The 3 of Diamonds coordinate

Hal Linden's birthday maps to the 3 of Diamonds (The Success Communicator). 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 Hal Linden. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You keep more than one path alive without letting any of them stay imaginary.
