Number 17, The Star card.
With The Star card comes inspiration, and hope.
Here we see a Pixie sitting by a lake, pouring rejuvenating water over their hand and on to the Earth. The rune on the jug is Inguz, which means Fertility, Creation, Protection and Growth. The nourishing water makes the ground more fertile and grows beautiful flowers.
The Pixie has one leg dipped into the water, this represents spiritual abilities. The other leg crossed over represents practical abilities. The seven smaller stars that surround the largest star symbolize the seven chakras.
When we are blessed with The Star card, it brings with it great strength to carry on in life. You are gifted by the universe with great positivity and abundance.
To receive The Star card means that you have battled through many tasking challenges in life, and you're still going. At the time, maybe you didn't realize just how strong you are. As we look back on our past, we realize the strength it took to get through it all, and we appreciate the life lessons that came with them.
