The Star of Hope
The Star is one of my favorite Tarot cards. It speaks to us of hope in the face of adversity. There may be times when you are struggling through a tough situation or the darkness of your own mind. It is always a blessing to see that slight glimmer of hope shining through the dark tunnel of despair.
The Star Tarot Card
The Fool has made it unscathed through his experience in the Tower. He came face to face with himself and realized that his life still had meaning and purpose. He sees the Star shining in the distance and follows it's dim light. Here he will find peace and reconciliation with who and what he is.

The Symbolism of The Fool
Symbolism is the most important factor when it comes to reading Tarot. Symbols can mean different things to different readers. Here is my interpretation of the symbolism inherent in The Fool Tarot card using the Rider-Waite deck.
The Temperance Tarot Card
The Fool has been transformed in his journey through Death. Now he needs to learn the wisdom and sense of purpose that defines Temperance.
