The 8 of Clubs coordinate

Carlos Santana was born July 20, 1947 (1947-07-20). Month 7 and day 20 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 1947 is unused, so Carlos Santana's 1947 birth year does not move the card.
