Card 17

The Star

Brief Description

The Star represents a guiding force that leads a person toward their highest purpose. Like stars that illuminate our path even when hidden by clouds, this card encourages trust in the world's ability to help manifest our intentions, provided we continue taking steps toward our goals. However, the star remains distant, and not everyone can reach the heights needed to gain a bird's-eye view of their prospects.

Guiding Force and Higher Purpose

The Star is a guiding force that leads a person toward their highest purpose. Stars are not always visible in the sky, but they illuminate our path even when hidden by clouds.

Trust and Divine Assistance

It is worth trusting the world and allowing it the opportunity to help in manifesting what has been conceived – provided that steps toward this goal continue to be taken.

Distance and Perspective

On the other hand, a star is always 'somewhere out there,' and not everyone can reach the necessary heights to survey prospects from a 'bird's-eye view.'

Symbolism

The card depicts the mythical paradise bird Gamayun, which foretells good fortune and happiness.

Visual Description

A crowned, winged figure with braided hair stands before an ornate architectural frame, a large gilded starburst placed over their chest. The figure wears a crown of stars, green-scaled wings, and a necklace of pendants; small stars and a decorative key motif float in the surrounding field. A banner at the card's base reads 'THE STAR' in block letters, and a Roman numeral XVII appears at the top. The palette is teal, gold, and cream, with subtle textured speckles across the background.
