Tom Skerritt's Birth Card: The Ace of Clubs
The Creative Pioneer
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
Thomas Roy Skerritt (born August 25, 1933) is an American actor and director, who has appeared in over 170 film and television productions since 1962. The birth-card coordinate for August 25 is the Ace of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1993 Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Picket Fences) win.

The Ace of Clubs coordinate
Tom Skerritt's birthday maps to the Ace of Clubs (The Creative 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 an Emmy and not a verdict on Tom Skerritt. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You start a new idea while it is still usable, and you let it meet the world unfinished.

Where the record meets the 2 of Hearts
