ACE

The meaning of the word “ace” has its roots in the French language. It came from the old French word “as”, which meant unity. For a long time, the ace was used by gamblers as the weakest card and had the least value among all the cards in the deck. Over time, he became the most powerful card in the deck. In some card games (poker, blackjack), players can choose the value of the ace themselves. It can be either a unit or the highest card. One of the reasons for the promotion of the ace from the bottom to the top is the French Revolution. During the uprisings, the ace was a symbol of the dominance of the common population over senior officials and kings. By the way, the word “as” gave rise not only to the playing card. It also applies to people who are the original masters of their craft.

      As a life path 5, Kristen Stewart’s major life lessons are ruled by the planet of conscious information. Within her chart: Mercury is in the sign of self-worth.

      The placement of her planets are evenly scattered, with no major stelliums… there are six water sign placements, out of the eighteen total. Which signals to emotional clarity through her life’s purpose.

      Mercury naturally rules Gemini, and directs the Throat chakra. This chakra is the gateway between our needs and desires. It’s where we channel the unconscious self and express our conscious reality. A pronounced Throat introduces a strong voice and perspective, which allows one to form concrete ideologies. The abilities of this chakra allows you to foster clairaudience, or clear hearing.

      People with predominant feminine placements (Earth+Water) tend to struggle with intangible reality. Our emotional awareness grows as we awaken our sensitivities, through first-hand experience. When we avoid our emotions, we begin to suppress our inner intelligence, which means struggling to ground our personal narrative. A shallow narrative would be one that does not value all of our experiences, therefore the purpose of self-worth should be defined by the intention to honor oneself.

      Within her Vedic chart, Kristen’s Hasta nakshatra symbolizes the skills of the hand, and control of life force. The deity Survatr is worshiped as the Sun before sunrise, being described as beautiful-handed, beautiful-tongued and golden. Surya, on the other hand, is venerated as the Sun until sunset. The time of Survatr’s appearance would be when darkness is becoming light, although he is also known as “bringing rest” to all two and four-legged creatures. I believe this reveals how perspective of human life relies on our ability to differentiate time, as we organize periods of work and rest. This could denote articulation of energy, through physical movement or the embodiment of your personal emotions.
