The Star Upright Draw Meaning
In many representations of The Star, we find a naked woman kneeling beside a pool of water. In both hands are urns. One container is pouring water onto the fertile earth around her, and the streams break into five streams. Those rivulets represent the five senses. With one foot planted on the earth and the other dipping its toes in the water, a divine balance is formed from this pose and bodily placement. She is grounded but open to receiving emotional and spiritual guidance. This is a reminder that while we sometimes know what we must do to have the life we desire, we need to act on those knowing and intuitive moments.
One of the major symbols seen on this card of the Major Arcana deck would be the large yellow star above the woman’s head. The star is intuition, an entity of higher consciousness that acts as our guiding light. There are a total of 7 silver stars on the card, which is connected to the number of chakras humans have in their bodies. The center star has eight points, a symbol of Venus as an evening star, thus hinting at meanings of peace, hope, and love.
As this follows the chaotic energy of The Tower, The Star can be perceived as a sign that you have overcome great difficulty. Now, you’re working on transformation. There is a renewed sense of self-esteem and trust, and you understand how respected you’re by those around you. Perhaps if you feel as if there has been nothing but negative criticism, The Star shines forth to give you faith in a brighter future.
The Star In Love and Relationships
No time is better than now to seek out new love, according to The Star. Do not turn down invitations to join friends at a new restaurant or bar. Stay open to developing all kinds of relationships, and trust in who you’re. Take the time to reach out and grasp the opportunities, the future, and new friendships. Look for any signs that the universe is sending you, and do not hesitate to take action on behalf of your heart when you feel it is right.
If you’re in a current relationship, take drawing this card as a sign that you’re on the right track with your significant other. If you’re struggling in your relationship, this is a sign for you to get on the same page and open up the communication channels again. There was a reason you fell in love; if you can take the time to remember why that was and connect again, your relationship will be all the better for it.
The Star In Career And Finances
Financially speaking, The Star means you can take some risks, for there is a high chance of return. The Star reveals that things are going well for you. You’re settled and content with your job, and even if you don’t currently like where you’re, opportunities are calling that have you dusting off the old resume.
In short, the Star of the Major Arcana is a card that means you’re in touch with your spirituality. Stay true to your vision, and you won’t go astray. On the other hand, if you’re discouraged, look up to the stars and know that these challenges too shall pass.

The Star Reverse Draw Meaning
The Star drawing upside-down reveals that your spiritual environment has become distorted. Rather than feeling hopeful about the future, you’re disillusioned and discouraged. Negative thoughts have begun to chip away at your inner strength.
Another way to read The Star reversed is that you’re uninspired by what is happening around you. You feel that your vision has dried up, leaving you with no purpose in your daily routines. This Tarot card becomes particularly valuable in career readings because it shows that you’re no longer connected to your job. Take this as a sign that you should move on or seek another form of employment.
Right now, your faith is being tested. You may encounter some setbacks, but stay true to yourself and the universe.
