Hope, Faith, Inspiration, Healing. Wishful Thinking. Light at the End of the Tunnel. Bright Times After a Period of Darkness or Challenges. Something to Look Forward to. Dreams Come True.
The Star card embodies the power of hope, whether it be the fulfillment or the granting of a wish. Within the Tarot deck, the Star card shines with unparalleled optimism and serves as a beacon of light amidst darkness. It signifies the potential for a positive outcome after enduring a challenging journey or the victory of light prevailing over darkness. The Star card epitomizes our innate capacity to aspire for greater things and ignites that inner spark which fuels our belief in the realm of possibility. We not only see the eight sided ‘star of hope’ but an angel pouring water from a vessel. These are the same vessels from the Temperance card. The jugs, one flowing back and one flowing forward, represent the conscious and the subconscious mind and the harmony needed between the two. The flow of life and creativity persists, regardless of the obstacles we encounter. Our hearts continue to beat, filled with hope and the essence of life itself. The card portrays a feline collecting water from the river, symbolizing the availability of resources for future growth and vitality. It reminds us to remain hopeful for abundance. It suggests that we possess starlike qualities that lead to success and recognition.
Reversed or with challenging cards around the Star card, this could indicate that you have lost hope or no longer believe that things will improve or get better. This can represent a creative or even writer’s block or that we are not being appreciated or recognised. Yet even in this position, this is such a positive card that the message is not to give up hope.
