The way I see the Star, it represents the star that is inside all of us - the bright light that illuminates all that is around us and continues to give warmth, light, and clarity far beyond its lifespan. It's hard not to see the Sun and the Star as similar images, which they sort of are, but I think the Star is more personal whereas the Sun is working on a more significant, macrocosmic level. I feel that I'm starting to see a pattern in the last few days of Tarot draws that I've been sharing - it's about beginning to see my path and to live life in the way I know to be true.
This card is about personal transformation, living your true self and working towards the things that are important to you. As you grow into your person, it is wise to share your good fortune with others and help them to develop just as others have helped you to shine and move towards progress. The card itself shows a nude woman, one foot on land and one in the water - refreshing both the pool and the rivers that run across the earth.
This past week has been reminding me that I need to continue to work towards my own goals and to be true to myself, that life is full of hardship, but that doesn't mean that it's okay to give up and follow the status quo. Sometimes life must be lived unconventionally, and I have to be okay with that. Chaos is ok because chaos is unlimited potential.
I'm also going to share with you the Lunar Mansion that's associated with today, it's called Al-Sarfah, and it is the 12th mansion. The essence of today is conflict and confrontation, obstacles and a rich harvest - it is a good day for gardening, agriculture, building, sending messages, service and work for others but it is a poor day for marriage, personal relationships and journeying by sea.
What I really like about using the Lunar Mansions as a daily guide is that it's a quick and easy way to see what the cosmic weather looks like for the day which allows you to plan your week/month out accordingly. If you'd like to learn more about the Mansions, click through the link and have a read.
