Paul Simon was born October 13, 1941 (1941-10-13). Month 10 and day 13 give solar value 22, which is the 9 of Clubs (The Humanitarian Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1941 is unused, so Paul Simon's 1941 birth year does not move the card. The 9 of Clubs does not predict a Kennedy Center Honor and is not a verdict on Paul Simon.
