Winter-only careers and single-gold athletes are out of this pack.

The 5 of Hearts coordinate

Kathy Ellis was born November 28 (1946-11-28). Month 11 and day 28 give solar value 5, which is the 5 of Hearts (The Restless Heart). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1946 is unused. The 5 of Hearts does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Kathy Ellis for United States. Quoted system copy for the 5 of Hearts, not a biography of Kathy Ellis: You let love change shape without using motion as a way out of being seen. You're wired for change, movement, and experience—love, for you, is a journey rather than a destination. You bring adaptability and freshness to connection, and you understand that people and feelings transform over time.

Kathy Ellis in the public record

Graduating Indiana University in 1968 with a degree in Nursing, she later married, and coached swimming at the Riviera Club replacing her former coach Gene Lee. She also coached at Butler University, where Lee had coached, and later at Wabash College. Ellis was born on November 26, 1946 in Indianapolis, Indiana to Mr. and Mrs. Donald Ellis, who were avid golfers and able athletes and wanted Kathy and her sister Maddie to learn to swim competently while they enjoyed their own avocation. Kathy and her sister swam first with the Indianapolis Athletic Club (IAC) beginning in elementary school. Ellis's Coach Gene Lee began working at the IAC around 1956. When Coach Lee left the IAC for the Riviera Club in 1962, Kathy and her sister followed. Lee became an American Swimming Coaches Association Hall of Fame honoree.
