The Major Arcanum The Star is a card full of messages that only a good clairvoyant can interpret with total precision. In general, it represents good news, however, the revelations of the card are not always positive, since they could represent a problem when it is inverted in a tarot reading.
Description of the Star card
All cards contain a particular image that reveals a message to the seers. In the case of The Star, the silhouette of a completely naked and kneeling woman stands out. A maiden that expresses the essence of the individual being. This card belongs to the group of the Major Arcana with the number XVII, whose original name is “L’ Etoile”.
The environment where the woman is located is a natural place in front of a lake that symbolizes movement. On the other hand, she holds two jars for a particular function. One of the water jars is used to pour water into the river. While with the other, he pours the liquid into the earth next to his bent knee.
Interpretation of the Card
Each aspect in the Star card has a meaning. First, we find a message in the water falling on the earth: fertility and the continuation of cycles. Water in the stream and then in the earth is the integration of an ancestor into a new being.
In addition, the contact of the woman’s foot on the ground represents the common sense. It is the ability to face situations with wisdom and the power to make wise decisions. On the other hand, the other foot submerged in the water is related to the ability to know how to listen to the inner voice.
The huge star and other smaller stars behind the maiden cannot go unnoticed. These indicate a need for a spiritual change, to develop new habits to purify the aura.
What is the meaning of the Star straight and inverted?
In the Tarot de Marseille, the Star corresponds to that light which acts as a spiritual guide. In other words, it is a path towards enlightened paths where every aspect can be seen. An action that is possible thanks to the immense hope within our inner being. On the other hand, it reflects the eternal spiritual life and the extent of the soul.
Evidently, the arcane exposes the idea of transformation. It manifests how the traumatic experiences of the past have ceased to matter over time. Now is the time to release the negative thoughts and begin to live in a more positive way.
When this card comes up in a consultation, it means that we should handle situations with calm. If we still do not find solutions, we should trust in the divinity of the ancestors, as they will allow for greater clarity. In short, it means to let problems flow because enlightenment will always accompany you.
It should be noted that, in tarot, the message of the card can vary. It is positive when it is presented straight, and negative when it is presented inverted.
Straight Card
The straight orientation of this card shows the correctness of the querent’s decisions. No matter what difficulties arise, because intuition always favors the path to follow. Undoubtedly, it is a positive proof that the actions taken are convenient. In the different aspects of life, it indicates the following:
Health
Health problems can cause concern and uneasiness. However, to consult the tarot and have this card appear indicates a fast recovery.
If you are waiting for a medical result, you will certainly receive excellent news. A state where all values are stable and nothing affects your body.
Love
There is no doubt that this card reveals the wonder of a current relationship or the future of new feelings. It is a fantastic moment where both partners are balanced and in harmony. Therefore, this arcane insists on carrying out new life plans with that special person. A marriage or a move that allows you to move forward in the love bond.
Work
A salary increase, or perhaps a job opportunity, are some of the messages that the card intends to reveal. For this reason, it is essential to analyze your work environment. Accept the position that is being offered to you and achieve high performance.
It is also likely that you will need to expand your knowledge, through university studies, in order to reach higher positions at work.
Finances
You will be lucky in the investments you make. In addition, it is a good time for gambling, but be careful, do not be overconfident in this aspect.
You will get money you did not expect, take advantage of the opportunity and realize that project you have in mind.
Inverted Card
The inverted or upside down card manifests a negative and pessimistic environment for the querent. It is convenient to emphasize that arrogance represents a barrier that does not allow to extinguish bad energies. In fact, the major arcane conveys how the attitude is causing strong spiritual damage. Know the disadvantages, as far as health, love and work are concerned.
Health
The aurora of pessimism that you have been creating in other areas of your life is affecting your physical and mental well-being. Make sure you aren’t immersing yourself in worry and stress. You may be developing an anomaly that you do not yet perceive, but which can be detrimental.
Love
Problems with your partner. The card reflects how affection has been lost and neither of you is looking for a solution. It is clear that distance does not allow a closeness like the one you experienced at the beginning of the relationship.
Do not hesitate to communicate what you feel, express those emotions or attitudes that you do not like. With the help of the ancestral path, together you will find an answer and you will be able to move forward or complete the bond. In case of separation, do not close yourself to love because good things will happen.
Work
The job you once considered perfect has become hopeless. You get bored with whatever you do, you no longer feel pleasure in your work. First of all, examine your behavior with others. Do you make an effort to maintain a good working relationship? If not, start communicating properly and try to enjoy the day-to-day at work.
Finances
You must be careful with purchases, do not overdo or spend more than necessary. Remember to have a fund for unforeseen events, especially those related to health. Financial problems and emergencies may arise that will require money you don’t have.
