An anchor is a large and heavy piece of metal, in an “anchor” shape — see the picture if you’re not familiar with the shape. It’s a very specific cross like shape, with the open bottom of an ‘o” shape underneath it, and often something at the top in a circular shape for which to tie a heavy rope through. An anchor, if you aren’t familiar with it, is what stops a boat and prevents it from moving around or drifting freely on open water. When the Navigator and Captain of the ship get to their destination, if a dock is not available, they throw an anchor overboard into the water. It’s weight combined with it’s speed of water entry sinks the anchor into the mud below the water, and the ship is prevented from blowing off course. To some, the anchor can symbolize being trapped— that the boat can no longer move freely, and that it is quite literally stuck in one place, but really, the anchor is symbolic of a stable and sturdy path, that you will not blow off of unless something truly sensational happens (like a large storm, perhaps).
As a card reading, the anchor symbolizes a good base or home— that you are locked in to the correct job or career path, or that you are stable in your financial or love life. You have picked your path and chosen it wisely and you will not be deterred from this path for any reason, barring really serious or unexpected changes or events. You should really dedicate yourself to this plan, invest money in it if you haven’t already, perhaps buy an engagement ring for your girlfriend, do whatever you can to make sure that you stay on this course and that it becomes permanent. The anchor symbolizes security and setting down. Perhaps you are starting a family, maybe you’re buying a new home. Maybe you have finally moved across the country— whatever it is, this change is permanent, and you have set your anchor down and will be here for awhile, you might as well do whatever you can do to make it the best situation possible. The anchor can refer to health stability, and also the parts of the body that need to be and keep us the most stable, like our feet, pelvis, and core. It can also symbolize your dental hygiene, as the early Greek word for anchor was “teeth”. It can also refer to or represent the colors of dark blue and navy blue.
In popular culture, anchors are often used in motivational art and home decor. Anchors are synonymous with coast living and beach life, and often used to decorate homes in places like Cape Cod or Nantucket. What’s ironic (or perhaps not) is that these are often wealthy and affluent families with wealth going back for generations of family members and many years, so these people are well anchored in more ways than one. The anchor is also the symbol of sorority Delta Gamma who adopted it in 1877, as a symbol for “hope” - their sorority is built on the basis of “doing good” in the community and to one another (and also in your own life). Historically, anchors date back to the bronze age and were first used often by the Greeks, who are well known for being exceptional ship captains. In our communities and neighborhoods, the people who give us our daily news and report happenings to everyone are called “anchorman” . In competitions, the last person in a relay race is called the “anchor leg”, because of their ability to bring success and their tried and true performances, time in and time out. Because anchors are so popular in decoration and leisure, anchor is also the name of a company that produces tableware, and a brewery.
The stars card is generally indicative of technology and computers. It may describe cell phones, computers, or a change in advancing technology for you or someone else. It may be specific towards you or general to your business, office, home, or the whole civilization. It may indicate navigation, a new path or trail, or some kind of clear skies and smooth passage ahead. It can also indicate transparency, clarity, or the sky becoming clear and every star in the sky becoming visible. It directly refers to astrology and being able to see the sky. It may also refer to natural talent, superstars, talent competitions, and rising celebrities or stars. Magicians and geniuses are referenced by the stars card. This card, and the stars, are most often associated with the color silver. It may also be indicating the north, as in the north star, or the directional star on a compass or map. It may point to technology ahead, a smooth journey ahead, or a clear path with the navigation and plan completely in place. It may refer to reaching for the stars and your journey to fame, genius, and accolades. For some people, the stars card could be referring to the skin, treatment, medication, or healing. In some cases it may reference radiation, chemotherapy, or any technological advances in medicine. Relish the stars card, as it generally means that the skies are going to part for you soon to succeed. Everything will become clear to you all at once, and all of the things that you have been doing to advance your craft will not have been for nothing. All of the hard work is about to manifest itself for you, and you will soon find your path to greatness. There is nothing but a rise to the top ahead for you.
When the anchor and stars cards are combined, it likely indicates that you’ve reached your destination in life, or that you’re having success with your dreams, and have reached your goals.
The anchor is represented by the number 35, and the star is represented by the number 16. When we add these numbers together, 35 + 16 = 51. Because fifty-one is not a single digit number, we must then add the digits of 51 together, and we get 5 + 1 = 6
The Number 6 — The number six is usually associated with six years when it relates to the clouds. Six can also express the letter F, the month of June, 6 o’clock, or Saturday. 6 is often related to the mother as it inspires feelings of family, protection, love, balance, and responsibility. It is considered one of the more harmonious numbers. It can be the glue that keeps people or communities together. This seems to be a contradiction to the clouds, but it is important that she who has responsibility has clear and un-precluded judgement. Especially if your divined numbers include the number six, you must take seriously your responsibilities of protection, love, balance, and family. You must know your talents and know your weaknesses in order to be able to succeed.
As it refers to the anchor and the star cards, the number 6 is indicating that you are now in the clouds and this is amazing that you’ve reached your dreams and true potential, but you should not lose track of your family, love, balance, and responsibility. You need true harmony in your life so you cannot let your success go to your head.
Enjoy your newfound success, and allow yourself some relaxation time. You’ve earned it. Take a spa day, vacation, or day to just relax at home. Once you’ve celebrated your accomplishments, it’s time to reflect upon what you’ve done, and set your goals for your next step. Don’t let the success go to your head, and keep working!
“I will allow myself to take a break and celebrate my newfound success, but it will be short lived so I can keep my balance and get back to my responsibilities, family, and friends.” Repeat this affirmation 2-3 times today.
