Revisiting Tarot Card Meanings

The Star

  • Yang, Air, Saturn (?!?) & Uranus, Aquarius
  • Ibis of Thoth
  • Budding red rose bushes; birth and receipt of esoteric knowledge
  • Mastery of the balance between intelligence & love
  • The superego is the dominant level of awareness
  • Releasing energies from the superego to the ego
  • Giving more than you receive
  • Empathy (versus the psychic awareness of the High Priestess)
  • Relief from pain
  • Rekindling of personal motivation through intellectual awakening
  • January 20 . February 18

The Star Reversed

  • Pessimism (mental and intellectual versus emotional)
  • Illness
  • Need for inspiration & to be more confident about the future
  • Tendency towards depression
  • Deep pain

I was not aware of the connection between the eight-pointed star here and the star seen in the crown of the driver in the Chariot card, suggesting the Star as the source of divine empowerment. Success from action and control.

…where on earth is the Saturn correspondence coming from?? Wen lists but does not reference or explore it at all. @Dankquanicus , may I ask for your wizard brains insight here?
