Markus,
Yesterday's card was The Stars. I felt I did a good job reading the symbolism involved, however, I have been unable to figure out how it was supposed to fit into my day. I felt that the card said "So, the woman at the bank is pouring her emotion back to it's proper place, no longer needed for she has put the situation behind her, the stars indicating their approval, and her need to move on. The water in the pitcher had been used to water the flowers i.e. the emotions were used to fuel the situation". I have read and reread what I saw, and cannot find a correlation. Perhaps on this one, I made a mistake. Ah, well, perhaps I will do better with todays readings.

Blessings to you!
Always,
Angel

Brightests Ang,
Ok... I don't think you are making an active mistake, but I do think you are looking at the reading from the wrong side. This largely has to do with your personality -- good tempered, up beat and Very positive! Unfortunately, the world is not always positive (I know you know this, writing this part largely for the ppl who will read it on the site :)

In most of the decks I have come across, the Stars had negative connotations. I am largely impressed with you interpretation of the Emotion fueling the situtation! That is something I never looked at! But look at the stars position again. While they are shining bright, they are also out in the night sky, deep in space and Very unreachable for the woman in the image! They are almost teasing her... from this scene, most (and probably the book will agree, since I'm going on the info you provided because I don't have your deck) interpret this as unfulfilled desires or goals. She may have reached too far emotionally and fell short of the mark.

Now, again... you will make mistakes, dont get discouraged. A mistake in the interpration of the essence of the card will prevent you from predicting anything of reality. It's kinda like a snowball effect, or using a compass to navigate. If you miss something early, you'll be way off by the time you get to the end.

What must now be learned: Looking for the negative things is equally as important as looking for the positive readings. Obviously we prefer the positive ;) but that's not always the case and being able to see the negative readings often provides an invaluable warning for upcoming events. The energies of the universe are all about balance, the Tarot interprets these energies and therefore will also reflect their balance.

Brightest Blessings,
Markus
