17. The Star

The Star card represents hope, inspiration, optimism, and vision. The star takes the form of a graceful, long-haired maiden radiating a soft glow that symbolizes her inner wisdom and innocence. Even when the outside world is cloaked in darkness, her light shines forth, guiding the way with promise and renewal.

Gently, she pours two streams of water onto the earth, symbolizing nourishment and fertility—just as crops need watering after planting, this act prepares for the birth and growth of new life. It suggests that emotional wounds will begin to heal, and new opportunities and insights are on the horizon—a fresh start is within reach.

The appearance of The Moon followed by The Star reflects a progression—from the Moon’s focus on emotion, subconscious, and imagination to The Star’s themes of hope, inspiration, and aspiration. This transition symbolizes personal growth and transformation, a journey from introspection to envisioning a better future.
