The Star is numbered at XVII and represents hope, healing, inspiration, and renewal. It signifies a guidance and a reminder of the bigger picture. The Star brings a message of hope, offering reassurance. Water is a natural resource and is a healing and birth element. The Star also represents creativity and encourages embracing these opportunities. Her posture reflects that as she is holding her pitcher, her expression on her face, although more neutral, is looking ahead with confidence. In the figure, she is wearing a Hmong outfit with representation of stars, snow, and water. There are eight shooting stars in the background with an aurora of multiple colors including purple and orangey-yellow representing the colors of St. Catherine. On her pitcher is the symbol of St. Catherine rose from the window. It is incredibly important that there are Hmong representations in the Tarot Deck of St. Catherine’s University, since there is such a powerful Hmong woman population. The outfit is a blend of the elements of Aquarius, a student of St. Catherine and Hmong cultural elements.
