17-The Star – Upright Mage Deck

When upright, the Star trump offers hope and support after the disruption of the Tower card. You are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You have located a trail leading to your destination. There is a promise of peace and tranquility if you continue on your current path. Help may materialize from unexpected sources. You can proceed with faith that the future holds brighter prospects. As Marcus Tullius Cicero said some two thousand years ago, ‘Where there is life, there is hope.’

Keywords Upright: Hope, support, bright prospects, a guiding light, a trail leading to a destination, faith in a better future, inspiration, clarity, peace, tranquility, the possibility of improvement, opportunity for renewal, following a righteous path, the light at the end of the tunnel.

Key XVII: The Star
Myths/Archetypes: The Star of Bethlehem. The Fairy Godmother. The Egyptian sky goddess Nuit (aka Nut, Neuth, Newet). Aquarius, the Water Bearer.
Dates of Aquarius: 20 January–17 February (tropical); 13 February–13 March (sidereal)
Astrology: Aquarius, the Water Bearer (an Air sign ruled by Saturn and Uranus)

Rider Waite: Loss, theft, privation, abandonment; another reading say: hope and bright prospects; (R) arrogance, haughtiness, impotence.

When The Star is upright you can pretty much take it that life is going well but that’s when life takes us by surprise.  If The Star is unclear it may help to choose a card from the Major Arcana to provide more insight into what it is The Star is trying to tell you.  If you had a particular issue in  mind, or want to seek clarification on something else, you can also choose again to get more guidance.

Complete Book of Tarot: Given that the tarot can be used as a form of divination, let’s plunge right in and ask the tarot a question. A logical place to start is to inquire of our tarot deck what it can do for us, but first let me mention some customary terminology. In tarot literature, we call the person who consults (queries) the cards the querent (client, seeker) and the person who interprets the cards the reader. If you interpret your own cards, you are acting as both the querent who queries and the reader who deciphers the message in the cards.
