Achernar

Achernar

Achernar, the bright star at the End of the River Eridanus, marks the crisis and reward found at the end of a long course, of the nature of Jupiter: risk-taking that pays off, success after a journey, and a redemptive completion. It rewards those who see the river through to its mouth.
