Reading
One of the most conducive and positive cards of the deck - “Make a wish upon a star’, for to wish upon a star, magic happens and dreams come true.”
The Star often shows up in a reading when we feel lost and doubtful of our future. It prompts us to be mindful of our thoughts and attitudes. When the Star appears, it embodies the message of calm after the storm, bringing with it reassurance, comfort and support even if we don’t feel it straight away. It is the usher of serenity and tranquility, ‘the light at the end of the tunnel.’ The declaration of a new day and promise of inner peace ‘at hand’ after a problematic time/s. It foretells tomorrow is another day, and to listen to the voice within and let the Universe guide us. The Star points to understanding what we have experienced has helped us find our resilience and inner power. Now we can appreciate all we have and move on to a new life with renewed power and strength. It symbolises feelings of hope and regeneration. We have emerged from the darkness, and life is beautiful once more (situations are improving through fresh insights). When we ‘draw’ the Star card, it highlights healing, a healing that begins deep within us that manifests itself in all life areas. We are transcending to higher vibrations, embarking on a new profound journey that will bring greater meaning and purpose into our lives and renew our inner energy. The Star wants us to open our hearts, realise our inner strength, and have faith that the best is yet to come. The Star card promises a brighter future. We have many opportunities coming our way; we just need to seize them to fulfil our goals. Now is the time to put out our intentions as new opportunities transpire to make our dreams come true – the star lights the way. It is time to broaden our horizons and plan with optimism. It represents our ability to discover or rediscover our dreams and focus on bringing them to fruition. It speaks of hope for the future, dreams come true, wishes granted, health improvement, and reassurance that we’ll get want we want. The card of beauty, the Star, brings a sparkling clarity of vision and purpose that enhances positivity in our life. We have a lot to be optimistic about because the Universe is blessing us at this time.
Further, another message of the Star is a generous spirit. The Star shines so brightly that it tells us that we are more extensive than we think. We are the light in someone’s life, and it is also time to share. To help others transform their lives, benefit through the good things we receive.Additionally, the Star is an indication of success in artistic and educational matters as well as travel.
The Star is the Universe’s way of letting us know all is well with the world, and matters and events will resolve themselves naturally. It reminds us we can connect with the source of life and inspiration - love, harmony and creativity. The Universe is saying it’s time to receive its many blessings.
It asks us to let the Star be our guide because magic is flowing all around us
