Major Arcana - The Star

Leaving the Tower behind the Fool is drawn to the brightest Star in the sky, Sirius or Hope. A young naked woman is pouring water from two receptacles, it's symbolic of the elixir of energy. One receptacle is emptied in a small lake, the other on the ground, this symbolises the connection between the Inner and outer world, the Emotional and physical. The two trees in the background are the same two trees found in Paradise, the Tree of Life and that of Knowledge. The ibis is the Connection between Heaven and Earth. The butterfly representing the Soul. The Star leads the way, quiets the mind and heals. The Seven stars around it is the Seven Pillars of Wisdom or Truth.

The Fool must learn to trust his Guiding Star, to always keep Love, Truth and Hope closest to his Heart moving forward to fulfil his Destiny. Happiness and the promise of positive developments are the symbols of the Star. As the Fool journeys on his Path he must trust his Creativity, Intuition and have the Courage to follow his Idealism. He's expanding his mind to a much more Spiritual mindset...

In the Kabbalah the number 17 is connected to Light in the darkness, a new life and strength. The symbolism of the eight sided Star is that of hope and success. It provides confidence, happiness and support in times of hardship.

The Star will always support you as soon as you reach further than you thought possible before. The Star bestows you with confidence and happiness as you move towards the expansion of your consciousness. Both Aquarius and Nuit share the sign of two irregular lines, keep that in mind when you reach for the Stars...

 

Major Arcana - The Chariot

Having gone through the first six trials of life the Fool finally realises some semblance of versatility and stability in his personality. The black horse symbolises control over the material plane and the white dedication. Here the Fool learns to balance his personality between good and evil, he learns how to wield his newfound power with responsibility and humbleness. 

Achieving harmony is essential to happiness and expression of Love, the Fool must learn to balance the opposing forces of the physical and the spiritual. Utilising his personal powers to allow his soul to transcend. Uniting spirit and body, heaven and earth. Achieving such harmony allows you to progress through life without fear, helping you judge situations sensible, preventing you from becoming passive. 

In the Kabbalah the number seven symbolises truth and sacrifice. In the Bible the enemies flee on seven roads and the dragon of the apocalypse has seven heads. Seven is achieved by adding four and three, joining Earth and Heaven in the ideal order of the Universe, balance. Change, progress and success is indicated by the number seven.

The Chariot helps you achieve and establish control of your life. The charioteer symbolises your ability to harmonise all the opposing forces we have to balance in our lives. With today's busy lifestyle it's extra important to keep adjusting and rebalancing your passions and demands in life so you can maintain harmony and drive.
