The Jack of Hearts coordinate

Peter Criss was born December 20, 1945 (1945-12-20). Month 12 and day 20 give solar value 11, which is the Jack of Hearts (The Romantic Messenger). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1945 is unused, so Peter Criss's 1945 birth year does not move the card.
