Angel Paths for August 10 - The Star
msesheta
The Star (or Daughter of the Firmament)
is numbered seventeen and is probably the most optimistic
and beautiful card in the deck. A beautiful young woman,
often naked, is depicted pouring water from a jug into the
ground or into a pool by her feet. There are stars in the
sky above her.
Stars have long been seen as symbols of hope,
regeneration, vision and new life. When this card appears,
you know somehow that life is just about to become easier
and brighter. Life's forces combine to assist rather than
hinder.
Here is the truth about our power - we can join the solid
earth of material existence with the flowing waters of
spirit and create within ourselves a Universe. We have
removed self-criticism and concentrated instead on our
skills and strengths. When we regard ourselves with love,
humour, tenderness and sympathy, we access the God and
Goddess within and we are transformed.
"Every man and woman is a star" A. Crowley
Working with The Star
This card is the best one in the entire deck, in my
opinion. It marks a point where fortune smiles upon us,
lighting up our dreams, hopes and wishes with the promise
of fulfilment and manifestation.
The first time I drew this card on the 'Working with....'
run it followed the 9 of Cups (the Wish card) and the
Princess of Cups (dancer of dreams) and was the 57th card
I had written a commentary on. Somehow there was no better
time the Star could possibly have come up for the first
time.......
This card always marks a turning point, where positive
energy flows into life in a swift-running stream. All that
is left for us to do is to open ourselves to the
remarkable powers which are always present when this card
appears.
Times like this one make miracles in life. We can attune
with the powers of the Universe more easily now than at
most other times. We can reach out and touch whatever it
is that we call God or Goddess, and welcome their presence
and might in our lives.
On a day ruled by this card, dream the best way you know
how to....and realise that your dreams stand a greater
chance of coming true than at any other time. Wish your
wishes ....and fill them up with as much hope and light as
you can possibly manage.
Then be glad to be alive on a day like this.
Affirmation: I can create anything I need.
