Steve Hackett's Birth Card: The King of Diamonds

2010 Performers with Genesis

Born February 12, 1950

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

Stephen Richard Hackett (born 12 February 1950) is an English guitarist who gained prominence as the lead guitarist of the progressive rock band Genesis from 1971 to 1977. The birth-card coordinate for February 12 is the King of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 2010 Performers with Genesis induction.

Rock Hall record

The King of Diamonds coordinate

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

Steve Hackett in the public record

He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Genesis in 2010. Hackett released his first solo album, Voyage of the Acolyte, while still a member of Genesis in 1975. After a series of further solo albums beginning in 1978, Hackett co-founded the supergroup GTR with Steve Howe in 1986. The group released the self-titled album GTR, which peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 in the United States and spawned the Top 20 single "When the Heart Rules the Mind". When Hackett left GTR in 1987, the group disbanded. Hackett then resumed his solo career.

Where the record meets the 10 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 Steve Hackett, and not a forecast of induction.

Planetary period and long-range cards move year by year and are not shown on a static page.

You make room for a lot of people and still keep a self inside the room. Your heart works at scale—you create belonging for families, groups, and communities, not just individuals. You're the one who makes everyone feel included, the emotional center of gravity in a room. Love, for you, is something you build collectively.
