What it means
The Star shows a naked figure pouring water onto the earth and into a pool, under a starry sky. It comes after the Tower: it is the calm after the storm. The card speaks of renewed hope, inspiration and healing. It tells you that you are on the right path and that you can trust again, in yourself and in the future. It is one of the brightest cards in the deck.
In love
A healing relationship, sincerity and openness. Hope in a new love or in a relationship that renews itself.
At work and with money
Inspiration and recognition. A goal that seemed far away is within reach again.
Do you have a question for the cards?
Choose a reader and a spread: one card, three, or the full Celtic Cross.
