The King of Clubs coordinate
John Foster Dulles was born February 25, 1888 (1888-02-25). Month 2 and day 25 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 1888 is unused, so John Foster Dulles's 1888 birth year does not move the card. The King of Clubs does not predict a TIME Person of the Year selection and is not a verdict on John Foster Dulles.
