Level 6 - abstract
Word: Tarot (The Star)

Origin:
Tarot: 1590s, from French tarot (16c.), from Old Italian tarocchi (plural), of unknown origin, perhaps from Arabic taraha "he rejected, put aside." The deck first was used in Italy 14c., as playing cards as well as for fortune-telling. The tarots, strictly speaking, are the 22 figured cards added to the 56-card suits pack.

Old English steorra "star," from Proto-Germanic *sternan- (source also of Old Saxon sterro, Old Frisian stera, Dutch ster, Old High German sterro, German Stern, Old Norse stjarna, Swedish stjerna, Danish stierne, Gothic stairno). This is from PIE root *ster- (2) "star."

Definition:
The Star card shows a woman kneeling at the edge of a small pond. She is holding two containers of water.
One container pours the water out to the dry land, as if to to nourish it and ensure its fertility. The lush green land around her seems to say that it is working.
One foot is inside the water which shows the spiritual abilities and inner strength of the woman.
The other foot on the ground shows her practical abilities and strengths. Behind her, there is a large central star surrounded by seven small stars which represent the chakras.
There is bird standing at a tree branch which represents the holy ibis of thought. The Star's astrological correspondent is Aquarius.

The Star brings hope, renewed power, and strength to carry on with life.
It shows how abundantly blessed you are by the universe as evidenced by the various things around you.
