The 3 of Spades coordinate

Katinka Hosszú was born May 3 (1989-05-03). 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 1989 is unused. The 3 of Spades does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Katinka Hosszú for Hungary. Quoted system copy for the 3 of Spades, not a biography of Katinka Hosszú: 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.
