The Star

Upright:
Lighting the lantern, guiding the way
New opportunities, renewed hope

Reversed:
Night descends, the road ahead grows dim
Rest is needed, optimism is hard to find

Nocturnal Wonders

Many plants come alive in the night, often glowing softly, adorning the garden in luminous hues. Their bioluminescence transforms the darkness into a tapestry of living starlight.

Strange Plant – Dawn-Night Palm

This extraordinary palm bears small, orb-like fruits on its leaves, resembling tiny lanterns. These fruits absorb sunlight by day and release a gentle radiance by night. They are also the favored food of the mystical Starbird.

Strange Creature – Starbird

A small, intelligent bird that sleeps through the day, awakening only when night and starlight arrive. Drawn to glowing fruits, it glides across the sky with feathers shimmering like constellations, its flight like a shooting star streaking overhead. Symbolizing serenity, peace, faith, and hope, the Starbird is regarded as a benevolent spirit—reminding us to remain calm in hardship and trust in hope, for the light will always return.

Strange Plant – Starleaf Philodendron

Unlike others of its family, this philodendron grows low to the ground, its massive leaves limiting its climbing ability. The veins of each leaf trace out irregular star-shaped patterns that glow faintly in the night. Along its branches hang star-shaped fruits that also emit light. These fruits are another cherished food of the Starbird, which in turn protects and nurtures the plant—an intimate cycle of mutual care and symbiosis.
