Meaning
The Star sends a message of unspoiled hope. At the darkest hour there is a light to guide us. The Star encourages us to let our own light shine and to trust in our abilities; it shows the way to happiness and success. We may intuitively do the right thing, and we are looking towards a time of hope and expectation where inspiration comes to us as easily as breathing.
Exploring the Card
Traditionally the Star shows a young woman pouring water into a star-lit lake, but for the HP Tarot the journey of the first-years across the lake to the school makes a good symbol for the meaning of the card.
Journey
The journey may be dark and scary, but at the end of it all there are welcoming lights, brightness, warmth and good food. And once you are there you can discover your own talents, learn and grow, find friends and encouragement along the way.
Visual Description
A tall medieval castle and clustered buildings sit on a high, dark cliff beneath a glittering night sky dominated by a luminous, cross-shaped star. Ornamental white swirls frame the scene at the sides, and a small steep-roofed chapel and a few rowboats drift on a narrow river or inlet at the cliff base. Warm light spills from many windows, and three small wavy lines appear near the bottom center of the image.
