The Star

A few years ago now, maybe like 3 - my friend Elyssa did a tarot card reading for me. I don't really know what I think about this - she was into it and we would do this for fun. She used to do these every time we hung out. I've only seen her once in the past 3 years. The last one I had, was a past, present and future reading. So 3 cards, one representing each. My future card was one of the best cards you can get. I was cleaning out my wallet today and I found the description of the card. I've been carrying it around ever since. It was the star card and it says this:

The Star

"This is the card that tells you that you are being guided in the right direction. The picture displays a naked woman kneeling down beside a river with two jugs in her hand. She is pouring water from the jugs into the stream. In the background is a large star, almost directly above her head and seven other stars around it. There are birds, flowers, trees, shrubbery and green grass around her. She appears tranquil and at peace in her natural surroundings. If this is yourself, you are intuitively heading towards the direction of where you should be on your own personal path in life. You are also about to have much abundance enter your life through many and varied ways. If you have been looking for a certain job, more than likely you will achieve it and this will reflect what is going on inside you, which is finding your true niche in life. You are also able to express yourself more truthfully without hindrances from your past or your upbringing. Your intuition is extremely heightened at this time and can bring on flashes of insight to guide you through the many decisions you are going to be facing. Trust in your future and show great faith against the odds and you will succeed. Something to do with the country, or near a river or ocean may figure strongly in an event which will occur within about one month."

Funny, but reading this now, I think it is strangely accurate and reflects what has happened since I got this card. I got sober - my life is filled with abundance because of this - moved for the job I always wanted (I work near the river - not sure about that connection), had breast cancer which changed my whole life - had to make hard decisions but felt guided in doing so, I have faith that I didn't have before - basically my whole life has changed since I got this card. I feel more free than I ever have, more myself and like I can honor my own truth and be who I am. I feel like I am at the beginning of a new journey. Here's to my leave!
