Anthony Ervin's Birth Card: The 6 of Clubs
The Nurturing Creator
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict an Olympic medal.
In the record
Anthony Lee Ervin (born May 26, 1981) is an American competitive swimmer who has won four Olympic medals and two World Championship golds. The birth-card coordinate for May 26 is the 6 of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of Anthony Ervin's 3 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming.
Summer Olympic gold record
Wikidata records 3 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming for United States across 2000 and 2016. Only Summer Games gold medals count here. Winter-only careers and single-gold athletes are out of this pack. The medal list is a public award record for Anthony Ervin (Q532121), not a reading of character. 2000 2000 Summer Olympics: gold in 2000 Summer Olympics in Q212434. 2000: gold in swimming at the 2000 Summer Olympics – men's 50 metre freestyle in competitive swimming. 2016: gold in swimming at the 2016 Summer Olympics – men's 4 × 100 metre freestyle relay in competitive swimming.

The 6 of Clubs coordinate
Anthony Ervin was born May 26 (1981-05-26). Month 5 and day 26 give solar value 19, which is the 6 of Clubs (The Nurturing Creator). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1981 is unused. The 6 of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Anthony Ervin for United States. Quoted system copy for the 6 of Clubs, not a biography of Anthony Ervin: You pass on what you know without disappearing behind the lesson. You have knowledge and a natural urge to share it. You think best when you're helping someone else understand. Your mind is oriented toward wisdom.
Anthony Ervin in the public record
At the 2000 Summer Olympics, he won a gold medal in the men's 50-meter freestyle, and earned a silver medal as a member of the second-place United States relay team in the 4×100-meter freestyle event. He was the second swimmer of African descent, after Anthony Nesty of Suriname, to win an individual gold medal in Olympic swimming. He is the first United States citizen of African descent to earn a gold medal in an individual Olympic swimming event. In 2017, he knelt for the US national anthem prior to the start of a competition in Brazil. Ervin stopped swimming competitively at the age of 22 in 2003 and auctioned off his 2000 Olympic gold medal on eBay to aid survivors of the 2004 tsunami, but he began to train again in 2011. Ervin competed in the 50-meter freestyle event at the 2012 Summer Olympics where he placed fifth. In the spring of 2016, Akashic Books released Ervin's memoir, Chasing Water, co-authored by Ervin and Constantine Markides. At the 2016 Summer Olympics, 16 years after his first Olympic gold medal, he won the event for the second time, at the age of 35, becoming the oldest individual Olympic gold medal winner in swimming.
