Doug Clifford's Birth Card: The 10 of Clubs
The Master Builder
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
Douglas Raymond "Cosmo" Clifford (born April 24, 1945) is an American drummer. The birth-card coordinate for April 24 is the 10 of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1993 Performers with Creedence Clearwater Revival induction.

The 10 of Clubs coordinate
Doug Clifford's birthday maps to the 10 of Clubs (The Master Builder). 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 Doug Clifford. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You carry a finished body of knowledge and keep teaching from it.
Doug Clifford in the public record
He is best known as a founding member of Creedence Clearwater Revival for which he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. After the group disbanded in late 1972, Clifford released a solo album and later joined CCR bassist Stu Cook in the Don Harrison Band. In 1995, Clifford and Cook formed the band Creedence Clearwater Revisited, performing live versions of Creedence Clearwater Revival songs. An early influence on Clifford's playing was The Beatles, with their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964 being of particular significance. "They were a quartet and we said, wow, we can do that. If these guys from England can come out and play rock 'n' roll, we can do it. We bought Beatle wigs. We went to the drama store, and I guess they were The Three Stooges wigs at that time." Clifford, Cook, and the Fogerty brothers grew up together in El Cerrito, California.

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.
