The Star

Major Arcana, 17 — from The 1909 London Deck.

Upright

hope, renewal, a good direction

Things are moving in your favour, quietly. The Star follows the Tower for a reason — it is what calm feels like after something difficult. The outcome is good, though it may take longer to arrive than you want.

In a yes or no reading, The Star upright answers yes.

Reversed

lost heart, doubt, a dimmed outlook

Faith in this has thinned, which is understandable and not the same as being wrong. The situation is better than your current view of it. Give it time before you judge.

In a yes or no reading, The Star reversed answers maybe — the situation has not settled.

What this card does in a reading here

A reading draws one card and answers the question you asked with it. The Star can come up either way up — reversals are on in this deck, because the 1909 original was drawn with them in mind — and the two readings above are the starting point, not the answer. The answer depends on what you asked.
