George Jones's Birth Card: The Queen of Clubs
The Nurturing Leader
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict a Kennedy Center Honor.

The Queen of Clubs coordinate
George Jones was born September 12, 1931 (1931-09-12). Month 9 and day 12 give solar value 25, which is the Queen of Clubs (The Nurturing Leader). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1931 is unused, so George Jones's 1931 birth year does not move the card. The Queen of Clubs does not predict a Kennedy Center Honor and is not a verdict on George Jones.

He achieved international fame for a long list of hit records, and is well known for his distinctive voice and phrasing.

In 1959, Jones recorded "White Lightning", written by The Big Bopper, which launched his career as a singer. Years of alcoholism severely compromised his health and led to his missing many performances, earning him the nickname "No Show Jones". He died in 2013, aged 81, from hypoxic respiratory failure. George Glenn Jones was born on September 12, 1931, in Saratoga, Texas, and was raised with a brother and five sisters in Colmesneil, in the Big Thicket region of southeast Texas.
