The Queen of Hearts coordinate

William Faulkner was born September 25, 1897 (1897-09-25). Month 9 and day 25 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 1897 is unused, so William Faulkner's 1897 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 William Faulkner.
