The Star upright
The Star shines after the storm, soft and clear, pouring her water over a soothed earth. She invites you to breathe, to let hope return, and to believe again in what’s possible. After what has tested you, a quiet light guides your steps and feeds your faith. Let yourself be inspired; the best of you has room to bloom.
The Star reversed
Reversed, the Star speaks of a trust that’s a little veiled, a discouragement, or the sense of having lost the thread of hope. Maybe fatigue is darkening your view, or you doubt your own possibilities. The light isn’t out, only hidden behind the clouds of the moment. Offer yourself some tenderness, and soon you’ll see your sky shimmer again.
