THE RIVER OF CONSCIOUSNESS<\/span><\/span><\/h2>

The Star is pouring water from two vessels: one of gold, one of silver.\u00a0 The Golden cup is the cup of Chokmah (Sun) \u2013 father energy and the Silver Cup is that of Binah (Moon) \u2013 mother energy. \u00a0Thus, as the contents is poured -it forms a river at the Star\u2019s feet.\u00a0Therefore, The Star is merging the two streams of individual consciousness with the greater mindfulness.<\/p>

The Star is the very epitome of the Great Mother – but at the level of our personality. \u00a0She is not covered – she is totally nude. \u00a0For in nature, human form is perfection itself. \u00a0The Star is also the same figure as the other Mother: \u00a0The Empress<\/a> .<\/p>

THE PATH<\/span><\/span><\/h2>

The Path of The Star on the Tree of Life is that of Tzaddi \u2013 connecting Netzach (Victory) with Yesod (Foundation).\u00a0 It is a very powerful path. It reminds us that we too, carry Divine perfection in us. \u00a0It shows us the approach to Divine Energy itself.<\/p>

On top of The Star is a 7- pointed star shining brightly. That’s because the entire universe is LOVE.\u00a0 The number 7 is associated with Venus as the seventh Sephirah Netzach is ruled by this planet.<\/p>

Around the main 7-pointed star are 14 other stars (all add up to 21 = number of Ehieh, God name of Keter), thus telling us that the relationship of this Path to the Godhead is far more direct than is obvious on the surface.\u00a0<\/p>

Finally, next to The Star is the bird Ibis \u2013 representing Thoth \u2013 god of Wisdom.\u00a0 It is also a reference to the Magician<\/a> and the will. It points out that wisdom emerges from a right understanding and control of the daily aspects of our lives.<\/p>

THE SIGN OF AQUARIUS<\/span><\/span><\/h2>

The Star is against a dark blue sky with the constellation of Aquarius in the background. Aquarius is a very watery sign \u2013 water being the very symbol of the Unconscious. \u00a0Aquarius is all about the individual and uniqueness and yet has an overall humanitarian outlook. The Star shares these qualities in that it is trying to remind us about the divinity and uniqueness within us and yet encouraging us to be\u00a0a conduit for bringing down our highest potential.<\/p>

Therefore, The Star exemplifies the highest level of the Personality\u2019s intuition, as opposed to the Path of the Sun, which is the highest level to be reached by the intellect.<\/p>

TRANSITION FROM THE TOWER<\/span><\/span><\/h2>

There is a reason the Star follows\u00a0the Tower<\/a>. \u00a0It is here to bring us hope after a crash. It is also a wishing star, reminding you to dream and find inspiration in your dreams. \u00a0The Star is also a reminder that in order to achieve those dreams, you need to let go of the past and the bitterness and hatred it may carry. Furthermore, you will need to first learn to practice forgiveness on yourself, before starting to apply it to others.<\/p>

This transition from The Tower<\/a> to The Star is about moving from the trauma of grappling with and trying to hang on to our present thoughts, attitudes and identity in\u00a0The Tower to letting them flow and just be there with acceptance and without struggle in\u00a0The Star.<\/p>
