The 7 of Clubs coordinate

Isaac Stern was born July 21, 1920 (1920-07-21). Month 7 and day 21 give solar value 20, which is the 7 of Clubs (The Analytical Creator). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1920 is unused, so Isaac Stern's 1920 birth year does not move the card.
