Here we present a most lovely embodiment of the sacred Star, number 17 of the Major Arcana. Following the torment of the Devil (the last 4 years with 45,) and the Chaos of the Tower (2020 as a whole,) each and every one of us is in need of a relieving cleanse like only the Star frequency can offer. The Star awakens us to a time of healing, an opportunity to rejuvenate after we have struggled to fight with all we have during a time of crisis. They offer us, even for just a moment, a respite from a stage of blight and dismay. As the Star draws from the Universal Pool of collective imagination and memory, we find ourselves liberated from the illusion of isolation, the burden of survival. The Star sings us back to the our core nature, invites us further along the glorious path of our true calling. With renewed self-worth, we return to awareness of our precious and unique qualities that only we can shine into being.
By reclaiming our resilience and the gems that emerge from the pressure of turmoil, we are rewarded with a wealth of Self to offer back to the Collective. The Star pours back into the pool of togetherness from the heart. 2021 will grant us with a chance to come into our humanitarian prowess in a ways unlike any other era has required. Thru acts of mutual aid, community and self care, education and communication, we may uplift a global faith in humanity and ignite visions for the future never before perceived.
The Star asks us to savor the present, and reminds us that although interdependency is the only way forward, we have nothing to prove. Our worth is self-evident, as we arrive at new levels of self-possession. The calm starry eye amidst the storm is a moment of revelation. Offer others inspiration from your own tale of triumph, listen deeply to the stories of others, for there is much to learn and much to gain from one another as we dance together into the next age.
