The Ace of Hearts coordinate

Mike Bost was born December 30, 1960 (1960-12-30). Month 12 and day 30 give solar value 1, which is the Ace of Hearts (The Emotional Pioneer). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1960 is unused, so Mike Bost's 1960 birth year does not move the card. The Ace of Hearts does not predict a House office and is not a verdict on Mike Bost.
