Happy Mercury Retrograde everyone...make of it what you will.
The Star:
Guiding Light
The Star, and stars in general, have been a source of guidance
for quite some time.

| Steampunk tarot by Barbara Moore |
In tarot, the Star is associated with Aquarius, that dreamy, rule
breaker, who moves along its course by rules only it understands and baffle
those looking in. Logic and reason are very much there, but it seems to follow
a path so twisting that it rarely touches on the mundane.
This card tends to be one of the more ‘gentle’ cards out of a
deck. It calms and for a moment the person knows that there is guidance and
that a way will be shown. This card tends to soften the blow of some of the
other cards that leap in your face with no buffer.
The Star invites reflection and introspection, but to do so
in a way that heals that hurts. Accept the flaws of yourself and others and
move along.
This is a card for dreamers and artists. It invites you to
look at the starry Heavens and be inspired at the wide wonder laid out before
you.
If you are seeking guidance, it is there with a little
patient looking. The Star is Nuit personified, She whose starry belly vaults
over the Earth in love and rapturous delight.
Aquarius is an Air sign for all that He bears the cup for
Zeus. Winds move the waters of the ocean, and so too our thoughts and emotions
move one into the other. Sometimes overriding and subsuming as a hurricane or
tsunami.
From the Star flows clarity upon the ocean of Chaos.
First, relax and rest. Take a deep drink of the sustenance of
creation, of life, or calm and serenity.
Rest your weary soul. Then, look
towards the horizon and find the guiding star. Where do you desire to go? Plot
your course with care and follow your path. You are a Star!
Practical Study
We have officially entered the first Mercury retrograde for
2015 and that can turn communication on its head a bit.

Use this time for meditation with The Star to find a point of
stability inside of yourself.
Refer to the sections of Liber
al vel Legis on Nuit and to remember that you are a Star in your own
right. Take the time to meditate on your
True Will and higher callings. In this
way you can make of yourself your own guiding light and maybe help others find
theirs as well.
