The 10 of Hearts coordinate

Anne Tyler was born October 25, 1941 (1941-10-25). Month 10 and day 25 give solar value 10, which is the 10 of Hearts (The Community Heart). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1941 is unused, so Anne Tyler's 1941 birth year does not move the card.
