Paulo Szot's Birth Card: The 8 of Diamonds
The Businessman
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
Paulo Szot is a Brazilian operatic baritone singer and actor. The birth-card coordinate for July 7 is the 8 of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 2008 Best Actor in a Musical (Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific) win.

- 2008 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical — Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific as Emile de Becque
The 8 of Diamonds coordinate
Paulo Szot's birthday maps to the 8 of Diamonds (The Businessman). 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 Paulo Szot. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You run the money system in the open and you can explain the call.

Planetary ruling card, karma and Life Spread
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.

FAQ
- What is Paulo Szot's birth card?
- The 8 of Diamonds. July 7 maps to that card through the public Card Blueprints formula. The year of birth is not used.
- Does a birth card predict a Tony Award?
- No. These pages are coordinates, not fortune-telling. A birth card names a calendar day in a 52-card year. It does not forecast awards, character, or fate.
- Where do Paulo Szot's dates come from?
- Birth date 1969-07-07 is Wikidata P569 at day precision (CC0, Gregorian preferred). The Wikipedia person page had no day-precision birth template, so no Wikipedia day was invented. Year-only Wikipedia dates and Wikipedia↔Wikidata conflicts are dropped. Tony Award wins come from the Wikipedia leading-acting lists, which record the Tony Awards. Page hooks and evidence come from the Wikipedia REST summary (CC BY-SA 4.0).
