The Jack of Clubs coordinate

Jimmy McLane was born September 13 (1930-09-13). Month 9 and day 13 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 1930 is unused. The Jack of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Jimmy McLane for United States. Quoted system copy for the Jack of Clubs, not a biography of Jimmy McLane: 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."
