Weekly Card, Feb 7 2010- XVII The Star- reversed
Originally uploaded by j.goreham
Every Sunday night, I try to pull a tarot card to get some inspiration on what I should focus on this week, to help contextualize my daily draws as well. Today I drew The Star, reversed, from my Tell-Me Tarot deck. The card says "The Star = Optimism (+). All your dreams will come true. Think positively. You are radiant and could become famous." Well all right then! :) In this card, I am drawn to the figure's red and blue shawl (and the colourways depicted), and the hue of the blue in the sky. I think in general, this card means my week isn't going to be too bad- we've got a busy one, we have a radiation inspection, a board of trustees meeting, and a student doing his placement with us who will be spending some time in doing background work. It'll be busy but I don't think anything negative will result from any of it.
OK, well, that's what I thought immediately when I saw the card. Here's what "The Only Tarot Book You'll Ever Need" (Skye Alexander, Adams Media, 2008) has to say: "When the star is reversed, you are seeking your own path in a private way, without regard for the outside world." Alexander goes on to talk about feelings of aloneness, feeling withdrawn, and resentment. The Only Tarot Book suggests that I need some alone time to re-energize. Well, I can see how this applies to me immediately, but not necessarily how it applies to me for the week ahead- today, I did an extra day at work and feel a little low-key and drained as a result.
