Indication:

Let your star rise, and stay in contact with the earth.
You are in contact with the cosmic inspiration of the highest nature.
Its power gives wings to your soul and lets the impossible manifest in marvelous ways.
Trust your environment and find ways to let others share in it.
Don’t limit your fruits to the mask of your personality and the ego of the small “I”.

Question to Ask:

Are you totally fulfilled in your present area of work?
How can you open yourself up and be more receptive to the cosmic energy flow?

Affirmation:

I have faith in myself and the universe.
I reach for the stars as my dreams come true.

Now we see our reason for our plight beyond The Tower’s collapse. Had it still stood, we would not have been able to see The Star. The beauty of The Star allows us to find renewed trust in the universe. We are given rest after we have plodded until our feet bled. Many internal resources may have likely been used up during the recent phase of destruction, and we can rebuild them in new and stronger ways.

01. The Star illuminates, offering hope and inspiration. She is a reminder that everything one needs can be found within. She brings a message of faith, heralding inner vision, spiritual power, and the enduring beauty of the natural world. Her clear light penetrates through darkness, rays spreading ever outward as the unnecessary and false are stripped away. She reveals the purity at the core of all things. She stands at the wellspring, nurturing growth and encouraging clarity. She is generous in her offerings. She softly, gently, opens the heart, igniting energy, fertility, creation. Her gifts are all the sweeter for the struggles endured in reaching her domain.

02. The Star brings hope, renewed power, and strength to carry on with life. You are entering a peaceful, loving phase in your life, filled with calm energy, mental stability and more in-depth understanding of both yourself and others around you . This is a time of significant personal growth and development as you are now ready to receive the many blessings of the Universe. It may not be directly evident at the moment, for this card follows the trauma of the Tower. Remember, you hold within you all that you need for your fulfillment – the only thing that you need is courage. To see this card is a message to have faith, for the universe will bless you and bring forth all that you need.

03. You may also want to find or rediscover a sense of meaning, inspiration, or purpose in your life. You are making some significant changes in your life, transforming yourself from the old you to the new you and, in doing so, you are bringing about a fresh perspective. You are choosing the highest version of yourself. This is a profound spiritual journey that will bring greater meaning and purpose into your life and will renew your inner energy. Strip back any limiting beliefs, facades, or deceptions, and live in your authentic nature. Be open to new ideas and growth, and listen to the still voice within.

04. With The Star, anything is possible and the magic is flowing around you. Your heart is full of hope, and your soul is being uplifted to the highest of highs as you realize that your dreams really can come true. Allow yourself to dream, to aspire, to elevate in any way possible so you can reach the stars. They are right here waiting for you.

06. When the Star card is reversed, it means that you have lost faith in something, whether inside yourself or with something you normally find dear. The Star Reversed is a test of faith. Take a moment to ask yourself what the deeper life lesson is, and how this is a blessing, not a punishment. You will learn to trust not only in the Universe but also in yourself. You are a vessel for the Divine, and when you have faith and confidence in yourself, you allow the Divine to shine through.

07. The Star reversed also shows that you are disengaged and uninspired with life. Perhaps you started out with great vision and enthusiasm, but you are now finding yourself overwhelmed by day-to-day routines that are boring and dreary. Reconnect to what is truly important to you and your soul’s purpose for this lifetime. Align your daily life with this purpose, and you will find new sources of inspiration.

08. The Star reversed urges you to take time out for self-care and nourishment on a deeply personal and spiritual level, whatever it takes to nurture your spirit and reconnect with your inner essence. Being near water or engaging in a purification ritual will help to nourish you on a deeper level.

Since tarot is an image-forward symbolic system, I find it helpful to look at the different variations of the same card, allowing me to have a more comprehensive understanding of each tarot card.
See if you feel connected to one of the cards more than the others.
