The Star (17th Major Arcana)

The Star is the 17th Major Arcana in the Rider–Waite Tarot, traditionally symbolizing hope, renewal, and cosmic inspiration. I find it a powerful metaphor for Wikipedia’s collaborative efforts: each editor’s unique contributions help illuminate the ever-expanding tapestry of knowledge, much like stars brightening the night sky.

This card also reminds me that meaningful progress often comes from small, steady steps. Our combined efforts light the path toward better understanding and a more complete record of human experience.

Astraea, Goddess of Truth

In Greek mythology, Astraea personifies justice and moral clarity, eventually retreating to the heavens when human wrongdoing became too great. She symbolizes the aspirational ideal of remaining steadfast to truth and virtue even when it’s difficult—a meaningful parallel for Wikipedia’s ethic of neutrality and reliability.

Her name and imagery connect to the sky, reinforcing that the pursuit of knowledge can be expansive and enlightening, yet always requires careful stewardship and a commitment to honesty.

Astrica: Name & Roots

Astrica is a Latin-inspired name derived from astra (“stars”) and the “-ica” suffix, suggesting celestial wonder and poetic grace. It echoes the essence of mythic figures such as Asteria and Astraea, symbolizing the interwoven themes of cosmic guidance and universal truth.

Embodying the idea of “one who belongs to the stars,” Astrica conveys boundless curiosity and a sense of luminous possibility. It’s a gentle reminder to keep reaching upward—like stargazers unearthing every hidden corner of knowledge.
