End of the major arcana

[valarltd]

17 The Star
This is the wish card, and many people's favourite.

It's all about hope, generosity and wishes being granted, although it can have a kind of dreamy quality about it, lacking in grounding or real belief.

A bit of self-doubt and negativity can creep in here, but on the whole it's a lovely card to pull, especially if you're hoping for something special.

The classic Waite-Rider image is a woman pouring out a jar of water with a star coming to rest on her hand. I get for this a closeup image of Leia during the reward ceremony: aloof but ready to convey the generous accolades of a grateful Alliance. She's given Luke his dearest wishes: getting off Tatooine, getting to fly. The silver necklace could be done in stars.


18 The Moon
Another of the cards that can be seen quite negatively, the Moon warns of fears, anxieties, confusion and subterfuge, but can also represent the power of the imagination, unexpected possibilities and illumination of a more subtle kind.

The path may be tough, but it's probably the right one, and it'll work out ok.

This has to be R2D2.
He is very subtle. Subterfuge and a difficult path, he is constantly being called on to expand his programming.


19 The Sun
Not much wrong here!

Definitely one of the most positive cards in the pack, the Sun lights up the situation and brings happiness, enlightenment, vitality, health and fulfillment.

Just look at the picture - it says it better than words can!

Chewbacca? This is a toughie. There is no single person or image in the SW'verse that is entirely positive. Chewie comes the closest, because of his age and wisdom.


20 Judgement
The penultimate card in the Major Arcana, and the cycle is almost complete.

The Judgement card heralds a time of accomplishment and rewards for past efforts, and opportunities not to be ignored.

It's about taking stock, and consideration of a brand new phase in life.
The negative aspects to this card focus on fear of change, self doubt, delays and a refusal to change and learn from past mistakes.




21 The World
The World is the final card in the Major Arcana and brings the cycle to an end.

It's about fulfillment, completion, satisfaction, wholeness and success
The World signals the arrival of the end result, it's a time for completion and celebration.

On the flip side, it can suggest delays and the final hurdles to success which must be overcome through perseverance and a final push.
