Yes I agree Jime, hope is needed now more than ever. Lighting up our inspiration and motivating us in ways that bring us together rather than tear us down. Truly like you said, it the medicine. Shining upon our way, let us follow it. ❤️

Julie,

I've journeyed over here to "The Shining Star of Hope" after reading your comment on "Hope for Hope's Sake." The correspondences amongst our reflections seem transpersonal. I have learned much in this reflection on the Star card and the eight-pointed star. Thank you.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathies regarding the passing of your friend, a loss to you and others who loved her, surely. Perhaps she had a hand in the Star-card draw.

With love,

Renée

Thanks Renée - Yes the Star Card brought me a lot comfort and hope. It has been about a month now since his passing, the funeral was yesterday... There is much grief, yet there is even more grace in it all for me right now. Something undefinable is taking place because of this experience. A deepening I cannot put words to. A door has opened and I have walked through it but where I am going I still do not know... yet...

I love this so much Julie, so much of the wisdom that comes through to me from my ancestors is about stars. It has reminded me that we are always guided and we only need to look to the stars and star ancestors to find our next move, because it is written there and it has always been so.

Thanks Louise. I was so fascinated to find out about the three stars in our Milky Way galaxy that were part of the big bang. Talk about ancestry! And how many of our ancestors looked to the skies, the formations they found there, that activated the stardust that was part of their bodies... This has opened a new door for me, another layer of depth around the world/universe we live in. And as you said it is "written there and it has always been so."

Gorgeous, Julie! I love the Star card. It was a beacon of support for me last year. I really like the way you brought up the difference between wishing and hope. That feels like potent clarity to me, thank you for that! And I'm still so excited about the synchronicities of your reading! Can't wait to talk all about that! ❤️

Thanks Jenna! I needed some hope, healing and inspiration after the loss of my friend. The Star gave me some new perspectives and a deeper understanding of hope as prayer. YES! Looking forward to our visit!

Sam I am so glad these words helped soothe your being. When I decided to write a this post on a major tarot card, I wanted one that would convey and be a calming and comforting balm. It had to be the Star. Sounds like we both needed this. After big upheavals in one's life, especially around death, restorative energy is very welcomed. Blessings to you Sam, sending much love to you. From my heart to yours! ❤️
