The 10 of Diamonds coordinate

Joseph Williams was born September 1, 1960 (1960-09-01). Month 9 and day 1 give solar value 36, which is the 10 of Diamonds (The Wealthy Master). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1960 is unused, so Joseph Williams's 1960 birth year does not move the card. The 10 of Diamonds does not predict a Grammy Album of the Year and is not a verdict on Joseph Williams.
