17 - Star"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here"The six pointed golden star, traditionally the "seal of Solomon", symbol for wisdom, prosperity and harmony of the elements, hovers over its more mundane smaller brother, the Pentagram, which is used in various colors by many earthly organizations. The Pentagram is a symbol for upward orientation and success in it's broadest sense. New endeavors and adventures in consciousness or flesh are commonly represented by star-shapes if they are goal-oriented (as opposed to targetless Zen-type happenings that usually are represented by circular shapes). The hope to reach one's final outcome is the prime engine of those endeavors Midheaven/Mercury: Communication, shaping one's world-view. Theme for contemplation: How precise are my goals outlined? Affirmation: "I know what I want" Hint: Be clear about what you really want. Choose a target, a course and stick to it! Too much all at the same time leads to nothing. And stay relaxed! |
