The Star Upright
This is a deeply profound card. The Star is about deeply nourishing yourself and trusting that the universe has your back. In it, a figure pours from two vessels, one into a lake, another onto the earth. This symbolizes the duality of nourishment—both giving back to yourself and nurturing others in the outer world. This is very much a card of hope and faith.
The Star is a reminder that magic is all around you, even if you don’t feel it at the moment. Have patience and trust the healing process. This is also a card of deep healing. It suggests that refilling your inner well is a spell for happiness.
Ultimately, The Star offers a sense of renewed hope after a difficult crossroads. Take a big-picture view of things here. There is more at work than meets the eye. Trust where the universe is leading you.
The Star Reversed
When the Star appears reversed, it’s asking you to nourish your internal life. You’ve been giving a lot out and need to replenish. You’re likely feeling disconnected from yourself or perhaps doubting your path. It’s hard to trust the process when your energy is low or you are otherwise feeling hopeless.
Now is the time to reconnect with your true essence. Remember who you are at your core, the special part of you that remains untouched by the world or the struggles you’ve faced. This will return you to a place of balance and serenity.
Likewise, trust the energies at play in this situation. The universe is always looking out for you.
