The 3 of Spades coordinate

Christopher Cross was born May 3, 1951 (1951-05-03). Month 5 and day 3 give solar value 42, which is the 3 of Spades (The Sorrowful Truth). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1951 is unused, so Christopher Cross's 1951 birth year does not move the card. The 3 of Spades does not predict a Grammy Album of the Year and is not a verdict on Christopher Cross. Quoted system copy for the 3 of Spades, not a biography of Christopher Cross: You stay with the hard feeling long enough to learn it, then you let the day continue. You see what's wrong, what's broken, what's unfair. Your mind is naturally oriented toward problems and suffering. You're the truth-teller about darkness.
