Mary T. Meagher's Birth Card: The 8 of Hearts
The Emotional Powerhouse
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict an Olympic medal.

Summer Olympic gold record
Wikidata records 4 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming for United States across 1984. Only Summer Games gold medals count here. Winter-only careers and single-gold athletes are out of this pack. The medal list is a public award record for Mary T. Meagher (Q234977), not a reading of character. 1984 1984 Summer Olympics: gold in 1984 Summer Olympics in Q212434. 1984: gold in swimming at the 1984 Summer Olympics – women's 100 metre butterfly in competitive swimming. 1984: gold in swimming at the 1984 Summer Olympics – women's 200 metre butterfly in competitive swimming. 1984: gold in swimming at the 1984 Summer Olympics – women's 4 × 100 metre medley relay in competitive swimming.

The 8 of Hearts coordinate
Mary T. Meagher was born October 27 (1964-10-27). Month 10 and day 27 give solar value 8, which is the 8 of Hearts (The Emotional Powerhouse). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1964 is unused. The 8 of Hearts does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Mary T. Meagher for United States. Quoted system copy for the 8 of Hearts, not a biography of Mary T. Meagher: You hold the emotional room without taking it over. You carry real power in the realm of feeling—charisma, presence, and the ability to move people emotionally. When you lead with confident compassion, you can hold and steady the emotional weather of a whole room or relationship.
Mary T. Meagher in the public record
In 1981 she bettered her own existing world records in the 100-meter butterfly (57.93) and 200-meter butterfly (2:05.96). These times would stand as the world records for 18 and 19 years, respectively, and are considered by many swimming historians to be among the all-time greatest sports performances by a competitive swimmer. Meagher was born the 10th of 11 siblings on October 27, 1964, in Louisville, Kentucky, to father James L. Meagher Jr., a two-time Notre Dame basketball letterman and mother Floy Terstegge Meagher. Highly active in the Louisville community, her father James was the Chairman of S & T Industries, a company that sells and manufactures highly precise measuring tools, and had served on alumni boards for Louisville's Bellarmine University and Notre Dame. Mary graduated from Louisville's Sacred Heart Academy in 1982. Her sister, former U.S. Representative Anne Northup, also graduated Sacred Heart.
