The Queen of Diamonds coordinate
Audra McDonald's birthday maps to the Queen of Diamonds (The Prosperous Nurturer). 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 Audra McDonald. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You protect what you have without making every dollar a referendum on safety.
