‘Starfish’

‘Two Young Girls With A Starfish’
by Paul Émile Chabas (1869 – 1937 French)

The starfish is a powerful symbol of renewal and regeneration. This card indicates intense healing possibility, whether of the heart, spirit or body, or any combination of all three. It is also a symbol of inspiration, intuition, guidance, good luck and good fortune. The starfish is also a symbol of empathy, of trusting, or feeling one’s way. The magic of a starfish is its ability to heal from injury, and share that energy through example and empathy. The starfish symbol encourages one to believe in one’s own ability to ‘heal thyself’, to trust in oneself that whatever trauma may exist, that it can be overcome. This is a beautiful energy to invite into one’s life, one of sustenance, guidance, and love.
