House History Bioguide for Jay Obernolte is https://history.house.gov/People/Detail/?id=O000019. Congress.gov member page for Jay Obernolte is https://www.congress.gov/member/jay-obernolte/O000019.

The 8 of Clubs coordinate
Jay Obernolte was born August 18, 1970 (1970-08-18). Month 8 and day 18 give solar value 21, which is the 8 of Clubs (The Ambitious Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1970 is unused, so Jay Obernolte's 1970 birth year does not move the card. The 8 of Clubs does not predict a House office and is not a verdict on Jay Obernolte. Quoted system copy for the 8 of Clubs, not a biography of Jay Obernolte: You run a knowledge system other people can follow, and you stand behind the call.
