The Star, Rider-Waite-Smith deck

Zodiac tarot · 20 January to 18 February

Aquarius tarot card

Aquarius (20 January to 18 February) belongs to The Star. Its element is Air and its ruling planet is Saturn.

Aquarius belongs to The Star, the card of hope, renewal and calm. It is an Air sign, and its ruler is Saturn, whose card is The World. The Star pours water for the land and the pool, which shows giving freely. The World adds a sense of belonging to something larger. Together they describe someone who cares about people as a whole and wants to make things a little better for everyone.

The three decans of Aquarius

The three decans of Aquarius are the Five of Swords, the Six of Swords and the Seven of Swords. Born early in the sign, you might read the Five of Swords: a fight that costs more than it gains, so choose your battles. Mid-sign may suit the Six of Swords, a slow move away from trouble with healing underway. Late in the sign, the Seven of Swords asks you to think carefully and be honest about the cost of a sly approach.

Strengths

You are original, friendly and open-minded. You see how things could be different, and you support people who are unlike you. You stay calm when others panic.

Challenges

The Star is gentle, but you may seem distant or stubborn when you feel crowded. You can be so committed to your ideas that you forget to ask people how they feel.

In love

In love you value friendship, honesty and room to be yourself. You are loyal in your own way. Let your partner in on the quiet moments, not just the ideas.

At work

You thrive in work that is inventive, collaborative or aimed at a cause, such as technology, science, community work or design. You like to improve systems. Explain your thinking to others, as the best ideas need allies.

Advice from the cards

Keep your hope, and share it with someone near you today. A small warm gesture can matter as much as a grand plan.
