The Star

The Star is the seventeenth card of the Major Arcana. This is the picture that I deliberately conceived prior to creating this card. The young woman is a dear friend of mine who lives in Santa Fe, where I go rather regularly. It is taken before sunset by a pond and she is holding a real ancient jug. I knew she would be perfect for the depiction of the Star.

The Star is a symbol of pure radiant energy manifesting in the world of forms. The card is a reminder that we are all potential vessels to contain and pour the precious light of this magnificent universe. The more we trust our destiny the more our destiny becomes a movement of balance and clarity in the world for all to see and benefit. This result in us experiences self sufficiency so that there is no neediness in our relationships. If all of this resonates in you, you are experiencing a deep recognition of your essence.

If you pick this card it is a reminder that you are both the director and the actor, so if you don't like the script you find yourself in it is time to change it. Know that you have the ability to do so. This card is about self esteem and loving oneself.
