The 6 of Spades coordinate

Jason Newsted's birthday maps to the 6 of Spades (The Responsible Mind). 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 Jason Newsted. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You use what you have already walked through without requiring anyone else to be in pain for it to count.
