The 5 of Diamonds coordinate

Charlton Heston's birthday maps to the 5 of Diamonds (The Dynamic Entrepreneur). 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 Charlton Heston. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You adjust the resource plan when the ground moves, without pretending nothing changed.
