guys, has neither of you noticed that this question is in the "horoscopes" section? :) in a horoscope a Star of David means you have two grand trines (a trine is a positive aspect, a grand trine is very positive but at the same time it makes everything come to you too easily in life and you won't learn how to become a strong person).
a Star of David is quite rare in a horoscope, if you have it, you will be lucky, your inner self won't change, you'll have good opportunities and abilities in life but you must be cautious not to overspend your energy.
sounds good to me.
In modern times, the Star of David has become a premier Jewish symbol. This six-pointed star (hexagram), made of two interlocking triangles, can be found on mezuzahs, menorahs, tallis bags, and kipot. Ambulances in Israel bear the sign of the "Red Star of David," and the flag of Israel has a blue Star of David planted squarely in the center.
first of all, the medium sounds like a total quack. they are in it to make money, period. 'retired' 'mediums' have stated how foolish it all is and how it is a big scam.....
the star of david is shield and a sign of the jewish people. it signifies the points at which god protects and provides for the jewish people. the points are the rule of god in all directions.
The Magen David (shield of David, or as it is more commonly known, the Star of David) is the symbol most commonly associated with Judaism today, but it is actually a relatively new Jewish symbol. It is supposed to represent the shape of King David's shield (or perhaps the emblem on it), but there is really no support for that claim in any early rabbinic literature. In fact, the symbol is so rare in early Jewish literature and artwork that art dealers suspect forgery if they find the symbol in early works.
Scholars such as Franz Rosenzweig have attributed deep theological significance to the symbol. For example, some note that the top triangle strives upward, toward G-d, while the lower triangle strives downward, toward the real world. Some note that the intertwining makes the triangles inseparable, like the Jewish people. Some say that the three sides represent the three types of Jews: Kohanim, Levites and Israel. While these theories are theologically interesting, they have little basis in historical fact.
The symbol of intertwined equilateral triangles is a common one in the Middle East and North Africa, and is thought to bring good luck. It appears occasionally in early Jewish artwork, but never as an exclusively Jewish symbol. The nearest thing to an "official" Jewish symbol at the time was the menorah.
In the middle ages, Jews often were required to wear badges to identify themselves as Jews, much as they were in Nazi Germany, but these Jewish badges were not always the familiar Magen David. For example, a fifteenth century painting by Nuno Goncalves features a rabbi wearing a six-pointed badge that looks more or less like an asterisk.
In the 17th century, it became a popular practice to put Magen Davids on the outside of synagogues, to identify them as Jewish houses of worship in much the same way that a cross identified a Christian house of worship; however, I have never seen any explanation of why this symbol was chosen, rather than some other symbol.
The Magen David gained popularity as a symbol of Judaism when it was adopted as the emblem of the Zionist movement in 1897, but the symbol continued to be controversial for many years afterward. When the modern state of Israel was founded, there was much debate over whether this symbol should be used on the flag.
Today, the Magen David is a universally recognized symbol of Jewry. It appears on the flag of the state of Israel, and the Israeli equivalent of the Red Cross is known as the Magen David Adom.
The Jewish symbol. During the Holocaust, Jews had to wear them to signify that they were Jewish and may or may not be taken to a Concentration Camp.
The star of David is the symbol of creation it is an Jewish Christian and Islamic symbol it doesn't just belong to Jews anybody can wear this symbol. It's also in the Ethiopian orthodox Christian culture. I hope my answer helped God bless.
