The Queen of Hearts coordinate

Edwin O'Connor was born July 29, 1918 (1918-07-29). Month 7 and day 29 give solar value 12, which is the Queen of Hearts (The Devoted Nurturer). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1918 is unused, so Edwin O'Connor's 1918 birth year does not move the card. The Queen of Hearts does not predict a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and is not a verdict on Edwin O'Connor.
