Martin Short's Birth Card: The 10 of Clubs
The Master 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
Martin Hayter Short (born March 26, 1950) is a Canadian comedian, actor, singer, and writer. The birth-card coordinate for March 26 is the 10 of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1999 Best Actor in a Musical (Little Me) win.

The 10 of Clubs coordinate
Martin Short's birthday maps to the 10 of Clubs (The Master 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 Martin Short. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You carry a finished body of knowledge and keep teaching from it.

Where the record meets the 10 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 Martin Short, and not a forecast of a Tony.
