In the "athbash" system of folding the Tarot Trump sequence in half, such that you are left with 11 sets of "dynamic pairs", the pair that is the Star and the Emperor establishes the link between inspiration and leadership. The path of the Star inspires hopes, ambitions, renewals, and goals - even lofty ones. The Emperor, who also could be called "the hero" or "the leader", is the person whose empowerment stands in for the successful achievement of those hopes, ambitions and goals. This is often a tangly subject to fully consider - but basically since the Emperor signifies individual empowerment and "elevation" over the masses, the star signifies the hope, aspiration, and possibility of attaining a seat in the heavens. They are truly linked - in fact these are the two cards that Aleister Crowley "letter-switched" in his Thoth deck, knowing, we can assume full well that they were energetically paired.
The question to ask this week is "What should inspire us?"
