Today's TarotCraft Community card is The Star. Whenever the Star appears, there is a blessing. So anything you do today will have a special blessing from the Star. Make it count!
In the sequence of the Tarot, The Star is the card that comes after The Tower. The Tower represents a period of destruction and chaos (that you, COVID?) out of which comes clarity. When The Star appears, it is the light at the end of the tunnel. This lovely card is compassion embodied and promises healing and renewal. We might even bless our Tower experience one day for the clarity it gave us, like clouds parting to show the clear blue sky. This is a “north star” moment. An opportunity to redirect yourself to whatever brings you closer to your true self. Image description: A nude figure kneels with one foot on green grass and the other in a pond of water. They hold a red jug in each hand, pouring water on the grass as well as into the pond. A red bird rests in the branches of a tree behind them. Above the figure is a large yellow eight pointed star surrounded by seven white eight pointed stars. Each Tarot card offers us a Gift, an Invitation and a Challenge. (Hint: the Gift is the grace that is already given us to overcome the Challenge.) Before you read on, decide if you want to know what Gift, Invitation or Challenge The Star has for you. All will be revealed below… GIFT The Gift of the Star is Truth. It may be, for example, the truth of a situation or a truth about yourself that you are reluctant to face. The Star's blessing is found in embracing and accepting this truth with compassion. INVITATION The Invitation of the Star is an invitation to be open to opportunity. It offers a way out of dark and confusing places. You can trust the Light that guides you. CHALLENGE The Challenge of The Star is to find the courage in yourself to follow the Light being offered to you now. You have clarity of purpose, so now you need to take trusting steps towards that purpose. #TarotCraft #TheStarTarotCard #DailyTarotReading #AllisonJeanTarotCraft

About the image A person wearing a white gown appears to close the mouth of a lion standing next to them. The person has a garland of flowers around their head and another one around their waist. A figure 8 symbol is over their head. The lion appears passive and is gazing up at the person gently holding them. The position of the hands and the loin’s protruding tongue reflect the figure 8 symbol. They stand on green grass; in the distance are trees and a mountain. Gift The Gift of Strength is your life force, massive and powerful energy that can be refined and harnessed now. Invitation The Invitation of Strength is to persist. Keep going, even though the way may seem difficult. You will win through if you persevere. Challenge The Challenge of Strength is to release the need to control and dominate. Strive for “power with” rather than “power over”.

She represents hidden knowledge. Not just occult secrets, but things within ourselves that are presently hidden from us. She reminds us that the better we understand ourselves the more we can help ourselves and others. This is especially true of the shadow self. If we don’t accept the offer of her guidance into our inner lives, if we press on without making any attempt to access her insight, we will do more harm than good.

Today success will come by taking the middle path, by applying moderation and restraint. Doing so may well unite seemingly irreconcilable opposites.

An androgynous Angel with curly golden hair and large red wings wears a white robe with a red upright triangle on their chest. They stand by a pond, with one foot on the land and one foot in the water. They have a golden chalice in each hand, pouring a stream of clear water between the one in their upraised hand and the one in their lowered hand. In the disntance is a golden crown in the sky over mountains. A road leads from the pond to the mountains. Tall green plants are next to the angel, blooming with golden flowers. GIFT The Gift of Temperance is the ability to reconcile and accept opposites, such as understanding that a situation can have benefits and drawbacks, or that a person can express both masculine and feminine traits. INVITATION The Invitation of Temperance is to reject dogma and release the need to control things and people at this time. Be open minded to new ideas and try a little ‘go with the flow’. CHALLENGE The Challenge of Temperance is to discover the right mix of energies at any given moment. For example, ensuring that we have sufficient “alone time” for introspection and meditation, or taking steps to get ourselves out of a slump. (Hint: the Gift is the grace that is already given to you, or available to you, to overcome the Challenge. So if you chose the Gift, also see the Challenge.)
