Interpretation & Meaning

You feel your guts explode every time you’re seeing red, wear rose-colored glasses whenever he texts something clever, see a problem in black and white if it hits too close to home.

If the human perception is a chromatic one, #007BA7 is the color that tints our world when we believe we’re seeing clearly. Except clearly is rarely on the menu.

When this card shows up in a reading, you’re projecting your needs, narratives and expectations on the world around you without taking into account other people’s perspectives.

This is the card of self-centeredness , entitlement and narcissism. The lenses you’re using to look at the world are distorting your reality, either because of a sheltered experience or an inflated ego. It’s time you learn to accommodate views and needs that are not your own and see the universe through a plethora of eyes.

In order to achieve your goals, you need to embrace the fact that your reality is subjective and you don’t know as much as you think you do.

Start doubting yourself, check your privilege and try to impose a different, broader perspective on the problem you are facing.

Keywords: subjectivity • entitlement • bias • narcissism • arrogance • self-absorption • judgmental attitude • ignorance • selfishness • self-interest • superiority complex • othering • privilege • vanity

Interpretation within the Game of Cracks

The Soil
In the Soil position, this card suggests a situation or environment that very much revolves around the needs of one single person (which may or may not be the consultant). It might refer to a sheltered existence or even a spoiled, privileged one.
The Knot
As the Knot, this card symbolizes the tension between blind subjectivity and woke open-mindedness. In order to advance in your journey, you have to surrender to the idea that your reality isn't dogmatic or necessarily shared by the majority of people
The Eye
When this card shows up as the Eye, it can represent a narcissistic personality who is not in touch with reality or a privileged perspective that does not represent the majority. The consultant might be too focused on their own needs to see what's really going on in the current situation.
The Fall
As the Fall, this card warns you against forcing your point of view on the current situation. It's time to acknowledge there are other perspectives and different priorities than the ones you are selfishly trying to push
The Hook
When this card appears as the Hook, it's an invitation to trust your subjectivity and a confirmation that you're entitled to whatever you're demanding in the current situation. Your perspective is valid, worthy and fully justified, don't let anybody suggest otherwise
The Fruit
In the Fruit position, this card suggests an outcome that will validate the consultant's narrative and put them in the spotlight. Whether that's a privileged position or a moment of fame, the consultant will feel like they're at the center of their universe

Homework & Practice

In order to embody the teachings this card, you can:

  • Expose yourself to stories in movies, books, TV shows, podcasts. Research shows that consuming fiction helps improve perspective taking and understand other people’s motivations and drivers.
  • Start meditating regularly. For many people, meditation provides a stronger connection to the self but also a way to transcend the self and look at certain situations in ways that are less filtered by their subjective lenses.
  • Join a theater group. Acting as a different person will force you to consider perspectives different than your own and adopt point of views you would never adopt otherwise
  • Dissect your identity and make a list of all its building blocks (race, class, gender, sexual orientation, religious affiliations etc.). Take a moment to reflect on how all these aspects of your identity impact the ways you see the world, then try to imagine how different your life and views would be by changing one of those factors.
