Mystic Monkey: The Star

It’s here! It’s here! 🌟 💫 ⭐️

And now I must play this!

I cannot get this song out of my head when I see this card. Not that its lyrics are relevant, but just the happy sound of it is how The Star in tarot makes me feel, too. Just like, ahhh, I’ve been through hell but now raise my arms and face to the heavens and let the stars sprinkle down and cleanse me. Like I can just splash some cool water on my face and lie back to stare at the night sky. Relax into the serene beauty of it as I take a breather and heal my wounds, tend to some self-care and believe in myself again as I refill my cup and quench my spiritual thirst. Dream again, hope again.

Before this card appears in the tarot’s Major Arcana, the events reflected in the Death, Devil, and Tower cards can royally grind our arses into the ground. All might seem lost afterward as we find ourselves on new terrain, but the Star softly illuminates our way, so we can wish upon it for guidance to something better and more meaningful. We might only bask in dim, distant light at this point, but the future is brighter already. Trust that all is well. We’re reborn into a new land that we can make fertile with renewed optimism and faith; we nourish it in nourishing ourselves and others. So, chin up, li’l buckeroo. Shoot for the stars.

I also drew an oracle card again today, this time from the Lunar Nomad Oracle, and got “The Fish.” I’ve only just started dipping my toe into Lenormand waters, but according to the Lunar Nomad guidebook:

The Fish encourage you to live in flowing water. Water holds psychic vibrations and life-sustaining nutrients. Water nourishes us from the inside out. […] Like groundwater, your vibration moves under the surface of your life, invisible to the naked eye yet essential. […] Love, positivity, generosity, and gratitude raise your vibration. Honor these feelings, seek them out in your experience, and you will attract even more of the same. When you exude these vibrations, blessings cannot help but find you!

Now I see these fish swimming in the waters of the Star card as I revitalize from within to eventually (hopefully!) manifest without. 🐠🌟 🐟

My chosen crystal pairing: a big ol’ hunk of rose quartz, as the quintessential “bubble bath for the emotions.” (Might I recommend popping this crystal into an actual bath for some good vibrations? Try it. You’ll see. 😊)
