The Fool's Lesson from The Star
Standing at the base of the crumbled tower from the previous card, The Fool is amazed to see a big bright star illuminating the ruins. Taking a closer look, The Fool uses his third eye and finds a strange angel floating above The Star.
The Fool notices she is taking the light energy from The Star and is using it to nurture the earth below. The Fool’s heart immediately feels warmer and incredibly serene as he learns he too has the power to use the light of his higher consciousness to illuminate and nurture his lower consciousness. At this very moment, The Fool finally learns that he is but a small piece in the vastness of the universe.
