Percival Everett's Birth Card: The 9 of Hearts
The Compassionate Idealist
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
In the record

Works in this pack for Percival Everett: 2025 James. Percival Everett's English Wikipedia title is the same string as the harvested name. Birth date 1956-12-22 is the Wikipedia infobox day for Percival Everett, verified against Wikidata P569 1956-12-22 (match). Pulitzer.org bio date status for Percival Everett is unavailable.

It only names the calendar coordinate for December 22 and the Fiction titles already listed for Percival Everett.
The 9 of Hearts coordinate
Percival Everett was born December 22, 1956 (1956-12-22). Month 12 and day 22 give solar value 9, which is the 9 of Hearts (The Compassionate Idealist). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1956 is unused, so Percival Everett's 1956 birth year does not move the card. The 9 of Hearts does not predict a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and is not a verdict on Percival Everett. Quoted system copy for the 9 of Hearts, not a biography of Percival Everett: You stay kind without picking up what is not yours. You're wired for a love that extends beyond the personal—compassion for people, causes, and the world. You feel others' pain as your own and are moved to ease it. At your best, you carry deep wisdom about what to hold and what to release. Harvested gifts listed for the 9 of Hearts: Integrating compassion with hard-won wisdom; A capacity for love that extends beyond the self; Knowing what is yours to carry and what to release; Emotional generosity toward people and causes. Harvested life-direction line for the 9 of Hearts: Your curriculum is learning that you are not exempt from the care you give. You're learning to release what was never yours to carry.
