The 10 of Clubs coordinate

George Hodgson was born October 12 (1893-10-12). Month 10 and day 12 give solar value 23, which is the 10 of Clubs (The Master Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1893 is unused. The 10 of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on George Hodgson for Canada. Quoted system copy for the 10 of Clubs, not a biography of George Hodgson: You carry a finished body of knowledge and keep teaching from it. You've thought deeply and built significantly. You have wisdom, authority, and accomplishment. Your mind is seasoned and capable.
