Terry Chimes's Birth Card: The 10 of Diamonds
The Wealthy Master
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
Terence Chimes (born 5 July 1956) is an English musician, best known as the original drummer of punk rock group the Clash. The birth-card coordinate for July 5 is the 10 of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 2003 Performers with The Clash induction.

The 10 of Diamonds coordinate
Terry Chimes's birthday maps to the 10 of Diamonds (The Wealthy Master). 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 Terry Chimes. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You build enough and keep it structured so it actually holds.
Terry Chimes in the public record
He played with them from July 1976 to November 1976, January 1977 to April 1977, and again from May 1982 to February 1983 both preceding and succeeding his replacement Topper Headon. Chimes also drummed for Generation X from 1980 to 1981, Hanoi Rocks in 1985, and Black Sabbath from 1987 to 1988. In 2003, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Clash. Terry Chimes met Mick Jones and Paul Simonon through the local music scene, and would team up with Joe Strummer and Keith Levene to form the Clash. Both Chimes and Levene subsequently left, but Chimes was brought back to record the band's self-titled debut album, The Clash. On the album sleeve, he was credited as Tory Crimes. After recording the album, Chimes left the band once again and was replaced by Topper Headon. In 1982, Headon was forced out of the band due to his drug addiction, and Chimes was asked to rejoin.

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