Tony Award record (leading acting)

The Ace of Spades coordinate

Roger Rees's birthday maps to the Ace of Spades (The Truth 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 Roger Rees. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You say the true thing early, before it has to become a crisis to be heard.

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.

Planetary period and long-range cards move year by year and are not shown on a static page.
