Card Meanings: The Ace

[catko]

The challenge at gameofcards is to do art/writing on the theme of playing cards. Up first: The Ace. Like the Tarot they are based on, "regular" playing cards have meanings given certain schools of thought. I started with this one, Cards of Life, that associates each card with certain birthdates, and certain life qualities.

So, first, a Tumblr graphic with the qualities, then a picspam of various individuals born on the key dates. You tell me if (1) you can identify the individuals; and (2) whether they fit the qualities! [Scan around at the link for the names if you want; you can also look up your own birthdate there!]

Cool way to represent the theme. I recognized most, but would never have recognized kipling if not for the quote next to his pic. Also didn't recognze the boxer or the model/actress. I can never tell if someone matches the description on these things - I had enough trouble with Myers Briggs LOL.

Nice job!

Thanks! Oh, I know. A lot of these seem so generic, it's like anyone could fit. I have found a few that seem to work--my Myers Briggs is pretty right-on, and I love the Enneagram...
