Aquarius and The Star

The tarot card for Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18) is The Star. Its ruling planet, Uranus (modern) / Saturn (traditional), corresponds to The Fool, and its element, Air, to the suit of Swords.

Why Aquarius is The Star

Aquarius is the water bearer, and The Star shows a figure pouring water onto land and pool under a sky of stars. Both are about hope for the collective, ideals and renewal. The Star's openness mirrors Aquarius's vision of a better future for everyone.

After the storm comes quiet, luminous hope. Trust the universe, replenish your spirit, and let your authentic light shine.
