The Star is the 17th card in the Major Arcana of the Tarot and represents hope, inspiration, healing, and spiritual guidance. It follows the turmoil of The Tower and suggests a time of calm, renewal, and optimism.
The Star reminds you to stay connected to your inner light and to remain open to receiving divine inspiration and healing energy.
The Star represents a powerful source of inspiration, both spiritual and creative. It often signals a time of clarity, when you can access your inner vision and feel inspired to pursue your dreams. It encourages you to trust in your intuition and your ability to manifest your desires.
A word of caution: while the Star card invites you look upwards, you should keep your feet firmly planted on solid ground. This way you can safely reach for the starts, without of fear of falling too deep.
Reversed meaning
Loss of Hope: The Star reversed can indicate feelings of hopelessness or disillusionment. You may be struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel or feeling disconnected from the sense of optimism and possibility that the upright Star offers.
Feeling Lost or Directionless: This card can suggest a time when you’re uncertain about your path or purpose. You might feel disconnected from your dreams or unable to see a clear direction forward. This lack of clarity can lead to frustration or a sense of aimlessness.
Spiritual Disconnection: The reversed Star can indicate a disconnection from your spiritual beliefs, intuition, or sense of divine guidance. You may feel spiritually drained or disconnected from the sense of higher purpose that usually provides comfort and clarity. This could also reflect a period of skepticism or doubt about your spiritual practices or beliefs.
Difficulty in Healing: The Star reversed may signal that you’re struggling with physical, emotional, or spiritual healing. This can manifest as stagnation, where the healing process feels slow or blocked, or as a feeling that recovery is impossible or unattainable. It suggests that you may need to pay more attention to self-care, patience, and seeking support to overcome this block.
Disillusionment: Sometimes, The Star reversed indicates that you may have been let down by a situation, person, or belief system. You may feel as though your expectations were unrealistic or that a dream has been shattered, leaving you feeling disillusioned or jaded.
Lack of Faith: This card can indicate a loss of faith, either in yourself, others, or the universe. You may feel disconnected from your sense of purpose or wonder if things will ever improve. It asks you to consider how your doubts or negative thinking might be impeding progress or healing.
Blocked Creativity or Inspiration: The Star reversed can point to a lack of creative inspiration or mental clarity. If you’ve been feeling uninspired or creatively blocked, this card encourages you to reassess what may be causing the block—whether it’s emotional exhaustion, self-doubt, or external pressures.
Emotional Exhaustion: The reversed Star might also signal emotional burnout or fatigue. You may feel drained, overwhelmed, or unable to replenish your energy, which could affect your ability to think clearly or remain optimistic.
