Wallace Beery's Birth Card: The 7 of Spades
The Questioning Mind
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
Wallace Fitzgerald Beery (April 1, 1885 – April 15, 1949) was an American film and stage actor. The birth-card coordinate for April 1 is the 7 of Spades — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1933 Best Actor — The Champ win.
Academy Award record
- 1933 Best Actor — The Champ
The 7 of Spades coordinate
Wallace Beery's birthday maps to the 7 of Spades (The Questioning Mind). 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 Wallace Beery. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You study the hard pattern until you can name it, then you do the next honest thing.
Wallace Beery in the public record
He is best known for his portrayal of Bill in Min and Bill (1930) opposite Marie Dressler, as General Director Preysing in Grand Hotel (1932), as the pirate Long John Silver in Treasure Island (1934), as Pancho Villa in Viva Villa! (1934) for which he won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor, and his title role in The Champ (1931), for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor. Beery appeared in some 250 films during a 36-year career. His contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer stipulated in 1932 that he would be paid $1 more than any other contract player at the studio. This made Beery the highest-paid film actor in the world during the early 1930s. He was the brother of actor Noah Beery and uncle of actor Noah Beery Jr. For his contributions to the film industry, Beery was posthumously inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960.

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.
