Known also as the Daughter of the Firmament and Dweller between the Waters, The Star is aligned with Aquarius. Representing connection to Universal Intelligence, clarity of vision and abiding hope, the Star is a welcome sight in any reading. Aquarius is the symbol of the water bearer who brings the spiritual life giving waters in service to earth and humankind. Often portrayed as a woman, Aquarius androgynous nature is embodied in the story of Ganymede, the beautiful youth who captivated the heart of Zeus and caused him to replace Hebes, the goddess of youth, as his cup-bearer. When The Star appears on your horizon, there is reason for hope and joy and whatever has been bothering or perplexing you will soon pass - there are good tidings coming and you can feel them and they lift your spirits like nothing else. It is indeed a sign that the gods are smiling on you, and you will soon be favoured with a vision for your future and a knowing also that all shall be well in your world. The time has come for you to allow a new understanding and new and abundant possibilities for your life. This is what you have been hoping for and dreaming about, and you will feel the energy of its unfolding. Don't block this awakening of yours by questioning and doubt, but by the same token, keep your feet planted firmly on the ground, as the euphoria you are likely to be feeling now will carry you away and you may forget yourself. This card can also mean you represent a ray of hope to someone close to you who has fallen into darkness. You can hold the light of hope and clarity for them and bring them back into joy and assist them to recover their lust for life. Such is the power of The Star. Your steadiness and kindness in this time and your willingness to be the lightbearer for them will mean the world of difference to someone who cannot do so for themselves. Now is the time to connect with your powers of vision and consciousness. “There was a star danced, and under that was I born.”― William Shakespeare (Beatrice, Much Ado About Nothing) Image "The Star" © zachlost.deviantart.com
