Alex Lifeson's Birth Card: The Queen of Hearts

2013 Performers with Rush

Born August 27, 1953

The Devoted Nurturer

A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.

In the record

Aleksandar Živojinović (born August 27, 1953), known professionally as Alex Lifeson , is a Canadian musician, best known as the guitarist for the rock band Rush. The birth-card coordinate for August 27 is the Queen of Hearts — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 2013 Performers with Rush induction.

Rock Hall record

The Queen of Hearts coordinate

Alex Lifeson's birthday maps to the Queen of Hearts (The Devoted Nurturer). 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 a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame vote and not a verdict on Alex Lifeson. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You take care of people from presence, not from scanning for what they might need next.

Alex Lifeson in the public record

In 1968, he co-founded a band (which later became Rush) with drummer John Rutsey and bassist and lead vocalist Jeff Jones. One month later, Jones was succeeded by Geddy Lee and in 1974, Rutsey was succeeded by Neil Peart, at which point the lineup remained unchanged until the band's initial dissolution in 2015; Lifeson and Lee eventually reformed Rush in 2025, with Anika Nilles as a live drummer. Lifeson is the only member of Rush to have stayed in the band throughout its entire existence and, alongside Lee, the only member to appear on all of the band's albums. With Rush, Lifeson played electric and acoustic guitar, and various other string instruments including mandola, mandolin, and bouzouki. He also performed backing vocals in live performances and select studio recordings, and occasionally played keyboards and bass pedal synthesizers. Each band member sometimes performed real-time on-stage triggering of sampled instruments. They became Officers of the Order of Canada in 1996, as the first rock band to be so honoured as a group. In 2013, he was inducted with Rush into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
