Imagery and Symbolism of The Star Tarot Card

The Star shows a naked woman, kneeling in front of a stream and holding two jars, one in each hand. She is showing the authenticity of her power by wearing no jewelry or clothing to protect herself. The woman is pouring water from the two pots. One of these pots goes back to the river, and the other is poured over the shore. As she is pouring, she balances her feet miraculously between 2 worlds, water and earth, the real and the unreal, the conscious and the unconscious.

In the sky, there are eight stars with 8 points, and they surround her in a green landscape rich in plants and flowers. The stars show our understanding that we belong to a world more magnificent and more distant than Earth, and this world is the spiritual realm.

In the background, a bird is sitting in a tree. The bird is a messenger from Heaven that was sent to mediate between what is hidden and what must come to light to achieve healing.

The Lessons of The Star Tarot Card

No crown on her head or wings on her back, no gold chain on her neck, no scepter on her hand, no clothes or shoes, here is the Queen of Heaven. Her hair is wavy and loose falling down her back. She is completely naked, as God created her, kneeling on her left knee by a river with a beautiful landscape as a background.

What was in the past as only a vague impression, now takes shape as a result of an entirely clear vision. We now understand the unlimited possibilities of our development. The force of inspiration allows what seemed impossible to become a reality.

Free at last! Let’s go deeper

The Star is a Tarot card that speaks of liberation. Masks, clothing, or symbols of power are no longer necessary. The spiritual message of The Star is: “Let your star rise in the sky but remain in contact with the earth.” Trust your inspirations and find ways to share what you have discovered with other people. Don’t be afraid to go too far because you are in touch with reality, and reality is in touch with you.

This beautiful naked woman symbolizes the soul. After the collapse of the personality, we’ve discarded our last veils and taken off our masks. The only thing remaining is our True Self, which is one with the Spirit. The flowers of our souls and our consciousness have bloomed. We have learned to understand and forgive ourselves and are able to allow all of the talents God has given us to flow through us into the world.

From the ancient vessels, the woman pours everything into the current of life, the source of all humankind. She doesn’t hold anything back. The Angel of The Star no longer needs to balance the two forces as The Temperance Angel did. She delivers all of her treasures and helps us on our path to seek spiritual Enlightenment.

She gives us tenderness and comfort, understanding and love, which are inexhaustible. The more you pour out courage and strength, knowledge and love, the more they come back to you. The vessels symbolize your heart.

It is not that it is impossible, but that you are on the wrong path, which will waste your time and energy. It also indicates mental rigidity and disharmony, lack of confidence in yourself and others, and a feeling of frustration. You may be experiencing a lack of spontaneity or false hopes.

The simplest reading for The Star reversed is that a negative streak will come in your way.
