The Star

Upright
The Star promises hope, healing and spiritual renewal after a difficult passage. It invites you to restore your faith, follow your inspiration and let a calm, higher guidance lead the way. A season of serenity and growing optimism is dawning.
Reversed
Reversed, the Star points to lost hope, discouragement and a sense of being cut off from your source of inspiration. Self-doubt or pessimism clouds the view; the task is to gently rebuild faith in yourself and the future.
Love
In love, the Star promises the healing of old wounds, renewed hope and a tender bond built on trust. Reversed, insecurity or disappointment may briefly close the heart.
Career
In career, the Star signifies inspiration, fresh hope and confidence that your talents will flourish and be recognized. Reversed, it warns of discouragement or losing the vision for your path.
Health
For health, the Star is a highly favourable sign of recovery, rest and deep spiritual healing. Reversed, exhaustion or lost confidence may slow the healing process.
Symbolism
A naked woman kneels by the water, pouring from two jugs onto the land and into a pool, while a great eight-pointed star surrounded by seven smaller ones shines above. Her nakedness signifies truth and vulnerability, the water the renewal of conscious and unconscious mind, and the bird in the tree the sacred ibis of thought.
Numerology
Seventeen reduces to eight (strength and balance) and follows the upheaval of the Tower (16), so the Star embodies healing, hope and the equilibrium regained after collapse.
