Maybe some new event shedding a new light, giving you a different and more hopeful perspective?
The Sun was the outcome (there were 10 cards in this reading), so that perspective makes sense. Perhaps the Star will lead to the Sun's new perspective. The sun is a star.
It strikes me that influences don't get more "external" than the Star: abstract, remote, hard to get your head around, but no less potent for all that. Since the Star corresponds to the sign of Aquarius (basically "right now"), it could be an influence coming from a broader social perspective, maybe some kind of "group-think" that you're having trouble penetrating intellectually or philosophically. Aquarian impulses are "humanitarian," but mainly for those who hold a common viewpoint; others need not apply. So the Star could have a kind of exclusivity about it, maybe an exclusionary or "outsider" vibe. Perhaps you can "see the light" but can't quite "break through" that crystalline vision to the heart of the matter. As an external influence, it could mean that someone or something is slipping away from you, winking in and out of focus like a star in the evening sky; it may have to get darker (a "waiting game") before that focus snaps into place, since, as has been said, "Wishing won't make it so."
An idea or vision is slowly fading in and out of my perspective, so this is true.
I'll have to give the "broader social perspective" some thought. There is something that I want that does align with the something very typical that everyone wishes that had (at least, most people), so that goes with a your idea of a "broader social perspective." This whole situation has made me have to reevaluate who I am and my goals in life. At this point in my life, I don't think that I am following the "normal" path and I seem to be walking to the "beat of my own drum." I've always gone down the "road less traveled", but in the last 5 years I have tried to fit into the "broader social perspective", which hasn't actually suited my lifestyle.
I've had a certain vision for most of my life that included carving out another social perspective, raising my daughter in this perspective and making a new life for others out of the example. It can be an exhausting uphill battle at times and there was a part of me that wanted a certain situation to come into fruition, but this certain situation would have resulted in me compromising my vision of a new world.
So the vision of "normality" is fading from my view. It seemed to be better suited as a fantasy anyway.
Even when I was trying to "fit in", I still held on to some of my core beliefs, which didn't necessarily coalesce with the situation that I was waiting for.
Again....the Sun was the outcome, so perhaps I can see that Star and as it gets closer and closer to me as the Sun, I will get the clarity that I want from the situation.
Thank you Mary and Barley for responding. I always like to read what you write Barley.
Mary, thanks for joining the group!
