The King of Clubs coordinate

Mikhail Baryshnikov was born January 27, 1948 (1948-01-27). Month 1 and day 27 give solar value 26, which is the King of Clubs (The Master Leader). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1948 is unused, so Mikhail Baryshnikov's 1948 birth year does not move the card.

Mikhail Baryshnikov in the public record

He was the preeminent male classical ballet dancer of the 1970s and 1980s. He subsequently became a noted dance director. Born into a Russian family in Riga, Baryshnikov had a promising start in the Kirov Ballet in Leningrad before defecting to Canada in 1974 for more opportunities in Western dance. After dancing with the American Ballet Theatre, he joined the New York City Ballet as a principal dancer for one season to learn about George Balanchine's neoclassical Russian style of movement. He then returned to the American Ballet Theatre, where he later became artistic director. Baryshnikov has spearheaded many of his own artistic projects and has been associated in particular with promoting modern dance, premiering dozens of new works, including many of his own. His success as a dramatic actor on stage, cinema, and television, has helped him become probably the most widely recognized contemporary ballet dancer. After his 1974 defection, Baryshnikov never returned to the USSR.
