Dave Grohl's Birth Card: The King of Diamonds
The Wealthy King
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
David Eric Grohl (born January 14, 1969) is an American musician and songwriter. The birth-card coordinate for January 14 is the King of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 2014 Performers with Nirvana; 2021 Performers with Foo Fighters induction.
Rock Hall record
- 2014 Performers — inducted member of Nirvana
- 2021 Performers — inducted member of Foo Fighters
The King of Diamonds coordinate
Dave Grohl's birthday maps to the King of Diamonds (The Wealthy King). 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 Dave Grohl. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You run the system and you can show your work.
Dave Grohl in the public record
He founded the rock band Foo Fighters, of which he is the lead singer, guitarist, principal songwriter, and only consistent member. He first gained fame as the drummer of the grunge band Nirvana, from 1990 until the band's end in 1994. In 1986, at age 17, Grohl joined the punk rock band Scream, replacing drummer Kent Stax. After Scream broke up in 1990, Grohl became the drummer for Nirvana. He first appeared on the band's second album, Nevermind (1991). After the 1994 suicide of Kurt Cobain, Nirvana disbanded, and Grohl formed Foo Fighters as a one-man project. After he released the album Foo Fighters in 1995, he assembled a full band to tour and record under the Foo Fighters name. They have since released 12 studio albums.

Where the record meets the King of Diamonds
A card is a calendar coordinate, not a cause. What follows sets one line of the card's own published language beside one sentence of the sourced record, paired by a documented rule. It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about Dave Grohl, and not a forecast of induction.

Birth card from the month and day. Karma cards are fixed to the birth card. The planetary ruling card comes from the sun sign's ruling planet — the signs with two rulers carry two. The Life Spread is the birth card's fixed row of nine in the Life Spread — the cards that colour each 52-day period for life. Planetary period and long-range cards move year by year and are not shown on a static page.
