Win Butler's Birth Card: The 7 of Diamonds
The Skeptical Investor
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
Edwin Farnham Butler III (born April 14, 1980) is an American-Canadian singer, songwriter, musician, and multi-instrumentalist. The birth-card coordinate for April 14 is the 7 of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of Win Butler's 2011 Album of the Year — The Suburbs.

Win Butler (Q1349573, Wikipedia “Win Butler”) appears here as billed with Arcade Fire. The billed act string on those wins is Arcade Fire. Albums in this pack for Win Butler: 2011 The Suburbs. Birth date 1980-04-14 is the Wikipedia infobox day for Win Butler, verified against Wikidata P569 1980-04-14 (match). This page does not invent a childhood or a private address for Win Butler. It only names the calendar coordinate for April 14 and the Album of the Year albums already listed for Win Butler.
The 7 of Diamonds coordinate
Win Butler was born April 14, 1980 (1980-04-14). Month 4 and day 14 give solar value 33, which is the 7 of Diamonds (The Skeptical Investor). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1980 is unused, so Win Butler's 1980 birth year does not move the card. The 7 of Diamonds does not predict a Grammy Album of the Year and is not a verdict on Win Butler. Quoted system copy for the 7 of Diamonds, not a biography of Win Butler: You look at worth without reducing it to the account balance. You question everything about money—where it comes from, where it goes, whether it's worth it. You're analytical about resources. You think deeply about material choices.
