The Jack of Hearts coordinate

Coleen Rowley was born December 20, 1954 (1954-12-20). Month 12 and day 20 give solar value 11, which is the Jack of Hearts (The Romantic Messenger). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1954 is unused, so Coleen Rowley's 1954 birth year does not move the card.
