In a Reading

Traditionally seen as a sign of fame, fortune, good luck, fertility and prosperity, The Star also symbolizes generosity and is synonymous with truth, hope and divine love. She symbolizes the realization that one has found his or her rightful place in a way that will nourish the world from the niche made his or her own. For a man she may embody the discovery and mastery of his feminine side. The Star may represent empowerment for a woman, allowing her reshape her environment and the world around her to her will. She is often associated with nature and ecology.

If she is leaning toward the past or emptiness, then we must ask why she is wasting her energy and what is unresolved. She signifies the time for us to move on from past troubles.

And when she is leaning toward the present or situational card we should ask what energy she imparts.

She signifies a period of spiritual and/or physical renewal. She is a good omen for someone who is recovering from an illness.  She is a light in the darkness, shining on the mystery of our past and future.

In the present, she asks us to achieve balance and exorcise  restraint.

Placed in the future she foretells that a time of rejuvenation is approaching.
