The Joker coordinate

Anthony Hopkins's birthday maps to the Joker (The Joker: The December 31 Birth Card). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about an Academy Award and not a verdict on Anthony Hopkins. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: In a common year, 364 dates map to one of the 52 cards and December 31 resolves to the Joker. A leap year adds February 29, which maps normally to the 9 of Clubs. We state both edge cases plainly — the system is more useful when the public explanation matches the calculator.
