22. Scarab
Upright
The Scarab card is a symbol renewal and rebirth. It denotes adaptability and the ability accept change through a shift in ones attitude. A new beginning or a new phase is indicated when the Scarab card turns up. This is an ideal card for getting out of a rut. The Scarab advises one to have a change around or to do something different. It heralds endings and beginnings; casting off the old for the new. Its message is to release the past and be ready to embrace change. 

Reversed
Scarab reversed shows that a situation has become quite stale and stagnant. It could indicate that there is resistance to change and the refusal to move on. Someone may be stuck in the past continuing to delude themselves to stay in a situation that no longer serves them. They might be clinging to resentment and rebelling against any changes. The flip side is that Scarab reversed could also denote an unwise change. 

Meditation
Meditation with the Scarab card may be helpful when needing to embrace change and transformation.

The five pointed star spread The five star spread is ideal when you want to find clarity with regards to a particular issue. This spread is from Murry Hope’s “The Way of the Cartouche” and I find that it is very helpful in doing an in depth reading regarding a particular issue. The order for laying out cards in a star spread is shown below.  Position 1 indicates the nature of the question, while position 2 indicates why the question is being asked. Position 3 indicates factors influencing the issue or factors to be considered. Position 4 reveals what needs to be done or how one needs to handle the situation. The final card in position 5 reveals the outcome of the issue. If you want more clarification regarding a card in a particular position, simply draw another card from top of the pack and place it with the card you are seeking to clarify. This might give you more clues as to what is being revealed by the card in question.   It is also important that the quest
