The 2 of Diamonds coordinate

Matthew Broderick's birthday maps to the 2 of Diamonds (The Financial Partner). 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 Matthew Broderick. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You name the exchange out loud and keep it fair for both sides.
