The Two Of Stars:
Two Picasso moths fly around a bouquet of Jasmine flowers, two stars shining bright in the night sky, their lights intermingling. The Two of Stars is a card about falling in love or the beginning of a powerful new partnership that has the potential to both transform and ensnare. Stars are the power of chaos and wanting, but the two represents balance and harmony: perhaps a real dream come true, a truly deep spiritual connection that is just starting to spark in this lifetime. Maybe you’ve just met someone who it feels like you’ve known forever, or maybe an old friendship or long relationship has suddenly felt a bit revived. The sweet-smelling Jasmine flowers symbolize a purity of the soul and a transference to a higher realm or state of spirit, so embrace this new connection with the enthusiasm of your inner child. There’s no promise that this connection will stay around forever, but that just makes every moment more important.
IF YOU’RE FEELING BLOCKED
This is an exciting, whirlwind time, but it's not without its risks. The Picasso moths, the Japanese symbols for "love" and "soul" imprinted on their wings, represent a reordering — the kind of reordering that takes place at the beginning of a new relationship, when you're letting go of parts of your life to make room for your partner. Make sure you're letting go of the right stuff and holding on to everything that makes you, you — including your creative pursuits. You don't have to share them if you want to keep them to yourself, but don't let the excitement of this new energy entirely overtake your own energy. Focus on keeping a routine or structure that incorporates all the self-care and time for yourself that you need.
CREATIVITY EXERCISES:
Create a Valentine’s Day-type card, but with the intention of gifting it to yourself.
Create something with the theme of reordering: reorder your paints, your books, your yarn, or reorder a known structure: the structure of a person’s face, parts of different puzzles forced together incorrectly. (Think Picasso.)
Get inspired by the ideographic symbols of the Japanese language and learn to write the symbol of one of these words for which there is no direct English translation.
Get inspired by the chaos and whirlwind happening around you: Create a colorful tornado by color-coding your thoughts and events and dreams according to color theory, as they come across your mind while you’re creating.
