The 10 of Clubs coordinate

Norbert Leo Butz'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 Norbert Leo Butz. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You carry a finished body of knowledge and keep teaching from it.

You run the money system in the open and you can explain the call. You approach resources as something to master and control. You're ambitious, competitive, and strategic. You know how to play the game and win.

Butz's projects include the film Dan in Real Life (with Steve Carell, Juliette Binoche, and Dane Cook), released in October 2007, the world premiere of Is He Dead?, a hitherto unproduced Mark Twain play that opened at Broadway's Lyceum Theatre on December 9, 2007, and Fifty Words Off-Broadway with Elizebeth Marvel at the Lucille Lortel Theatre (2008).
