Richard Thomas's Birth Card: The 4 of Diamonds
The Financial Foundation Builder
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict an Emmy.
In the record
Richard Earl Thomas (born June 13, 1951) is an American actor. The birth-card coordinate for June 13 is the 4 of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1973 Lead Actor in a Drama Series (The Waltons) win.

The 4 of Diamonds coordinate
Richard Thomas's birthday maps to the 4 of Diamonds (The Financial Foundation Builder). 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 Richard Thomas. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You build a floor that lasts and still let money move when the work requires it.

Where the record meets the King of Clubs
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 Richard Thomas, and not a forecast of an Emmy.
