The King of Diamonds coordinate
Reiner Klimke was born January 14 (1936-01-14). Month 1 and day 14 give solar value 39, which is the King of Diamonds (The Wealthy King). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1936 is unused. The King of Diamonds does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Reiner Klimke for West Germany. Quoted system copy for the King of Diamonds, not a biography of Reiner Klimke: You run the system and you can show your work. You command resources and respect. You're the decision-maker about finances, investments, and wealth. Your presence radiates power and affluence.
