Stefan Lessard'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
Stefan Lessard (born June 4, 1974) is an American musician, best-known as the bassist for Dave Matthews Band, of which he is a founding member.

The King of Diamonds coordinate
Stefan Lessard'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 Stefan Lessard. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You run the system and you can show your work.
Stefan Lessard in the public record
He is also a member of the supergroup Yukon Kornelius. Stefan Kahil Lessard was born on June 4, 1974, to musician parents. His father Ron was a professional bassist and graduated from Berklee College of Music two years after Stefan's birth. During Lessard's early life his family moved between the West and East Coasts several times before settling in Yogaville, an ashram in Virginia in 1984. Lessard joined Dave Matthews Band at age 16, recommended to the band's guitarist and vocalist Dave Matthews by trumpeter and music teacher John D'earth. Lessard commenced studying jazz at Virginia Commonwealth University. However, due to the rising popularity of Dave Matthews Band, he ceased his studies. In addition to his typical bass guitar, Lessard also plays double bass and ukulele bass.

Where the record meets the 6 of Hearts
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 Stefan Lessard, and not a forecast of induction.

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.
