The 2 of Diamonds coordinate

Corazon Aquino was born January 25, 1933 (1933-01-25). Month 1 and day 25 give solar value 28, which is the 2 of Diamonds (The Financial Partner). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1933 is unused, so Corazon Aquino's 1933 birth year does not move the card. The 2 of Diamonds does not predict a TIME Person of the Year selection and is not a verdict on Corazon Aquino.

Corazon Aquino in the public record

The first female president in Philippine history, Aquino was the most prominent figure of the 1986 People Power Revolution, which ended the two-decade rule of President Ferdinand Marcos and led to the establishment of the current democratic Fifth Philippine Republic. She has been regarded by media outlets as the "Mother of Democracy". Aquino was married to Senator Benigno Aquino Jr., a prominent critic of President Marcos. The couple had five children, including 15th president Benigno Aquino III and entertainer Kris Aquino. After the assassination of her husband on August 21, 1983, she emerged as leader of the opposition against the president. In late 1985, Marcos called for a snap election, and Aquino ran for president with former Senator Salvador Laurel as her running mate for vice president. After the February 7, 1986, presidential election, the Batasang Pambansa proclaimed Marcos and his running mate Arturo Tolentino as the winners, which prompted allegations of electoral fraud and Aquino's call for massive civil disobedience actions. Subsequently, the People Power Revolution, a non-violent mass demonstration movement, took place from February 22 to 25.
