The King of Clubs coordinate

Birgit Fischer was born February 25 (1962-02-25). Month 2 and day 25 give solar value 26, which is the King of Clubs (The Master Leader). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1962 is unused. The King of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Birgit Fischer for East Germany. Quoted system copy for the King of Clubs, not a biography of Birgit Fischer: You make the intellectual call in the open and you can revise it. You command through clarity and competence. You're the authority, the decision-maker, the one people look to for direction. Your thinking is decisive and clear.
