Major Arcana XVII : The Star

Every Tarot deck has its own images and symbolism which must then be filtered through the psyche of the reader and the context of the question. However for the benefit of beginners, below are some possible interpretations and meanings of The Star as a starting point for your own personal exploration of the Tarot.

Reading The Card

The Star represents peace, harmony and tranquility. Possibly it is the calm following the storm that destroyed the Tower.

In this card, the storm has passed and the air smells fresh. It is time for renewal, feelings of hope abound. It is time to stretch ourselves, to look forward to new horizons.

Times change, as do we. A new day brings new hope.

When the Star appears in a Tarot spread it represents new possibilities, new hope, new opportunities. If well aspected then those opportunities will be recognised and grasped.

If badly aspected it can indicate a failure to recognise those opportunities, or lack of courage to take advantage of them.

The future starts now.
