The 2 of Diamonds coordinate

Vladimir Putin was born October 7, 1952 (1952-10-07). Month 10 and day 7 give solar value 28, which is the 2 of Diamonds (The Financial Partner). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1952 is unused, so Vladimir Putin's 1952 birth year does not move the card. The 2 of Diamonds does not predict a TIME Person of the Year selection and is not a verdict on Vladimir Putin.
