The Star Month

Air

This month your card is the Star. Something is coming back that went away for a while. Notice it. Let it be small. You don't have to announce a recovery or perform a comeback. The thing to watch: the Star month can tip into bypassing, reaching for the light as a way of not finishing the dark. If there's still some dark to be in, be in it. The Star is patient. The renewal comes when it comes.

The card behind the month

Your month card is The Star, one of the twenty-two Majors. Here’s what it means at full length.

The Star is the part of you that hopes again after it had every reason to stop. It is renewal, gentleness, the faith that returns once the worst has passed. It is the hope that comes as the storm starts to peter out.
