The Ace of Diamonds coordinate

Robert Morse's birthday maps to the Ace of Diamonds (The Wealth Pioneer). 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 Robert Morse. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You start a resource in motion because you trust you can make and keep value.

Morse was also Tony-nominated for Say, Darling (1959), Take Me Along (1960), and Sugar (1973).
