Today we look at the Star in Tarot and delve into its imagery and potent call to rebirth. The Star acts as your compass as you begin your Tarot journey, providing guidance, inspiration, and comfort in gloomy and unsure times.
The Star Card: An Overview
The Star, the seventeenth card in the Major Arcana, portrays a placid figure pouring water into a serene river or pond from two vessels. The night sky is illuminated by a bright star that shines above the figure, encircled by dimmer stars. This card radiates serenity, calmness, and a fresh sense of hope.
As a Major Arcana card, the Star follows two cards with destructive energies: the Devil and the Tower. On the Fool’s Path we first come to terms with our own ego and destructive tendencies epitomized by the Devil card. Once that is mastered, we step into the violent, sudden change represented by the Tower. Once past that, we can relax and take some time for ourselves.

The reader provided the reading along with some advice too so the entire reading was very thorough and explained in an understandable manner.
