The Star
Card XVII
Ruled By Aquarius
This card
is one of the more mysterious ages of the Tarot. A naked
maiden pours water from two pitchers. One stream flows
into a pool, the other on to dry land. Above her, eight
stars shine brightly
while a bird perches in a tree in the background. The idea
of wishing upon a star is at the centre of the card's
meaning. It shows that the universe is not the senseless,
unjust Place that it can seem to be. The Star card shows
that there is always something else, even when the going
is really tough. The card can show a gesture of affection,
perhaps a gift. Remember that the gifts of the Star are
not always material.
Meaning: Insight, understanding and hope for the future.
This card is a good indication that wishes will be
fulfilled, not always as one expects, but even so, the
unexpected can have a good result. The Star shows good
health and that gifts will be given. The spiritual
dimension of life should not be ignored.
Reversed meaning: Tension, pessimism, obstinacy and lack
of opportunity. Bright hopes seem to have been dashed.
