The Star
The Star Tarot Card
is the 17th card in the Tarot deck and represents free flowing love,
tranquility, hope, generosity, good will, harmony, positive thinking
and faith. This card shows a nude woman kneeling with one foot in the water and one foot on land. She holds a jug in each hand and pours her water on the land and back into the water. A large star shines over her head. She renews both the subconscious (the water) and the material world (the land) by pouring the water on each.

Cygnus, the Swan
Although it lies about 1,500 light-years from Earth, Deneb shines brightly in our night sky because it's a white supergiant a star that's much larger, hotter, and brighter than the Sun. Deneb is the northeastern point of a star pattern called the Summer Triangle. If you use binoculars to scan the area between the two bright stars that define the swan's eastern wing, you'll see the remnant of a supernova a faint, incomplete ring of light called the Cygnus Loop. http://stardate.org/nightsky/constellations/cygnus.html
