The Star – XVII

Known also as the Daughter of the Firmament and the Dweller between the Waters, The Star is ruled by Aquarius and represents connection to the Source, the return of hope and trust in one's Self. The StarAquarius is the Water Bearer and is the sign of rebellion and reform which is instrumental in creating momentous change.

It is focused on the good of all, the bigger picture and is not interested in small individual concerns but instead seeks the vision and the possibility that can only be realised with expanding one's vision for oneself.

This card is also a symbol of the Seven Sisters, the Pleiades, who were companions of Aphrodite and prophetic priestesses. The water being poured from the two vessels represents the cleansing power of the waters and the washing away of suffering and despair.

Water as a spiritual and feminine element brings abundance of love and hope and healing. This is such a wonderful card to draw, especially when you have been facing difficulties in your life.

It is a sign of hope and cosmic inspiration that arrives in the nick of time. Another aspect of this card is receiving tangible assistance from unexpected quarters that can turn your whole perspective around.

The perfect solution - the thing you most need right now to turn your life around will find you if you let it. It takes faith, and focus and belief as well. Follow your star but first understand what that is for you.

It may be in the form of a new job, a chance meeting, a fortunate turn of events - whatever it is, it has the power to restore your faith in life, and that you, as much as anyone who ever lived and hoped and dreamed, will find the thing you need the most. Connect to your creative powers of visualisation and see what comes to you - it is possible to create and attract miracles.
