The Star
Major Arcana 17

The Star

KeywordsHope, healing, inspiration, a brighter future

The picture · Bright face · Shadow · Way through

Every card has four faces: what the picture shows, the bright face it turns when the situation supports it, the shadow when the same root is overdone or stuck, and the way through that the picture itself draws.

The picture

Under a great star a woman kneels, pouring water on land and pool

Bright face

Healing, and hope worth trusting again

Shadow

Hope that only gazes, hands still

Way through

The water is already pouring — add your hands and hope becomes fire

As your card of the day

If The Star is the first card you draw today, the day leans toward “Healing, and hope worth trusting again”. When it tips toward “Hope that only gazes, hands still”, remember the way the picture draws: The water is already pouring — add your hands and hope becomes fire.

Read Waite's 1911 text and the correspondences

Auspira is for entertainment and self-reflection. The cards are a mirror that shows the present from another angle; they do not predict the future and are no substitute for medical, legal, financial, or psychological advice.
