The stars have long served as a source of inspiration and hope for people. Their glittering light has a way of pulling us up and out of ourselves. We no longer feel the distress of Earth when we look above. A soprano’s clear, high voice comes to mind when I hear The Star. It has something extraterrestrial about it. All of life’s ugliness has been taken away, leaving only the purest essence.

In the areas of intelligence, reason, justice, truth, clarity, and fortitude, the Ace of Swords represents possibility. It shows up in readings when a seed of clarity has been planted in your life, even if you don’t realize it yet. It’s possible that the seed will sprout into almost any shape. It could be a compelling idea, a desire to know the truth, a call for justice, or a desire to be truthful.
