The 9 of Spades coordinate

Akinori Nakayama was born March 1 (1943-03-01). Month 3 and day 1 give solar value 48, which is the 9 of Spades (The Idealistic Mind). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1943 is unused. The 9 of Spades does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Akinori Nakayama for Japan. Quoted system copy for the 9 of Spades, not a biography of Akinori Nakayama: You complete the hard stretch and put the lesson down. Your mind is oriented toward universal truths and highest principles. You think in terms of what could be and what should be. Your ideas are idealistic.
