John Lloyd Young's Birth Card: The Jack of Diamonds
The Successful 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
John Lloyd Mills Young (born July 4, 1975) is an American actor. The birth-card coordinate for July 4 is the Jack of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 2006 Best Actor in a Musical (Jersey Boys) win.

The Jack of Diamonds coordinate
John Lloyd Young's birthday maps to the Jack of Diamonds (The Successful 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 John Lloyd Young. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You try a new approach to value and you finish enough of it to know if it works.
John Lloyd Young in the public record
In 2006, he won the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his role as Frankie Valli in Broadway's Jersey Boys. He is the only American actor to date to have received a Lead Actor in a Musical Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Theatre World Award for a Broadway debut. Young sang lead vocals on the Grammy Award-winning Jersey Boys cast album, certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Young reprised his role as Frankie Valli in Warner Brothers' film adaptation of Jersey Boys, directed and produced by Clint Eastwood and released June 20, 2014.

He resigned from the President's Committee in August 2017, co-signing a letter of resignation that said in reference to President Trump, "Ignoring your hateful rhetoric would have made us complicit in your words and actions."

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.
