Greetings, you've come to the right place to learn all about the magic of Tarot! As a professional astrologer and Tarot reader, let me tell you - Tarot is so much more than just a deck of cards. It's a tool for unlocking the mysteries of the universe, a mirror for reflecting our deepest fears and desires, and a map for navigating our spiritual journeys.
Tarot has long been shrouded in superstition and mystery, leading many to believe in old wives' tales about the practice. One common misconception is that tarot readings are inherently evil or can conjure negative energy. In reality, tarot is simply a tool for self-discovery and introspection, and it can only have the power that you give it. Another myth is that tarot readers can predict the future with absolute certainty. While tarot can offer guidance and insight, the future is ultimately determined by free will and the choices we make in our lives. By understanding these misconceptions, we can approach tarot with a clear and open mind, allowing us to fully appreciate the wisdom and guidance it can offer.
Now, let's talk about the structure of the Tarot deck. There are 78 cards in total, divided into two groups - the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana (also known as the suit cards). The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards that represent archetypal energies and major life themes, such as The Fool, The Lovers, and, of course, The Star- our focus of this article. The Minor Arcana consists of four suits (Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles), each with 14 cards that represent different aspects of everyday life, such as work, relationships, and personal growth.
It's important to note that Tarot is not the same as playing cards. While both decks have a similar structure (four suits and numbered cards), Tarot cards also have the 22 Major Arcana cards that represent deeper spiritual themes. While it is possible for an experienced reader to use a standard deck of playing cards for divination, it is important to note that the Tarot deck offers a unique and comprehensive tool for divination and self-exploration. The Major Arcana cards in particular, with their powerful archetypal imagery and symbolism, provide a depth of insight that cannot be replicated with playing cards alone. So while playing cards may offer some limited insight, for a full and meaningful Tarot reading, it is best to use a genuine Tarot deck with all of its components, including the Major Arcana.
Now, let's focus on the Star card. In Tarot, the Star is a symbol of hope, inspiration, and spiritual guidance. It's associated with the zodiac sign Aquarius and the planet Uranus, which represent innovation, individuality, and freedom. Numerologically, the Star is associated with the number 17, which breaks down to 1 + 7 = 8, a number of balance and manifestation.
When it comes to the appearance of the Star card, it typically features a naked woman pouring water from two jugs into a river or a pool, while looking up at a starry sky. The woman is often depicted kneeling or standing on one foot, suggesting a sense of balance and harmony. The card's color scheme is usually blue and yellow, which represent the union of heaven and earth, spirit and matter, and the blending of masculine and feminine energies.
In terms of the card's feel, the Star is often associated with a sense of calm, serenity, and peacefulness. It represents a time of healing, renewal, and inspiration, and can serve as a powerful reminder to stay hopeful and optimistic in the face of challenges. The card's message is one of trusting in the universe and finding comfort in the knowledge that everything will work out as it should. Ultimately, the Star invites us to tap into our inner guidance, to connect with our intuition and higher self, and to trust in the universe's plan for us.
The Star card often appears when we're going through a period of darkness or uncertainty, offering a glimmer of hope and a reminder to trust in the universe. It invites us to tap into our intuition, follow our dreams, and connect with our higher selves.
Personally, the Star card holds a special place in my heart. It reminds me that even in the darkest of times, there is always a light to guide us. It inspires me to keep reaching for the stars and trusting in the universe's plan for me.
Now, what happens if the Star card appears reversed?
Don't panic! While reversed cards can indicate a block or challenge, they also offer an opportunity for growth and transformation. If the Star appears reversed, it may be a sign that you're feeling disconnected from your inner guidance or struggling to find your sense of purpose. Take some time to meditate, journal, or seek out guidance from a trusted friend or spiritual advisor.
