The Jack of Clubs coordinate
Petra Thümer was born January 29 (1961-01-29). Month 1 and day 29 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 1961 is unused. The Jack of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Petra Thümer for Germany. Quoted system copy for the Jack of Clubs, not a biography of Petra Thümer: 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."
Petra Thümer in the public record
She won gold medals in the 400 m and 800 m freestyle at the 1976 Summer Olympics and the 1977 European Aquatics Championships. During her career she set five world records in the 400 m and 800 m freestyle. In 1987 she was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame. Later she admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs as part of the East German training system. For this reason she missed the 1978 World Championships – coaches feared she would not pass the doping test and excluded her from the East German team, officially explaining her absence by injuries. In 1979 she retired from swimming and worked as a photographer. She was married to the German Olympic athletes Klaus Katzur (swimmer) and Alf-Gerd Deckert (cross-country skier).
