Water Scrying with the Stars to Guide the Way

I feel a draw to the night sky, the silver pin-pricks
dotting a blackened canopy; vast, and yet intimate, as
the world is at peace in the moon's silent gaze. The
stars, their power immeasureable, they sway the fate of
our fortunes as keenly as they sway the endless tides.

What tales they have to tell -
if only we stopped to listen.

You will want to gather rainwater for some time, and
when the moon is at it's highest point, collect a
dark-colored bowl and find a suitable clearing where you
feel comfortable and attuned with the energies around
you. Place the bowl before you, as well as any
accoutrements you desire, and fill it to the brim with
rainwater. Allow it to settle; when the time is right,
gaze into the water.

Pay particular attention to the reflection of the stars
upon the surface; let your eyes relax, drifting across
the water until your vision goes fuzzy. In time, the
stars will solidify again, and a pattern will be clear.

Of course, there are countless stars across the sky, and
many constellations and clusters, so it is impossible to
outline them all - however, below you will find a simple
list of the ones that I have encounted most frequently,
and what tales they have to tell.

Happy scrying.

persevere, you will find success.
*






* PISCES (FISH)
* The wise fish travels with the flow of water,
* water, finding ease, grace, and joy. The

* * * own reward. Be open-minded, and find your
* * * fortune.





* SCORPIUS (SCORPION)
A struggle approaches; battle your foe.

* yourself, and you will find success.
*





* *

action, and simply watch for a time.

A deception lay before you, beware of
* snakes in the grass. Use your quick-wit
* and cunning to find a swift passage
through sticky situations. Your charisma
* and your diplomacy can be harnessed to turn
the tables and find a fruitful outcome.
