The Star holds number 17, and it is the eighteenth tarot card of the Major Arcana cards.
The Star tarot card, in its core, usually represents finding peace within by releasing all that doesn’t serve you anymore and believing there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
The Star Meaning
When drawing tarot cards, usually they are put in a vertical setting, spread on a timeline of the past, present, and future. In this kind of drawing, The Star may come up straight, as well as reversed. Some psychic readers like to read reversed tarot cards. Some don’t. Either way, the other tarot cards in the drawing will make up for the way the psychic reader conducts their readings, because a tarot card deck is connected to the energy of the psychic reader, so it ‘talks’ to them.
Upright Position
The Star card would represent:
| Having hope and faith in the future | Manifesting wishes |
| Being aware of your blessings | Having great expectations |
| Regaining motivation and inner strength | Seeing clearer |
| Being stimulated to a higher level | Receiving answers |
| Sharing with others | Opening your heart to allow love to flow freely |
| Holding no resentments | Not holding back |
| Finding peace within | Being untroubled |
| Having renewed faith |
Reverse Position
In a reverse position, The Star would mean precisely the opposite of its core qualities, bringing in the drawing:
| Filling yourself with negativity | Lack of creativity |
| Being bored | Falling into despair |
| Holding onto grudges or the past | Unfulfilled hopes |
Horizontal Position
There are also spreads where the tarot cards pulled are placed on vertical as well as horizontal positions. If The Star would sit in a horizontal position, it advises you to take your time to find inner peace.
It is time for you to release from yourself and your life all that doesn’t serve you anymore, doesn’t cherish you, or doesn’t help you grow. It can be a job opportunity or a closed person. You should be prepared to move on with your life and have faith in the future. It indicates that you may have a hard time before letting go, but it is the only way, and it will happen for you to open your heart and heal.
