The 9 of Diamonds coordinate

Bono was born May 10, 1960 (1960-05-10). Month 5 and day 10 give solar value 35, which is the 9 of Diamonds (The Universal Provider). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1960 is unused, so Bono's 1960 birth year does not move the card. The 9 of Diamonds does not predict a TIME Person of the Year selection and is not a verdict on Bono. Quoted system copy for the 9 of Diamonds, not a biography of Bono: You give in a way you can sustain, and you let someone give back. You think about resources in terms of universal good and human need. You want to provide for humanity. Your vision is about abundance for all. Harvested gifts listed for the 9 of Diamonds: Visionary thinking about resource distribution; Generous impulse toward universal good; Ability to inspire others to contribute; Natural idealism about abundance. Harvested life-direction line for the 9 of Diamonds: Your curriculum is learning that you can't help anyone if you destroy yourself. You're learning to secure your own oxygen mask first.
