The King of Spades coordinate

Frank Langella's birthday maps to the King of Spades (The Master of Thought). 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 Frank Langella. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You make the hard call without pretending you have no interior.
