Your Chosen Card – The Star Reversed Thoth Deck

When reversed, the Star card suggests that you are not feeling hopeful about a positive outcome. You may be suffering a crisis of faith or feeling beset by doubts that things will not work out in the end. Now is a time to assess your situation realistically and banish any false hopes or expectations based on illusion. Are you able to see the glass only as being half empty? Are you unable to recognize the guiding trail beneath your feet? Keep in mind the moral of Aesop’s fable: the gods help those who help themselves.

Keywords Reversed: Loss of hope, pessimism, expectations not met, neglected opportunities, lack of trust in the future, refusal to accept helpful guidance.

Key XVII: The Star
Myths/Archetypes: The Star of Bethlehem. The Fairy Godmother. The Egyptian sky goddess Nuit (aka Nut, Neuth, Newet). Aquarius, the Water Bearer.
Dates of Aquarius: 20 January–17 February (tropical); 13 February–13 March (sidereal)
Astrology: Aquarius, the Water Bearer (an Air sign ruled by Saturn and Uranus)

Element: Air

When The Star is reversed you can pretty much take it that life is going well but that’s when life takes us by surprise.  If The Star is unclear it may help to choose a card from the Major Arcana to provide more insight into what it is The Star is trying to tell you.  If you had a particular issue in  mind, or want to seek clarification on something else, you can also choose again to get more guidance.

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: Without a doubt, the Waite-Smith deck, published originally by the Rider Company in 1909, has been the most popular modern deck in the English-speaking world. After leaving the Order of the Golden Dawn, A. E. Waite set out to publish a deck of his own. Working with artist Pamela Colman Smith (known as ‘Pixie’), Waite produced a unique deck that, unlike the Marseille pattern decks, illustrated each of the forty pip cards with a scene evocative of the card’s divinatory meaning. It was the first deck since the Sola-Busca of 1491 to be illustrated in this fashion. The presence of scenes and characters on each card rendered this deck one of the easiest to learn and made tarot reading accessible to the masses. Many modern decks, including the Llewellyn Classic Tarot used to illustrate this text, are clones of the Waite-Smith images.

Development for Beginners: For starters, take the Prophet Isaiah from the Old Testament. Prophecies are predictions of the future; thus, from a psychic standpoint, it could be argued that through his prophecies, Isaiah was tapping into his innate psychic abilities.
