A few months ago I met an online colleague who was writing for Tarot.com and suggested I check it out. It is an interesting site, mostly for fun, but I was trying to reconnect with tarot and thought it might be a good tool to use in that endeavor. So I registered. Another online blog friend uses Tarot.com for the numerology section, so I went on the site the other day to find out about my personal number for the year 2007. One thing I discovered upon this visit was that all this time the site had been generating a personalized Card of the Day for me. How intriguing!

My card for today:

The Star

The Star from the Celestial Tarot

What has traditionally been known as the Star card is about reconnecting one's Soul with the Divine -- the transcending of personality, family, community and reputation. It has to do ultimately with the freedom to be one's Self. The Soul is responding to celestial influences -- forces that can provide the personality with a stronger sense of purpose. The Star card helps us to remember our exalted origins and our attraction to a Higher Union.

This card could also be called the "Celestial Mandate" -- that which refers us back to our reason for being, our mission in this lifetime. The Star reminds us that, in a sense, we are agents of Divine Will in our day-to-day lives. If we let go of the idea that we are supposed to be in control, we can more easily notice and appreciate the synchronicities that are nudging us along. In this way, we become more conscious of the invisible Helping Hand, and we better understand our place within -- and value to -- the larger Cosmos.

After all of the work that I've been doing lately that points to some real change in this new year, and with my psych final - the final remaining remnant from last year - now behind me, this sounds right on.
