The Ace of Clubs coordinate

Ted Turner was born November 19, 1938 (1938-11-19). Month 11 and day 19 give solar value 14, which is the Ace of Clubs (The Creative Pioneer). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1938 is unused, so Ted Turner's 1938 birth year does not move the card. The Ace of Clubs does not predict a TIME Person of the Year selection and is not a verdict on Ted Turner. Quoted system copy for the Ace of Clubs, not a biography of Ted Turner: You start the new thought while it is still usable. Ideas come through you first.
