The 7 of Diamonds coordinate

George Clymer's birthday maps to the 7 of Diamonds (The Skeptical Investor). 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 the Declaration and not a verdict on George Clymer. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You look at worth without reducing it to the account balance.
