The Star card in the Rider/Waite/Smith deck is one of the most beautiful and inspiring of all the Major Arcana. It shows a kneeling woman with one foot in a pool of water and one on land. She pours water from two pitchers, one in each hand – one into the water and one onto the land. There is a large eight pointed star above her with seven smaller stars surrounding it. While this is a beautiful picture, the symbolism here is not apparent without further study. It is a card that inspires us to develop inner calm and peace. The card suggests that through this development we will find access to divine guidance. The Star is often referred to as the card of meditation. So, Today’s Journey Tarot simplified the symbolism to show a woman in a classic meditation pose and the card is titled, Meditation.
