The Jack of Clubs coordinate

Brendan Hansen was born August 15 (1981-08-15). Month 8 and day 15 give solar value 24, which is the Jack of Clubs (The Creative Messenger). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1981 is unused. The Jack of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Brendan Hansen for United States. Quoted system copy for the Jack of Clubs, not a biography of Brendan Hansen: You bring a new angle and stay long enough for someone to test it. You bring new thinking and inspiration. You're the one who shifts how people think about things. You have the gift of the "aha moment."
