The Ace of Stars: On Universal love and Connection

The Ace Of Stars

A katydid stands on a rose bud just about to bloom, in front of a constellation of stars that form a diving dove with its brightest points, diving directly onto an overflowing five-pointed star with different streams of light flowing out of its corners and radiating from its insides in the shape of a rainbow-colored cloud.

The Ace of Stars is a declaration that the Spirit is pouring through you, and you can feel the love and connection of the Universe coursing through your veins. Whatever you do now, don’t keep it all to yourself. Let that love pour back out as a ray of light. Remember that the things the Spirit makes — love, energy, passion — grow when shared. Let your heart overflow for the things that you appreciate the most. Creativity is a force of love, and art is a love letter.

IF YOU’RE FEELING BLOCKED

Have you blocked yourself from your own Spirit? There’s something you’re trying to hold in, something you’re trying to block from coming out, something you’re upset about or ashamed of or have been told you shouldn’t like about yourself. Now’s the time to release the flood. Let out all those emotions you’re holding in and try to think of a way to show your love despite your pain. Remember every time you indulge a creative thought, it’s both an act of self-love and a gift to your Creator.

Aces are always about new beginnings, starting a large project or embarking on a new journey. It’s one of the most exciting times in the creative process: just a beautiful, blurry, whispery idea of what something might be come. Katydids are often believed to be symbols of spiritual messaging or spirit guides, and roses are a symbol of love. The five-pointed star represents your soul, overflowing with an abundance of light, and the diving dove represents a new level of enlightenment and the growth possible when you begin to embark down a new creative path.
