Peace After the Storm
This card brings peace after the storm. The Star is a card of healing, calm, and patience, of taking one's time to recover and of being open to the changes that the aftermath of a storm brings, physically or emotionally. It is not an active card, but rather one of reflection. The waters that so passionately beat against the Tower are now still. The figure sits pensively gazing into the calm pool beneath the stars.
Reflection and Rest
Traditionally, the maiden pours water into the pool, but I drew her with her fingers interlocked. The work is done. She need not do anything more than to simply sit and exist, to observe and reflect upon her situation, to make sense of what has passed and what is yet to come.
Symbolism and Solitude
The Star hearkens back to the High Priestess and Temperance and interweaves a lot of their symbolism and meaning—wisdom, balance, and retreat from worldliness. But there is a primal innocence and simplicity to the Star in particular. She is naked, her defenses stripped away. She is peaceful and content in her reflective solitude. The pool where she sits is a place out of time. Rather than a physical environment, I wanted it to feel more like taking a mental and emotional retreat inside of oneself to meditate and start anew.
