Dave Krusen's Birth Card: The King of Diamonds

2017 Performers with Pearl Jam

Born March 10, 1966

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 Karl Krusen (born March 10, 1966) is an American musician. The birth-card coordinate for March 10 is the King of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 2017 Performers with Pearl Jam induction.

Rock Hall record

The King of Diamonds coordinate

Dave Krusen'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 Krusen. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You run the system and you can show your work.

Where the record meets the 3 of Spades

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.

Life Spread (Mercury → Result / Cosmic Reward)

Planetary ruling card, karma and Life Spread

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.

You stay with the hard feeling long enough to learn it, then you let the day continue. You see what's wrong, what's broken, what's unfair. Your mind is naturally oriented toward problems and suffering. You're the truth-teller about darkness.
