The 8 of Clubs coordinate

Dwight D. Eisenhower was born October 14, 1890 (1890-10-14). Month 10 and day 14 give solar value 21, which is the 8 of Clubs (The Ambitious Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1890 is unused, so Dwight D. Eisenhower's 1890 birth year does not move the card. The 8 of Clubs does not predict a TIME Person of the Year selection and is not a verdict on Dwight D. Eisenhower. Quoted system copy for the 8 of Clubs, not a biography of Dwight D.
