James Corden's Birth Card: The 4 of Clubs
The Systematic Builder
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict a Tony Award.
In the record
James Kimberley Corden (born 22 August 1978) is an English actor, comedian, writer, producer, singer, and television host. The birth-card coordinate for August 22 is the 4 of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 2012 Best Actor in a Play (One Man, Two Guvnors) win.

The 4 of Clubs coordinate
James Corden's birthday maps to the 4 of Clubs (The Systematic Builder). 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 James Corden. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You put knowledge into an order other people can actually use.

Where the record meets the 4 of Clubs
A card is a calendar coordinate, not a cause. What follows sets one line of the card's own published language beside one sentence of the sourced record, paired by a documented rule. It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about James Corden, and not a forecast of a Tony.
