"How about The Star..."
Just looked at this now Pam O - thankyou so much for this little treasure trove.
Most excellent.
The Star - the template for permaculture.
I see - so what comes to mind for me here is naivete. The young pure and beautiful lady from fairy-tales who knows nothing of the 'evil' of the world and blunders into everything. Talking shamelessly to strangers, thanking faeries without knowing she's just made herself indepted to them etc.? Or just that girl whom things just happen to - like Andromeda (who incidentally becomes a star constellation), who has nothing to do with the whole drama except sitting there looking pretty - it's her Dad who proclaims her the fairest, the god Poseidon who takes offence to this and decides to send the monster to destroy her city - the only 'cure' for this being her sacrifice to the monster. Then along comes Perseus - who's had the whole drama of cutting off the gorgons head - poor bitter Medusa (again - sitting there looking pretty and things just happened to her) - to save Adromeda with. Hmm.
...Or even the 'righteous evangelist' type knocking on your door.
Have you see that photograph? - the domestic cat is looking out of the window, the wild deer is looking in. And the caption reads something like: "Have you accepted Pan as your Lord and Master?" ..."Sorry who? - I bow only to Bastet, queen of motherhood and play".
I love the site albideuter.de, and copyright approval is granted, so we can share it here at Aeclectic!
Here are the star cards all compared that he has on the site. Enjoy!

Part of that is the healing element. Pour water on the patched land to heal it. But most of it has to do with the future. Aquarius, the water bearer, thinks of future generations. An Aquarian is the sort to create a park so that the future generations of children will have a place to play...I'd say that the Star is the card of recycling and environmentalism. The 7th generation principle: in every decision, be it personal, governmental or corporate, we must consider how it will affect our descendents seven generations into the future. "Plan ahead. Be prepared." Don't forget to water the lawn and keep bottled water on hand
Most excellent.

...I used to hate the card, believe it or not, because it always made me feel that it was telling about false hopes and misplaced optimism, reaching for something so far away that it could never actually be held, only wished for...
... I could see the negative or extreme aspect of it as being SO transparent as someone who is unable to keep a secret, someone who ALWAYS feels that "the truth, the WHOLE truth, and nothing but the truth" should be presented right up front, no matter what.
