The Star

The Star is a tarot card which signals positive changes occurring in your life. Events from the past may have caused bad feelings which are beginning to fade away. The Star is a very potent symbol in witchcraft. The pentacle is emblematic of our highest aspirations. When we pursue our dreams we are aiming for the stars. 

The previous card in the tarot deck is The Tower which predicts chaotic events which completely disrupt our existence. The Star appears when we are moving away from this disruptive time and having a phase of renewal.

Optimism is essential at this stage of the game. You will need to believe that positive change can occur in order to facilitate it in your life. This is a time when you are about to get a fresh start. When we make a wish we are looking up to the heavens. We wish upon a star and this is the seed which can blossom into a completely reformed life. 

The Star is associated with the astrological sign of Aquarius. Aquarius governs the 11th house in our natal charts. It is said that the stronger the 11th house is in our birth chart, the better our chances for success will be. This house represents our wishes and whether there is potential to have our dreams come true. When this card appears in a reading we are blessed.

The Fool

The Fool is the first or the last card in the Tarot deck. It is equivalent to the joker of playing card decks. It is a trump card or part of the Major Arcana. It represents the beginning of a journey. There is a childlike innocence and faith in this card. The hero stars off his journey with hopeful enthusiasm. 

The path The Fool is walking upon has not been fully mapped out. An inherent risk is part of any new venture. This risk is symbolized by the cliff which appears beneath The Fool's feet. 

This is the card associated with the 11th path in Kabbalistic path-working. It contains 2 symbols. A hat with a feather and a staff. In the hero's hand we can also see a rose.This is a good card to meditate on when you are experiencing fear issues.

Fortune

I have started working with the Thoth Tarot deck. This deck was designed by Aleister Crowley. The beautiful artwork was painted by Lady Frieda Harris. This deck was missing for the longest time. I moved a bureau out into the hall and found it on the floor. 

Today's card is Jupiter. It is the 10th card in the deck. It is a major arcana card. Jupiter is the planet associated with this card. Jupiter is known as the greater fortune. This would seem to be a fortuitous card to have appear in a reading.

You will note that there are pictures on the card related to the fixed signs in the zodiac. The fixed signs suggest stability. 

Pensions, jobs, and other opportunities are on their way. The wheels of fate are turning in your favor. This is a good time to go ahead with any new opportunities.

5 of Pentacles

The 5 of Pentacles card suggests potential damage on a financial or physical level. The number 5 is associated with disruption in the tarot. This could manifest as job loss, survival struggles, ill health, poor finances, and other negative experiences on a material level. The pentacles suit is related to the element of earth. You might be abusing your body at this time. This card could be a signal to take better care of your health. This card can also signify a lack of support from the people around us. We may feel very vulnerable and alone at this time.

The Hermit

The Hermit is the 9th card in the major arcana. There are many ideas associated with this card. Isolation is suggested by the lone, grey cloaked figure. He carries a lamp in one hand and a staff in the other. This is how it is represented in most decks.

Key Words:
Introspection, Silence, Guidance, Reflection, Solitude, Looking Inward, Reclusion, Being Quiet, Inner Search, Deep Understanding, Isolation, Distance, Retreat, Philosophical Attitude.

There are different ways to interpret this card. It can suggest a need to withdraw from our social lives. It can be that you need to spend time learning from yourself. It can also suggest that you have spent some time alone and have knowledge to share.

This card can also suggest the appearance of a older and wiser person in our lives. This would be somebody with a lot of experience which we can learn from. The hermit integrates knowledge gained in the outer world. He applies this knowledge to himself in order to grow.
