The Jack of Spades coordinate

Gu Jun was born January 3 (1975-01-03). Month 1 and day 3 give solar value 50, which is the Jack of Spades (The Messenger of Truth). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1975 is unused. The Jack of Spades does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Gu Jun for People's Republic of China.
