XVII ~ The Star



After a long debate between Strength and The Star, I chose to go with The Star. The card depicts a red-headed woman sitting in space, directly above a planet. She wears a royal blue dress with jewels hanging from her belt. Her eyes are closed and her facial expression appears sad, but also carefree. The woman holds a gold canister upside down, dumping several multicolored jewels onto the planet. Based on the deck's book, I assume the planet is Earth - although it is only blue and white, without any green - because it reads that the woman "pours the invigorating waters recycled from the abundant springs of life over mankind." The woman is referred to as "Hebe," who is the Greek goddess of youth. According to the same book, this card symbolizes renewal, hope and new beginnings after harsh times. Hebe probably appears unhappy on the card, due to tough periods of time in the past.
