Jim Dale's Birth Card: The Jack of Clubs
The Creative Messenger
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
Jim Dale (born James Smith; 15 August 1935) is an English actor, narrator, singer and songwriter. The birth-card coordinate for August 15 is the Jack of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1980 Best Actor in a Musical (Barnum) win.

The Jack of Clubs coordinate
Jim Dale's birthday maps to the Jack of Clubs (The Creative Messenger). 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 Jim Dale. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You bring a new angle and you let someone pressure-test it before it ships.

Birth card from the month and day. Karma cards are fixed to the birth card. The planetary ruling card comes from the sun sign's ruling planet — the signs with two rulers carry two. The Life Spread is the birth card's fixed row of nine in the Life Spread — the cards that colour each 52-day period for life. Planetary period and long-range cards move year by year and are not shown on a static page.
No sentence in the sourced record shows a clear echo of the published language for J♣, 10♥, J♦, 9♦, 7♠, 2♣, K♣, 4♥, 4♦, 2♠, 8♥. None is claimed here. The coordinate rests on the calendar date alone, and this page does not forecast a Tony.
