Cliff Robertson's Birth Card: The 2 of Diamonds
The Financial Partner
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict an Academy Award.
In the record
Clifford Parker Robertson III (September 9, 1923 – September 10, 2011) was an American actor whose career in film and television spanned over six decades. The birth-card coordinate for September 9 is the 2 of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1969 Best Actor — Charly win.
Academy Award record
- 1969 Best Actor — Charly
The 2 of Diamonds coordinate
Cliff Robertson's birthday maps to the 2 of Diamonds (The Financial Partner). 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 Cliff Robertson. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You name the exchange out loud and keep it fair for both sides.

Where the record meets the 8 of Clubs
A card is a calendar coordinate, not a cause. What follows sets one line of the card's own published language beside one sentence of the sourced record, paired by a documented rule. It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about Cliff Robertson, and not a forecast of an Oscar.

Planetary ruling card, karma and Life Spread
Birth card from the month and day. Karma cards are fixed to the birth card. The planetary ruling card comes from the sun sign's ruling planet — the signs with two rulers carry two. The Life Spread is the birth card's fixed row of nine in the Life Spread — the cards that colour each 52-day period for life. Planetary period and long-range cards move year by year and are not shown on a static page.
