Ulrike Richter's Birth Card: The King of Clubs
The Master Leader
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict an Olympic medal.
In the record
Ulrike Richter (later Schmidt, born 17 June 1959) is a German former swimmer who competed for East Germany in the 1970s. The birth-card coordinate for June 17 is the King of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of Ulrike Richter's 3 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming.
Summer Olympic gold record
Wikidata records 3 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming for Germany across 1976. 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 Ulrike Richter (Q442443), not a reading of character. 1976: gold in swimming at the 1976 Summer Olympics – women's 100 metre backstroke in competitive swimming. 1976: gold in swimming at the 1976 Summer Olympics – women's 200 metre backstroke in competitive swimming. 1976: gold in swimming at the 1976 Summer Olympics – women's 4 × 100 metre medley relay in competitive swimming.

The King of Clubs coordinate
Ulrike Richter was born June 17 (1959-06-17). Month 6 and day 17 give solar value 26, which is the King of Clubs (The Master Leader). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1959 is unused. The King of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Ulrike Richter for Germany. Quoted system copy for the King of Clubs, not a biography of Ulrike Richter: You make the intellectual call in the open and you can revise it. You command through clarity and competence. You're the authority, the decision-maker, the one people look to for direction. Your thinking is decisive and clear.
