Tommy Tune's Birth Card: The 10 of Clubs
The Master Builder
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
Thomas James Tune (born February 28, 1939) is an American actor, dancer, singer, theatre director, producer, and choreographer. The birth-card coordinate for February 28 is the 10 of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1983 Best Actor in a Musical (My One and Only) win.

The 10 of Clubs coordinate
Tommy Tune'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 Tommy Tune. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You carry a finished body of knowledge and keep teaching from it.

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.

Also on the record
- Tune stands a lanky 6 feet 6+1⁄2 inches (199.4 cm) tall, and at first he found his height to be a disadvantage when auditioning for roles, as he would tower over potential co-stars.
- He wore horizontally striped shirts to auditions, dipped extra low when he did pliés and learned to dance upstage ("I'd look shorter that way.
- It's a law of perspective") to try to overcome it.
- In 1965, Tune made his Broadway debut as a performer in the musical Baker Street.
