Tsung-Dao Lee's Birth Card: The 9 of Hearts
The Compassionate Idealist
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict a Nobel Prize.
In the record
Tsung-Dao Lee (Chinese: 李政道; pinyin: Lǐ Zhèngdào; November 24, 1926 – August 4, 2024) was a Chinese-American physicist known for his work on parity violation, the Lee–Yang theorem, particle physics, relativistic heavy ion (RHIC) physics, nontopological solitons, and soliton stars. The birth-card coordinate for November 24 is the 9 of Hearts — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1957 Physics prize.
Nobel Prize record
- 1957 The Nobel Prize in Physics — for their penetrating investigation of the so-called parity laws which has led to important discoveries regarding the elementary particles
1957 — The Nobel Prize in Physics
“for their penetrating investigation of the so-called parity laws which has led to important discoveries regarding the elementary particles”
No one else in this set holds the 1957 Physics prize; Tsung-Dao Lee appears here as its sole listed laureate. The award was divided; this laureate's listed portion is 1/2.
222 other Physics laureates in this set carry a birth-card coordinate.
The 9 of Hearts coordinate
Tsung-Dao Lee's birthday maps to the 9 of Hearts (The Compassionate Idealist). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Nobel Prize and not a verdict on Tsung-Dao Lee. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You stay kind without picking up what is not yours.
Tsung-Dao Lee in the public record
He was a university professor emeritus at Columbia University in New York City, where he taught from 1953 until his retirement in 2012. In 1957, at the age of 30, Lee won the Nobel Prize in Physics with Chen Ning Yang for their work on the violation of the parity law in weak interactions, which Chien-Shiung Wu experimentally proved from 1956 to 1957, with her well known Wu experiment. Lee remains the youngest Nobel laureate in the science fields after World War II. He is the third-youngest Nobel laureate in sciences in history after William L. Bragg (who won the prize at 25 with his father William H. Bragg in 1915) and Werner Heisenberg (who won in 1932 also at 30). Lee and Yang were the first Chinese laureates. Since he became a naturalized American citizen in 1963, Lee is also the youngest American ever to have won a Nobel Prize.

Where the record meets the Jack of Clubs
A card is a calendar coordinate, not a cause. What follows sets one line of the card's own published language beside one sentence of the sourced record, paired by a documented rule. It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about Tsung-Dao Lee, and not a forecast of a Nobel Prize.

Birth card from the month and day. Karma cards are fixed to the birth card. The planetary ruling card comes from the sun sign's ruling planet — the signs with two rulers carry two. The Life Spread is the birth card's fixed row of nine in the Life Spread — the cards that colour each 52-day period for life. Planetary period and long-range cards move year by year and are not shown on a static page.

FAQ
- What is Tsung-Dao Lee's birth card?
- The 9 of Hearts. November 24 maps to that card through the public Card Blueprints formula. The year of birth is not used.
- Does a birth card predict a Nobel Prize?
- No. These pages are coordinates, not fortune-telling. A birth card names a calendar day in a 52-card year. It does not forecast prizes, character, or fate.
- Where do Tsung-Dao Lee's dates come from?
- Birth date 1926-11-24 is the Nobel Prize API v2.1 day-precision date, verified against Wikidata P569 (CC0, day precision, Gregorian preferred). The two sources match. Year-only Nobel dates and Nobel↔Wikidata conflicts are dropped, not guessed. Page hooks and evidence come from the Wikipedia REST summary (CC BY-SA 4.0).
