STAR
Universal alignment is your natural state -- Inspiration. Minimalism. Motivation. Creating a new reality. Emotional clearing. Gifts of the heart and soul. Belief. Peace. Pleasure. Space cleared. Hope. Optimism.
SHADOW: Thinking life should always be brimming with pleasure. The assumption that fairy tales are true. Thinking outer perfection is everlasting. Preconceived ideas of everlasting bliss lead to disappointment and distress. Using others to justify your behavior. Trying to make things nice on the outside when the inside is festering. Dishonesty. Shallow thoughts and behavior.
The Tower has been toppled, and the Shadow Witch makes her way through smoldering rubble to discover a vast and peacefulbody of water. Under a clear sky, she sheds her clothing and sits at the water's edge to bathe in starlight. A single toe gently breaks the surface. She teeters on an ancient tree while looking skyward.
The Star is the open, generous space emerging after the Tower destroys what is no longer needed. The Star is the inspired space available after a true energetic clearing. The Star reflects freedom. It reminds you of what is possible when it is hard to see through the static. The Star is the opening of the soul. It is the card of possibility, life, and connection. It is the breeding ground of true magic.
Generosity fills the Star card with the ability to be kind to others and the self. Jubilation illuminates you like helium in a balloon. The body is alive and open, warm, and receiving. This state of reception allows ingenious ideas to burst forth. An unexpected possibility, a thrilling opportunity, or a situation beyond your wildest dreams becomes available to you.
The Star is naked, losing all self-consciousness. She is vulnerable yet active. Celestial radiance showers upon her. This is the energy of artist and muse. It reflects your connection to water, earth, and sky. She operates freely. The Devil has relinquished his grip. The Tower cleared the decks. You radiate hope, relief, and pleasure.
