The Star tarot card is the eighteenth card of the Major Arcana. It is a card full of optimism, hope for the future, and renewed faith. If you’ve been having a tough time and receive the Star in a tarot reading, you can now feel calm and optimistic about the times ahead. Take it as a sign of optimism – as a light at the end of a tunnel. You will soon regain your motivation and rise to the top again.
The Star card shows a naked woman kneeling beside a bright blue lagoon. The woman has one foot on the ground and the other in the water. Behind the woman shines one prominent and seven smaller stars
- The woman’s naked body represents fertility, as well as authenticity.
- Her position half on land, half on water, represents both her practical abilities and inner resources.
- The stars represent her divine energy and the seven chakras.
The woman is holding two containers of water. With the one in her right hand, she pours a stream of water into the pond. With the other container, she pours water on the earth. This seems to emphasize fertility and her motherly instincts, which is also highlighted by the lush greenery.

Your sense of positivity can be a powerful magnet for you in these times, giving you a sense of charisma and charm.

As long as you two stay communicative and honest with one another, the rough times in life will only bring the two of you closer together.

Health and Spirituality
Because it is a healing card, the Star is a wonderful sight for anyone worried about their body or mind. I rarely see the Star show up in a reading for someone dealing with health issues. But if it does, it tells you to stay positive and optimistic that better times are ahead. The Star wants you to find peace in every single area of your life.
The Star has a strong spiritual connection, so don’t be surprised if you feel more in tune with the Universe than usual. You’ve realized that the difficulties from the past have made you stronger and wiser. Be open to new ideas and growth, and listen to the still voice within.
The Star Tarot Card Meaning – Reversed
The Star in the reversed position can indicate that you are feeling hopeless. You may be feeling confounded by life’s challenges and questioning why you are being put through this. This can leave anyone feeling miserable and unmotivated. Still, in times like these, you need to take responsibility and decide to get through this. And you will! Appreciate this opportunity to grow stronger. Take it as a blessing, not punishment.
Love and Relationships
When it comes to love and relationships, the Star tarot card has a lot to do with losing faith and focusing on negativity. This is not only about relationships, but the doubt and loss of faith can also apply to yourself and your feelings about love in general.
If you are in a relationship, The Star reversed indicates that you are focusing on the negative and missing the positive aspects of your relationship. You may feel that your relationship has become dull and monotonous and that you and your partner have lost connection on some level. These problems can be fixed, but first, you have to clear out any negative energy and work towards revitalizing your connection.
If you have been single for some time, negativity can start to appear as cynicism. It may make you believe that love will eventually break us all and only create pain. In moments like these, it is vital to know that negativity will only push the opportunities further. Positivity is the one that attracts.
Money and Career
When the Star shows up reversed in a career reading, it may be likely that your negativity affects your work. Your enthusiasm seems to be gone, or your creativity is blocked by all the pessimistic thoughts. You need to start focusing on the positive and change your attitude. Most likely, things are not as bad as you let yourself believe. The Star reversed can also indicate that you are not using your creativity and are letting your talents go to waste.
Regarding money, and you have had financial difficulties, the reversed Star tarot card tells you that any problems are within your power to change. But this can only happen if you can gather positivity to see things in a new light and make an effort. Reevaluate your monetary goals and ask yourself if you are doing the things needed to get you what you want. Opening your heart to a more positive outlook can also open your eyes to opportunity.
Health and Spirituality
The Star reversed can indicate that your health issues are amplified by your concerns and negativity at the moment. You may be causing yourself to feel non-existing symptoms psychologically. If you are worried about a health issue, it’s better to see a doctor and let your mind be at ease. Also, focus on the positive aspects of your health and not worry so much.
The reversed Star urges you to take time out for self-care and nurture your personal and spiritual level profoundly. Your energy reserves may be well and indeed exhausted, so rather than pushing yourself even further, make time just for you. Pamber yourself and reconnect to your daily spiritual practices. Take an energetic bath, or a purification ritual will help to nourish you on a deeper level.
