The Meaning of the Star Card in the Tarot

The meaning of the Tarot card "The Star"

The Star card in the Tarot symbolizes the future, clarity of vision and spiritual perception. The basic symbols of this card are seven or eight stars, a pool of water, a kneeling woman (one foot in the water and the other on the earth) and two urns.

The meaning of the card The Star upright

When the Star card is upright in a Tarot reading, it symbolizes hope, faith, inspiration, optimism, discernment, spiritual love, pleasure and balance. You have worked through the difficulties and are ready to embrace what comes next. Stay calm, stay positive. The card predicts unexpected help, but it's up to you to find your way forward. It's all there for you, big and bright and waiting. The possibilities are endless and you're ready to take them all. Yes! They belong to you. Always remember that.

The meaning of the card The upside-down Star

When the Star card is reversed in a Tarot reading, it symbolizes unfulfilled hopes, disappointment, crushed dreams, bad luck and imbalance. However, not everything is as it feels at first. You may feel suffocated by the weight of despair, but that doesn't mean there's no hope. Your self-esteem may be at a lower level, but things can change. It's in you. You can do it.

The meaning of the card The Star in love

The Star card in a Tarot love reading is about connection and moving on. If you're single, you're finally ready to let go of past relationships and open up to new love. If you're in a relationship, the Star card means it's time to go deeper. You're all in, huh? If you open yourself up to it, your partnership will go to the next level.
