The Butterfly Spider stands in a field of sage flowers, weaving together a constellation of love in front of him, seemingly powered by the energy field of a gigantic star above him. Like the Goddess’s purple coneflower, the sage is renowned for its healing properties. It is commonly a symbol of good health and wisdom, and is considered a gift that even Gods cherish. The God of Stars is perfectly balanced in a flow state, feeling the energy of the universe behind them and using it to create their own constellation in front of them. They are fully engaged with the light, patterns and particles of the natural world. They know with true sincerity that everything and everyone is connected. Stars are the suit of spirit, connection and passion, and Gods are the givers of each power, so the God of Stars might be a sign that you are about to come into a whole new level of enlightenment, spiritual fulfillment or genuine connection. The God of Stars also represents emotional balance, resiliency, stability and level-headedness; they are an excellent networker, debater and deal-maker because they see all sides of everything; they know perspective creates reality and that shifting perspective is like finding yourself in a whole new world. The God of Stars can be a sign that now is the time to shift your perspective on something that is troubling you. If you do, you’ll find the stability and resiliency you’re craving.
If You’re Feeling Blocked
Like all the Gods of Creative Flow, the God of Stars can come to you as a friend or an obstacle, as a mentor or as a manipulator. The God of Stars can use their gifts as both leaders and disruptors; they easily amass followers and believers in their cause. Maybe you’re not feeling at home in the web of connections in your life, or you’re feeling slighted because of a disagreement, argument or irreconcilable difference that only seems concerning to you. The God of Stars could be someone with a mastery of deception attempting to control your emotions, leaving you feeling isolated or making decisions that you have you isolating yourself from others, or that someone is trying to lead you away from your heart and your values. The God of Stars can be a sign that you should create and enforce some boundaries with someone around you, or that you are withdrawing from your true self and the power of your own creative force in order to empower someone else or make someone else happy. Regain your voice.
