Known also as the Daughter of the Firmament and Dweller between the Waters, The Star is ruled by Aquarius and represents faith, hope and self-trust. Aquarius is the Water Bearer, and linked to the Star Goddess Nuith - she combines the fluid elements of the stars and pours them onto the material plane of earth. The Star is the card of love received, and a warm hope for the future. It signals that your personal Star is about to rise, so when you wish upon a star the goddess hears you and will grant your supplication. When you are wishing on a star you are looking up in a hopeful way, with faith and gratitude for what can be, and not down at the mud and misery which just brings more of the same. This is the key to receiving the blessing of the Star Goddess. It may be this card delivers nothing in the way of fireworks and spectacular changes in your life - it is just as likely that The Star will wrought internal changes that result in feelings of safety, peace and renewed hope for the future, which is so much more valuable than fleeting successes. When you come at life's challenges from a core of self-belief and enduring faith in life, then this attitude will have more far reaching effects and a greater and more sustainable happiness than you could otherwise wish for. Focus on trust in your cherished dream and do not give any thought at all as to what has gone awry before now. It is time to create and hold your vision for what you truly want. “I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.” ― Robert Fulghum Image from "Thoth Tarot" © Aleister Crowley and Lady Frida Harris
