The Star
The Star is a hopeful, restorative card signifying renewal, compassion, and inspiration after a period of destruction or turmoil. It suggests transformation, the calming light that allows you to stand in the face of fear, and the potential for wishes fulfilled or unexpected help. At its best, it brings peace, protection, and renewed spirituality. Reversed or shadowed, it warns of diminished hope, blocked inspiration, or a refusal to acknowledge available opportunities and assistance.

Poem
You walk with Hope, Peace, Renewal, and Grace, as you wander alone unsure of your place. With this light you can see a transformation at hand: in the face of your fears you are now able to stand. Although you have already traveled quite wide and far continue your quest under the light of The Star.
Meaning
The Star is a very positive omen. Notice that the eight-pointed star above the figure's head resembles the one at the center of the moon on The Tower card. This is because The Star is the transformation after destruction, the light in the darkness. It can also indicate wishes fulfilled and general good omens.
Shadow Meaning
In its shadow, The Star may indicate that there is still hope and happiness, but to a lesser degree; or that you are refusing to see the good in front of you.

Visual Description
A winged woman with long dark hair holds a golden pitcher and pours a stream of water downward into a pool while another stream flows into the air. A long, serpentine, fish-like creature arches beside her, its scaled body curling through the composition. Behind them a large geometric star radiates pale light, and the Roman numeral XVII appears at the top while the title "The Star" is printed on a banner at the bottom. Stylized waves and droplets appear beneath the pouring water and the palette is composed of muted teals, purples and golds.
