Divinatory meaning
This card marks a period of rest and healing. The things your spirit needs to rejuvenate are close at hand and for this time, however short or long, you can exhale and relax. During this time of calm, it is easier to find your true north. The next inhale brings inspiration and an eagerness to continue on, knowing things will be okay in the end.
Advice
Take it easy. Relax and enjoy this respite. Don't wait for the other shoe to drop. Do what you can to restore your mind, body, emotions, and spirit. Identify your North Star and learn to see it under any circumstances.
Reversed
If reversed, ask yourself: Am I hiding my light under a barrel? Where can I find the healing and refreshment I need?
Visual Description
A naked woman kneels at the edge of a shallow pool, long hair falling over her shoulders as she pours water from a vessel into the pool and onto the ground. Pink lotus flowers float on the water around her and bloom at the foreground. A radiant halo surrounds her head and a star-filled deep blue sky with a prominent central star and the Roman numeral XVII crowns the scene, while two stylized trees frame the composition. A decorative banner at the bottom reads "The Star."
