The Star

Loss and abandonment come first in Waite's notes, then another reading of hope and bright prospects. The picture helps settle it: a figure kneels by a pool under eight stars, pouring water onto land and back into the pool. Something is being restored after a dry time.

Following a setback at work or the end of a relationship, take stock of what remains and do one modest thing each day that refills you. Share your plans with someone kind. Hope gives you a direction. The steps are yours.

Arrogance and haughtiness stand beside powerlessness here. The water stays in the jug, and hope has hardened into pride or shrunk into a feeling that nothing can be done.

Accept help if someone offers it. Apply for the job anyway, and send the note. Where you have been looking down on small efforts, try one. A low mood that persists is worth raising with a doctor or counselor.
