Picture of purple starfish from www.nefsc.noaa.gov
“There are 2,000 living species of starfish that occur in all the world's oceans, including the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian as well as in the Arctic and the Southern Ocean (i.e., Antarctic) regions. Starfish occur across a broad depth range from the intertidal to abyssal depths (>6000 m).” from Wikipedia
When Starfish began to pop up in my meditations and thoughts, I realized that I knew nothing about this fascinating creature, other than it looked “nice”. It is hard for me to think of it as a fish or an animal because, when we see it, it seems so still. However, Starfish, like the other animals, shows up when it has a message.
Like the “Star” card in the Tarot decks, Starfish is about vision, hope, success, healing, and creativity. Each time we look at the stars in the sky, we wish and hope for the best possible outcome for whatever new endeavour that we have started. Starfish, is the stars in the sky, on the Earth. (As above, so below!) She tells us that we are on the right path; that we have the correct vision because it corresponds with the vision in the Universe; that we will have joy in the new relationships (business and others) that we are forming; and, finally, that Light illuminates our path.
Starfish is symbolic of all that is great and good with Nature. She symbolizes the perfection of Oneness by showing us the geometric design that are five perfect little triangles, stuck together. She may look like a slice from a Merkaba, or, she may be representative of the Tree of Life. Whatever, she is all about optimism.
When Starfish shows up, she steps before us, imitating the “Hollywood Walk of Fame” that salutes the stars of the movies. Starfish, is gracefully saluting us, and offering her support. How much better can life be?
Wishing you many blessings,
