Temperance & The Star
Temperance & The Star
Analysis:
Both cards have a similar-looking, vibratory body of water.
There are grassy hills in both landscapes.
In each card, there is a central figure holding two cups (or vases) which they are using to manage water.
Each figure has blonde hair and is featured with one foot in water and one on land.
Celestial images are visible in each card. With Temperance, the angel is solar in nature and we can see a sun in the background. In the Star, we have a large star surrounded by 7 smaller ones (remember - stars are just distant suns).
The Star is ruled by Aquarius, and the water being poured in Temperance looks like the symbol for Aquarius.
While not visual, The Hebrew letters associated with these two cards connect in interesting ways, adding another possible layer of interpretation. Temperance is Samekh, which means to prop, uphold or sustain. It keeps something firm and in place. The Star is Tzaddi, which can mean fishhook. By balancing ourselves and maintaining inner harmony, we can stand firm in our position, making us more likely to be drawn to the right “hook” rather than fished for by the wrong one.
What do YOU see???
Possible Interpretation:
These cards together encourage us to remain balanced, stand in our truth and manage our inner elements in such a way that we may remain harmonious. In this way, we invite the divine to connect with us and for us to connect with the divine! Both cards speak to healing, hope and finding our way along the spiritual path. Appearing together would be a positive omen of great encouragement that much help, both seen and unseen, is working in our favour. We can do ourselves a service by remaining open to this support. Some ways we can do this is by meditating, recording our dreams, prayer or other spiritual practices that feel right to us.
