(Rose Red)"},"content":{"rendered":"

I\u00a0attended\u00a0Anastasia<\/a>‘s Studio Class on The Star Card. \u00a0We discussed how important the Star is in popular culture and were we find it. She asked us to think of Star\u00a0references and list any and all for about a minute. \u00a0The class wrote their own lists to share. \u00a0The first one I thought of was “Baby I’m a Star” by Prince, followed by this list : “Star light, star bright; Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”; “When You Wish Upon A Star”, and “Star Wars”. \u00a0Others said “Starbucks”; 13 Stars for the first Colonies; Starbuck from\u00a0literature; as well as Star Trek and the Death Star.\u00a0We all realized that stars are everywhere in our\u00a0subconscious\u00a0as well as our world.<\/p>\n

Next we looked at the Star card and chatted about what we each had\u00a0experienced\u00a0when it had come up in a reading. \u00a0For me, many people have pointed out that the Star is a naked woman pouring water into a body of water and on to the ground. \u00a0I have seen this as a person giving away their resources as well as sharing their abundance. \u00a0The others in the class had seen it as a confident person who didn’t need to hide behind clothing to be themselves and were sharing their resources and energy with their world.<\/p>\n

Enlightening us with real-world facts, Anastasia next shared with us the wonders of real stellar objects and the different types that\u00a0exist. \u00a0Beginning\u00a0with the the different types of stars we see; Bright Giants, Supergiants, and Hypergiants; these are just some of the ways scientists classify types of stars. \u00a0We noted that groups like constellations can also \u00a0can be charted. \u00a0Stars are rarely alone and have bodies that revolve around them. \u00a0Many groups have a central figure or pairing and it is built around these. \u00a0Most groups can be charted and it is amazing to me to see how everyone one knows fits in to their own constellations and where these groups \u00a0intersect.\u00a0She also shared with us the beauty that can be found in space from images that were gathered by the Hubble Telescope. \u00a0They were amazing and\u00a0inspirational.<\/p>\n

Following that, we discussed the many different way that star symbols have been used in philosophy, religion, and mythology. The 4 point star was usually\u00a0recognized\u00a0as the The Star of the Magi. The 5 point star was the\u00a0pentacle, as well as seen as the manifestation of the 5 senses or the divine manifested on the physical plane. \u00a0The 6 point star was seen as the Star of Solomon and as the they symbol of\u00a0Judaism. The 7 point star is also\u00a0referred\u00a0to as the star of the Magi but also as the Fairy Star or Elven Star. The 8 pointed star is seen as the star of regeneration as well as the North Star. The 12 point star often is seen as the representation of the 12 signs of the zodiac as well as the 12 apostles.<\/p>\n

We discussed the many meanings of the Star Card over the years. \u00a0It was interesting to see how its meaning had\u00a0evolved\u00a0over time.\u00a0 Still my favorite was Rachel Pollack<\/a>‘s which was “life, restoration after darkness”.<\/p>\n

We talked about how the Star card influences other cards in a reading and what we could see when we put it with, for example, the following cards: The Empress, the Wheel of\u00a0Fortune, Justice, The Moon, and the Sun as well as the four 8s from the Pip cards. \u00a0Next we partnered up and \u00a0pulled the Star card out of our decks and then shuffled the rest and pulled one for ourselves to interact with the Star card. \u00a0I shuffled and got the Hierophant. \u00a0My partner saw these two together and said to me that I should look into teaching and sharing what I have learned over the years; maybe it was time to be the teacher and share my gathered traditions and insights with others.<\/p>\n

Finally, Anastasia took us on a guided meditation and we went into the Star card to see what we could and interacted with the characters in the card. \u00a0I went in and asked the Lady by the water what knowledge she could share with me to help me move forward with my craft as well as sharing my knowledge. She said: “I can’t give you what you already have. \u00a0You just need to follow your heart more and stop doubting yourself.” \u00a0I guess I really do need to get out there and teach that class I was offered!<\/p>\n

I truly enjoyed attending Anastasia’s class. It gave me insight into a card that has sometimes been difficult for me to use. It also\u00a0expanded my ideas about what the Star card can mean to others as well. Seeing awesome images of real stars that have so inspired humanity certainly helped!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
