The King of Clubs coordinate

Alan Cumming's birthday maps to the King of Clubs (The Master Leader). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Tony Award and not a verdict on Alan Cumming. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You make the intellectual call in the open and you can revise it.
