The Star
Healing through accepting that everything's broken. Nakedness without shame, vulnerability without fear. Water flows onto earth and into water—a useless, beautiful gesture of faith in the future.
Loss of hope when you need it most. Or false hope—when you wait for a miracle instead of starting to act. Stars shine, but you've turned away.
After catastrophe—silence and cold light. The Star doesn't promise salvation, it just shines. Hope as an act of stubbornness, not faith.
How to Read This Card
Tarot cards are mirrors of your inner world. The meanings above are traditional interpretations, but remember:
- •Context matters — the same card can mean different things in different situations
- •Trust your intuition — if a card speaks to you differently, listen
- •Reversed doesn't mean bad — it often shows internal processes or blocked energy
- •Cards show possibilities, not fate — you always have the power to choose
Ask yourself the right question.
