The Star is the GPS of the tarot. This card symbolizes our universal connection. An inexhaustible source, it is full of everything it gives. Its generosity is matched only by its purity, which it offers to the world without adornment or pretense. Like the North Star, it guides us to the treasures that our nature abounds with. The Star is the card of integrity... and of returning to our inner knowledge. The mouth on its abdomen reminds us of the kinship between instinct and intuition. Since this "second brain" contains at least as many neurons as a dog's brain, we might as well listen when it whispers in our ear. The belly is the body's nurturing seat, and the navel at its center recalls our intrauterine life and the primordial maternal bond. Through this metaphorical insight, The Star seems to whisper the secrets of our incarnation. It thus leads us to the primary ecology of our vocation: to pick the golden apple, take a big bite... and scatter its seeds to the winds. Its wish: "Nurture your pearl, for you are its only setting."
