Ruled by the Zodiac Sign Aquarius and the element Air, the Star card is full of poignant symbolism. The card is represented by a naked woman.
The woman is seen to be kneeling at the edge of a small pool. The woman holds two containers of water which she pours out. This represents the continuation of the cycle of fertility as the water nourishes the earth to make her fertile. The fertility factor is also represented by the lush greenery in the background.
The water falling on the land forms five rivulets which are considered to be impersonating the five senses. The woman has one food firmly rooted on the ground, while the other is in the water – the former speaks of her common sense and practical knowledge, while the latter is a representation of her intuition and inner resources that contributes to her ability to listen to the inner voice.
Behind her shines one large star and seven smaller stars representing the chakras. They invite human beings to open the chakras and clean the aura. Each of the eight stars has eight points – eight being the number of Strength which is an integral quality required to accept own up one’s faults and to love who you are in spite of those faults.The bird in the tree is the scared Ibis of thought that roots in the Tree of Mind.
