The 6 of Diamonds coordinate

Ma Lin was born February 19 (1980-02-19). Month 2 and day 19 give solar value 32, which is the 6 of Diamonds (The Generous Provider). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1980 is unused. The 6 of Diamonds does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Ma Lin for People's Republic of China. Quoted system copy for the 6 of Diamonds, not a biography of Ma Lin: You move resources toward other people without erasing your own claim. You naturally want to provide for others.
