The Major Arcana Tarot card associated with Aquarius is XVII The Star.
By Michelle Crandell
For those born under the astrological sign Aquarius, The Star is the Major Arcana card symbolizing natural gifts Aquarians can use to find meaning and purpose in life. People born under The Star possess a hopeful attitude: seeing life through the lens of a positive future, focusing on benevolent forces in the universe.
Aquarians are open-minded. They seek clarity, scientific truth, eternal wisdom, and joy. Highly imaginative, Star-born people “have their heads in the clouds,” seemingly unaffected by earthly life. Some people interpret this detachment as lack of emotion; others as fanciful optimism.
The Star represents self-sufficiency and self-trust. Naturally radiant and confident, Aquarians follow their own star, often becoming Guiding Stars for others. They welcome “stardom” when it involves recognition for talent, innovation, or the fruits of their creativity. When they shine, people and opportunities are drawn to them. Star-borns prefer interpersonal relationships that are mentally stimulating and easygoing. They have trouble with conflict or intensity. Their highly accepting attitude can backfire if they assume others are as accepting as they are. When confronted, an Aquarius may disappear, fly off the handle, or strike like lightning rather than resolve interpersonal conflict. Their interest is more in becoming a person of the larger world than an intimate partner.
