In the record

Alphonso Joseph D'Abruzzo (born January 28, 1936), known professionally as Alan Alda , is an American actor and filmmaker. The birth-card coordinate for January 28 is the Queen of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1974 Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (M*A*S*H); 1982 Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (M*A*S*H) win.

• 1982 Lead Actor in a Comedy Series — M*A*S*H as Hawkeye Pierce

The Queen of Clubs coordinate

Alan Alda'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 an Emmy and not a verdict on Alan Alda. 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.
