Gregg Rolie's Birth Card: The King of Clubs
The Master Leader
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict a Grammy Album of the Year.

Gregg Rolie (Q1335067, Wikipedia “Gregg Rolie”) appears here as billed with Santana. The billed act string on those wins is Santana. Albums in this pack for Gregg Rolie: 2000 Supernatural. Birth date 1947-06-17 is the Wikipedia infobox day for Gregg Rolie, verified against Wikidata P569 1947-06-17 (match). This page does not invent a childhood or a private address for Gregg Rolie. It only names the calendar coordinate for June 17 and the Album of the Year albums already listed for Gregg Rolie.
The King of Clubs coordinate
Gregg Rolie was born June 17, 1947 (1947-06-17). Month 6 and day 17 give solar value 26, which is the King of Clubs (The Master Leader). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1947 is unused, so Gregg Rolie's 1947 birth year does not move the card. The King of Clubs does not predict a Grammy Album of the Year and is not a verdict on Gregg Rolie. Quoted system copy for the King of Clubs, not a biography of Gregg Rolie: You make the intellectual call in the open and you can revise it. You command through clarity and competence. You're the authority, the decision-maker, the one people look to for direction. Your thinking is decisive and clear.
