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1982, and then worked as a scientist for Lockheed Company. Horowitz joined the United States Air Force and flew as a T-38 and F-15 pilot while also teaching courses in aircraft design and propulsion at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and later California State University, Fresno. He graduated from the United States Air Force Test Pilot School in Dec, 1990 as a member of class 90-A. Horowitz was selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in 1992, and piloted missions STS-75 (1996), STS-82 (1997) and STS-101 (2000). He commanded mission STS-105 (2001), a visit to the International Space Station for equipment and crew transfer. In STS-75, Horowitz and Jeffrey A. Hoffman, both Jewish, had alternating use of the same bunk bed, to which Hoffman attached, upon Horowitz's request, a mezuzah, using Velcro. Horowitz retired from the United States Air Force and NASA in October 2004.

Where the record meets the Queen of Clubs

It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about Scott J. Horowitz, and not a forecast of a spaceflight.
