XVII — The Star

Hope and renewal after difficulty.

The Star usually shows a figure pouring water onto land and into a pool beneath a large star and seven smaller ones. It follows The Tower in the Major Arcana, so it is often read as calm after upheaval.

Common upright themes

  • Hope, healing, renewal, quiet faith.

Common reversed themes

  • Discouragement, or forgetting your own light.

Reflection

  • What small sign of hope can I notice today?
  • How can I pour some care back into myself?

Lightkeepers offers reflection and education for adults. It is not medical, psychological, or financial advice, and it makes no supernatural promises.
