John Lennon'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.
In the record
John Winston Ono Lennon (born John Winston Lennon; 9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English musician, songwriter and activist. The birth-card coordinate for October 9 is the King of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of John Lennon's 1968 Album of the Year — Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band; 1982 Album of the Year — Double Fantasy.

John Lennon (Q1203, Wikipedia “John Lennon”) appears here as primary billed as John Lennon. The billed act string on those wins is The Beatles, John Lennon. Albums in this pack for John Lennon: 1968 Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band; 1982 Double Fantasy. Birth date 1940-10-09 is the Wikipedia infobox day for John Lennon, verified against Wikidata P569 1940-10-09 (match). This page does not invent a childhood or a private address for John Lennon. It only names the calendar coordinate for October 9 and the Album of the Year albums already listed for John Lennon.
The King of Clubs coordinate
John Lennon was born October 9, 1940 (1940-10-09). Month 10 and day 9 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 1940 is unused, so John Lennon's 1940 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 John Lennon. Quoted system copy for the King of Clubs, not a biography of John Lennon: 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.

John Lennon in the public record
He gained global fame as the founder, co-lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the Beatles. Lennon's songwriting partnership with Paul McCartney remains the most successful in history. Born in Liverpool, Lennon became involved in the skiffle craze as a teenager. In 1956, he formed the Quarrymen, which evolved into the Beatles in 1960. He initially was the group's de facto leader, a role he gradually seemed to cede to McCartney. In the mid-1960s, Lennon authored In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works, both collections of nonsense writings and line drawings. Starting with "All You Need Is Love" in 1967, his songs were adopted as anthems by the counterculture and anti-war movement. In 1969, he started the Plastic Ono Band with his second wife, multimedia artist Yoko Ono, held the two-week-long anti-war demonstration bed-in for peace, and left the Beatles to embark on a solo career.

Where the record meets the 4 of Hearts
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 John Lennon, and not a forecast of a Grammy.

Planetary ruling card, karma and Life Spread
Birth card from the month and day. Karma cards are fixed to the birth card. The planetary ruling card comes from the sun sign's ruling planet — the signs with two rulers carry two. The Life Spread is the birth card's fixed row of nine in the Life Spread — the cards that colour each 52-day period for life. Planetary period and long-range cards move year by year and are not shown on a static page.
