The 2 of Spades coordinate

Jeff Bezos was born January 12, 1964 (1964-01-12). Month 1 and day 12 give solar value 41, which is the 2 of Spades (The Skeptical Partner). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1964 is unused, so Jeff Bezos's 1964 birth year does not move the card.
