The 10 of Diamonds coordinate

Daniela Silivaș was born May 9 (1972-05-09). Month 5 and day 9 give solar value 36, which is the 10 of Diamonds (The Wealthy Master). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1972 is unused. The 10 of Diamonds does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Daniela Silivaș for Romania. Quoted system copy for the 10 of Diamonds, not a biography of Daniela Silivaș: You build enough and keep it structured so it actually holds. You've built, accumulated, and integrated material success. You have security, abundance, and wisdom. Your presence radiates material confidence.

Daniela Silivaș in the public record

In doing so, she was the fourth female gymnast to achieve this, after Maria Gorokhovskaya (1952), Larisa Latynina (1960, 1964) and Věra Čáslavská (1968). As of 2024, Silivaș is the last gymnast, male or female, to have accomplished this feat. Also, Silivaș is the first gymnast in history to win 3 Olympic and World individual titles on three (from four) apparatus: uneven bars and floor (1988 OG, 1987 and 1989 WC) and beam (1988 OG, 1985 and 1989 WC), an achievement equaled only by Simone Biles, 20 years later. She won 16 Olympic and World medals, 10 of which were gold. In 1987, she dominated the European Championships held in Moscow, medaling on every single event: 4 gold (individual AA, bars, beam and floor) and silver on vault. During her career, she earned 24 perfect 10 scores, of which 7 were earned in Seoul, equaling 1976 Nadia Comăneci's record. She was named the BTA Best Balkan Athlete of the Year in 1988. Silivaș was chosen as one of the "Top Ten All-Around Gymnasts of All Time", in a poll in Inside Gymnastics magazine.
