George Read (September 18, 1733 – September 21, 1798) was an American politician from New Castle in New Castle County, Delaware. The birth-card coordinate for September 18 is the 6 of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast.

The 6 of Clubs coordinate

George Read's birthday maps to the 6 of Clubs (The Nurturing Creator). 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 Read. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You pass on what you know without disappearing behind the lesson.

George Read in the public record

He was a Continental Congressman from Delaware, a delegate to the U.S. Constitutional Convention of 1787, president of Delaware, and a member of the Federalist Party. In addition, Read served as U.S. Senator from Delaware and chief justice of Delaware. Read was a Founding Father of the United States, one of only two statesmen who signed four of the great state papers on which the country's founding is based: Petition to the King and Continental Association, both passed by the Congress of 1774, as well as the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and Constitution of the United States in 1787. Read was the son of John and Mary (Howell) Read. John Read was born in Dublin, Ireland, the son of an Englishman of large fortune belonging to the family of Read of Berkshire, Hertfordshire, and Oxfordshire. The death of his beloved having left him bereft, John Read came to the American colonies and, with a view of diverting his mind, entered into extensive enterprises in Maryland and Delaware.
