The King of Clubs coordinate

Elizabeth II was born April 21, 1926 (1926-04-21). Month 4 and day 21 give solar value 26, which is the King of Clubs (The Master Leader). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1926 is unused, so Elizabeth II's 1926 birth year does not move the card.
