3 Card Tarot Reading

The Empress Tarot Card Meaning

The Empress is so caring but also hard, she has had to be, she has been through the washing machine of life, the stress cycles and stands there as the person who is adored. This is a woman who sits on that throne because she created the throne and the kingdom around her, she needs no permission. The most important thing I want to say to you, is this women does not need it validated. She does not need anybody to tell her she's doing fine. She KNOWS. She is really fucking powerful. And here is the bit nobody talks about. The Empress raises life. That is her power! But this is not soft. When this card appears in your reading she isn't saying "just chill and enjoy the abundance." She isn't saying YOU ARE THE ABUNDANCE. She is saying stop looking outside yourself for something you already are. Stop letting someone else give you what you built. And, that now, in this moment the harvest is ours. You grew it, and more importantly it is about making sure you stop apologising for taking up space.

If anyone has made you feel stressed out over the last few weeks - like your work isn't important, your body isn't enough, your creativity is pointless - the Empress has a message for them. She barely looks at them. Because, she does not need to. She keeps growing things. That is the most devastating response anyone can ever give, in the face of stress, even failure she keeps building and she keeps growing. You don't fight them, you don't argue, you keep creating. So one day they are in YOUR garden wondering how it got so big.

What does the Empress represent?

The Empress represents mothering love, an authority figure that is looking out for you and is often a kind guardian, it could also represent you, that you are now on the higher levels of spirituality, that you have learned your lessons. She is wise and has attained her place in the hierarchy of the older tarot through her own missteps and finding her way. She has learned her lessons and is now in a position to give her wisdom to you. This is usually a motherly representation in one way or another indicating that you need to look out for someone around you or that someone is looking out for you. She can be represented as an older woman with authority in her own right that has come from wisdom and experience.

She is a reminder that life is precious and can be found in even the smallest of moments. By her side stands a guardian to protect and watch over us in our journeys ahead. Her aura is one of elegance, power, beauty and love - an invitation to explore the possibilities of life. She is the Empress and she stands ready to nurture us all.

As I have said above the Empress also represents a pure form of abundance. If you have received this card in your reading, you are going to be well taken care of. You will get everything that you desire and more. 

She symbolizes the Land of Milk and Honey after a long journey of hard labor and stress. She is the Universal Goddess: Isis Unveiled, fertile, strong and dynamic. She is also Venus: plump and curvy, attracting wealth like a magnet. This woman is represents female strength as well as a symbol of ultimate abundance in your life. I want you to know that her needs will be fulfilled with joy and satisfaction. There is no need to fear. Having the Empress on your side is like having a fierce mother, protecting you always. Receiving this card in your reading means that you are making the right decision, that you are supported, and that there is a vast array of possibility for abundance currently transiting around you. Many rewards are coming your way.

The Empress, governed by so many feminine energies is pure emotion and deep intuitive understanding. The lessons that you have learned in your life will now continue to benefit you. As you apply what you learn, you will reap the benefits of emotional rewards. She encourages you to express unfiltered emotions because you have earned the right to do so.

The Empress In Love

When the Empress shows herself in a reading about Love whoever you are thinking about ADORES you. So be prepared to go through a cycle of being worshipped. Everyone wants to be close to you because you are The God/Goddess of Love. How can they resist you? It is practically impossible. This is your time to say what you want exactly the way that you want it and have others rush to your side to provide it. Take this time to be a little selfish; do not compromise your beliefs or your integrity for anyone that isn’t similar to you. Take this opportunity to attract someone fantastic, that matches your energy, and let it happen. Now is the time.

The Empress As Feelings

As I have said above if someone feels the empress towards you they ADORE you. They are going in with an open heart and generous spirit, the Empress tarot card speaks to us of a connection that is deeply honest and honoring. She means to “feel adored” and accepted by another person on a soul level - as if they hold you thought dear, respect and care for each of your needs. Regardless of circumstances or external factors, this tarot card can serve as a powerful reminder to show respect for others. As long as we do not attach any strings, requirements, or conditions to our love, we become an incredible force for healing.

The Empress has meaning that extends beyond just pregnancy, but also the earth by extension and the act of lovemaking, too. In your enquiry of feelings, it points to clear and obvious physical attraction that pulls the person you ask after towards you like a moth to a flame. Tread carefully, lust clouds the head like fog – physical love doesn’t guarantee feelings beyond the surface level. If the attraction is shared, take small steps forward to see if you are also compatible in terms of opinion and lifestyle before going any further with the relationship. 

The Empress Love Reconciliation

Yes, you will likely get back together this is commitment, beauty, happiness, and, of course, the starting of a family. There’s a REAL feeling here, and pregnancy. If you are single, a new romance is likely to blossom. Keep your eyes open and enjoy every minute, this next love may well be “the one” you’ve always waited for. Remember to stay in tune with the emotional side of any fledgeling relationships, it is not just the physical attraction that matters, but emotional compatibility, too.

The Empress in Health

When the Empress comes up with a reading where health is asked, she is telling you that you have been working too hard and it is time stop and smell the roses. You likely are in a place where you can enjoy the rewards of your hard efforts and look upon them from a comfy chair overlooking the ocean and be pleased with what you have been able to accomplish. The act of healing from a busy time is just as important as any other preventative measure one to protect their health.

When stress is allowed to eat at the body, it begins to disintegrate. The Empress informs you that you need to give yourself the time off that you deserve so that you can have the perspective of a job well done. The Empress also weighs in on reproductive health. If you are trying to get pregnant or are pregnant, this card bodes well for you because you have her support. If you are trying to increase circulation or need to focus on feminine issues, the Empress will help you.

The Empress in Work, Money, Business, Career, and Wealth

Take or plan a vacation and enjoy the moment rather than constantly trying to find ways to make more money. Often this card will pop up when you are at risk of spreading yourself too thin. Do not make large decisions regarding change of employment or financial issues. If you are seeking work, the Empress says that it is going to take time. Even in the most dire situations, there are solutions that can be found and likely others that are willing to help you get on your feet until a more productive air is around you. As the empress is connected to the earth element in work she brings with her a nurturing move on the part of an employer or employee. Something is delicate, almost born. It can mean that you might be aiming high but you need time to develop yourself. The empress also indicates that one must be guided firmly but surely if contemplating a new career path.

The Empress Advice

The advice of this card is to be who you are and stop asking for permission. That's the message. Pulling the Empress into advise mode, she looks you in the eye and says WHY ARE you WAITING? And you know what to do, you know this for weeks. But the Empress doesn't check, she creates. She chooses and then builds and if someone does not like what she built they do not tear it down - they plant something else next to it. Whatever decision you are circling now, there is no information shortage going on right now. The Empress in advice is like your grandmother telling you to just do it.

The Empress Yes Or No

This card for this position is a yes. The Empress is connected to positive outcomes and new beginnings. In questions regarding fertility or pregnancy, this card carries extra meaning; your answer is it will happen, and there is very likely to be a baby in your future. 

The Empress Past

The Empress highlights a significant female figure from your past, she walked through the pages of your history like a leader, leaving her mark and paving the way for you. She might have been maternal, she might have been an equal, whatever the case, did she teach you lessons that you are now ignoring? This card may also appear in your past position when an opportunity you seized in the past has come good in the present. Seeds do not grow overnight but instead, they must be cared for and watered in order to become something more. The card reminds you that hard work is worth it, even when the rewards lie further down the road than you’d like. 

The Empress Present 

And something new is coming! The thing I want to remind you is that you don't have to be BRAVE in the way you think brave looks. No need to charge forward with a sword, as the Empress wears no sword. Yes, she really grows things, she is strong but not loud. It is deep and still and immovable if you know what I mean. It's the woman who keeps the whole family together and nobody notices until she stops. So stop figuring out what this new thing is. She needs soil and time and the will to keep going when nothing is visible yet. Seeds are already in the ground. And here I am telling you that you were the one who planted them - believe it or not. That was planting. every decision you made recently, every hard conversation, every door you closed - that was planting. And now let it grow, you will change with this new chapter. Let it change. 

The Empress Future and Outcome

All I can say is massive abundance is coming.  You will blossom into something much, much more; it could be a personal ambition about to take flight, a new relationship or stage of commitment with a loved one, or simply a change in location and lifestyle. Whatever the transformation, be happy that you have it all to come - the results will be as beautiful and distinct as a crystal blue sea.

The Empress As Friendship

For friendship, this is having real friends for once. If you are seeing this card, you are an important part of that balance so keep on doing what you’re doing and the happiness within your friendships will continue to fill each of you with gratitude and joy. If you have broken a friendship or had problems with a female then this is a kind of healing card. Things are going to work out. 

Reversed Empress In A Reading

The Empress in the reversed position, in my view, is symbolic of infertility, inconclusiveness, lack of abundance and confusion as well as instability and sometimes financial issues. It can also be a female that is starting to really ANNOY you. This happens when one is too caught up in attempting to make everything perfect and there is never any rest to gather what was. This also means that you need to use caution in your spending habits so as to not flitter away financial resources.

Take care to set up a nest egg for yourself so that you might be prepared should something go wrong. Question your poverty mindset and your feelings toward money or abundance. Do you feel worthy of relaxation? Of reaping the benefits that you have sown after hard work? Do you feel as though it is impossible to catch up? Ask the Empress to help heal your poverty mindset so that you can reap the benefits of the abundance that she has to offer you.

The Empress Reversed - Love and Romance

Your relationship is bad right now this card drawn means the lover is both tender and sad at the same time. It could be that you fight over little stuff. Maybe somebody gets mad about nothing. This often occurs when we realize something has gone, or that you forgotten to love each other. The Empress reversed also carries warnings of a love that has resulted in some hardness and lack of empathy. For some of you, you and your partner may have been arguing or ignoring opportunities to be tender and loving with one another.

The Empress reversed - Family and Home

Thsi card can sometimes end up in spreads  when the maternal figure of the family has been too busy or occupied to take on her normal role as the carer and nurturer of the family. If this figure is usually you (reversed), then it is worth refocussing your attention. Remember that communication and affection are two of the most important things in any happy, healthy family talking.

The Empress Reversed - Work and Finances

I often see this when someone's career has become dull and unfulfilling, it may not be awful, but like bread without butter, it’s far from ideal. Perhaps the pay is good, but the emotional side of things are lacking and leave a hole in your life. The Empress asks if you have put money and status above what you’re truly passionate about? Or maybe you are working hard and enjoying your tasks but not feeling the benefit of appreciation from your colleagues or boss. Sometimes we can improve things without making huge changes, we just need to look at things in a new light and keep an open mind to see the possibilities before us. 

The Empress Reversed - Health and Wellness

Remember that the best way to break out of a lull of energy is to force yourself to get more active and reignite your passion for life, through movement and the great outdoors. This card has a connection with nature, and when reversed it may highlight that a person is spending too much time indoors and away from the natural world, are the four walls closing in? For women trying to conceive, this card reversed often suggests complications or issues with infertility. Go to your doctor for a check-up to see what your situation is.  These complications may appear both for women who do want to conceive and for those who may unknowingly be pregnant and so it’s better to be safe than sorry.  

The Empress Reversed - Personal Spirituality

The Empress reversed points to a crossroads of the true spiritual path. You may have allowed yourself to disconnect from your spiritual journey, sometimes the daily bustle of life gets in the way of the deeper meaning that sits behind everything. This card reversed urges you not to get caught up in the mundane things in everyday life.

The Five Of Wands Tarot Card Meaning

When you see the Five of Wands in a reading, be ready for some friction or competition in your life. It can represent friendly rivalry or it can be a deeper conflict that is arising around you right now. The good news is that this is not a dire situation in your life, but it does indicate to you that you have to bring your ‘A game’ and keep on your toes in order to come out on top. Often this card will represent a need to be diligent in your actions at this time and make sure to cover your backside.

The combative nature of the Five of Wands indicates that there is strife in your physical world as well as your emotions. The people fighting on the front of the card indicate that there are multiple individuals in your life that you are at odds with. While there is usually one main person that comes to mind when this card is present, often there is also an overall sense of being overwhelmed or being attacked. It is a time of stress and needing to pull together all of your resources. You need to be sure that the people you bring close to you have your true intentions at heart.

The background of the card reveals a dull-looking sky – often interpreted as sunset or sunrise. This card can represent the beginning or the end of the strife in your life. Depending on the other cards around it, you may be headed for rocky waters. To know which aspect of this card is being represented a turn to the future and the past cards of your reading and you should get a clearer idea of where you stand regarding this issue.

The same can hold true in relation to whether this card is a good or bad omen for you at this time. When paired with any cards concerning expansion or if you happen to have a lot of fire in your reading then it is likely more positive and indicates moving past conflict in order to make you grow stronger. Be wary of cards indicating stagnation, often seen with emotional cards like the Cups suit, because it can mean that you are deadlocked or that growth is limited right now.

The Five of Wands in Love

With the Five of Wands in a reading concerning love, it can be a negative sign for a relationship. It doesn’t denote breaking up necessarily as it is more about a struggle than an ending. Sometimes we must have difficult times in order to strengthen and gain resolve. All relationships are tested and at this time you are likely feeling the full force of that. Avoid running away or shutting down when conflict arises in a relationship that concerns love, friends, or family.

You are likely to find that right now you are being challenged by your partner and often the card will be seen when a couple has entered into a new phase of a relationship but the rules haven’t been established. Ponder on what ways your relationship is being tested and focus your attention of meeting conflict head-on with a healthy and well-discussed solution. Snap-judgments are going to be a big problem with your relationships in this time. You can’t control the actions of your partner, but you can be responsible for yourself. Make an extra effort at this time to be a bigger person even if your partner is acting out, being emotional, or irritable.

Consider ways in which your own values are being challenged in regards to love. If you are looking for love understand that right now may not be the best time. Rather than fighting your path, try to realize what areas of your life need attention and care. This is likely a time for you to straighten out your own problems in your life or emotionally so that you don’t drag them into your next relationship. You want to be able to enter your next relationship with open arms and an open heart. Love will find you when you are truly ready, not when you think you are.

The Five of Wands As Feelings

If you drew this card asking about someone's feelings for another - then this can mean that they are feeling quite invisible in the relationship, it could possibly be that the attention of the person’s affection is taken by something else non-love related. Equally, it can also signify that the person who has feelings has a security issue. They don’t think you like them that much!  The card can also appear in a reading when there is a game that is being played - who is the player?

Look at how the two figures on the card reach out for each other. It can indicate that there are going to be friends and challenges - and something new or exciting will come from this. The five of wands can also signify fighting and standing out. It could mean that the person doesn’t want either of these things to happen - because they think you’re special. Additionally, this card can indicate that they are conflicted about feelings about you. It can often appear when somebody is taken in a relationship or that they feel the other person has too many admirers!

The Five of Wands Love Reconciliation

The five of wands indicates possible seduction. The more desperate you seem to your ex indicates that you may be focused on begging and pleading and acting desperately can be ultimately turn off. If you are finding yourself emailing, calling or texting loads then think about the fact that seductive is not always desperation. Drawing this card in the upright position can mean you do have a chance of building better relationships. If you want somebody back badly then try not to be too obsessive. Reversed the card can mean that you need to pause when it comes to the relationship for your own sanity for a while. Really think about what you need.

The Five of Wands Yes Or No

Genuinely this is a “No” card. The card itself signifies not only obsession but also a struggle between conflict and battles. Sometimes it can represent that despite everything conflicts can be overcome, becoming a “Yes” card in the future. There is such an aggressive stance in the card that it represents “No.” Sorry!

The Five of Wands in Health

Because this is a card of strife, it is often not a good sign when in a health reading or a position of your reading relating to wellness. Usually, it will appear when you are going through a struggle with your health or as an indicator that you are putting your energy into the wrong areas of your life. If you are having a lot of medical troubles right now that seem to be confusing doctors (such as in the case of fibromyalgia, intestinal pain, or generalized anxiety issues) then you may be well-served to try a different avenue such as homeopathic, chiropractic, or natural medicine.

The card also serves as a reminder for you to stay strong and focus on the positive. If you are heading into surgery or need a medical procedure done, be forewarned that you may have a struggle ahead of you in regards to getting back on your feet. Remember that this is not a card that carries dire consequences. It is not a bad omen or anything for you to be particularly worried about. Rather, do your best to stay positive even through darker times. It is okay to be worried because that shows concern. However, you want to be careful to give into excess anxiety. Over analyzing every symptom or utilizing WebMD like sites where you get too much information is likely to drive you crazy. Reign in your emotions at this time and focus on the end goal. It may be helpful to utilize meditation techniques such as envisioning the healthy outcome you want as a reminder of where you would like your health to be heading.

The Five of Wands in Work and Wealth

The Five of Wands often shows itself in work or financial readings when there is someone or something to be distrusting of. In this area of your life, the strife of the card is usually not as direct as it is in another aspect. Be leery of being given false information especially at work. Now is a time to be on your guard. Likely you have a hidden enemy. This doesn’t mean that you should be paranoid about everyone around you, but you do have to be extra careful about crossing every T and dotting every I. You don’t want to have something come back on you because you were relying on someone else or give them the chance to put the blame on you.

Financially speaking it is also important to be extra careful with your money. The card can be a sign that a company or business is going to be headed for financial troubles and is especially indicative of troubles with bookkeeping or tax issues. Take time to go over your finances and ensure that everything is in order.

The Five of Wands As Advice

If the card lands in the advice position, the five of wands reversed indicates that you need to try to not come across as too needy and desperate (which I have outlined above in a love reading). When you act desperately you are shooting yourself in the foot and sabotaging any chance of happiness.  Upright,  the card can indicate that you need to be able to forgive somebody for their own actions. 

The actionable advice of this card is that you need to try to stop bickering and arguing. Being at odds with others is not healthy in the long term especially quibbling over details. They can be a sense of achievement and desire to go against an opponent even to rise to the challenge and be involved in a game or even a sport. There is also a sense of annoyance and it is important to try to get the balance together that you need in order to move forward in life.

The Five of Wands Past - Upright and Reversed

This is a fantastic card to appear in the past position - upright or reversed. It can mean that you have suffered strife, power struggles, contests, and competition. Look at the picture of two people stretched away from each other - it can indicate a struggle for success. There have been minor difficulties or conflicting interests then this can mean all this strife - is behind you. When you fear your own internal ideas then it cannot be clear of the best course of action. The good news is that the lack of pleasure is long behind you.

The Five of Wands Present - Upright and Reversed

In the present position, drawing the five of wands can mean that you are in conflict with people. It can suggest that you are displaying aggressive and defensive tendencies. This could be in either a love affair or in regards to work. In spiritual journeys, this card often represents being safe from the underworld, despite everything we can all overcome the struggles. In the four of wands, we saw the harmony and ambitions come to life. However, the five of wands we are now focused around one's anger, fighting, and destruction. The thing that really strikes me about this card appearing in your present is that the conflict is playful. Therefore do not take the card or conflict too seriously! Reversed (in the present position) this card can signify a new start after inner conflict. 

The Five of Wands Outcome/ Future Position - Upright and Reversed

The five of wands tarot card appearing in the future or outcome position can suggest that despite difficulties you are generally going to engage in psychic self-defence. This is naturally can help any conflicts you are facing at the moment.  the final ones is quite an interesting card in the future position means that you need to protect yourself against any difficulties or conflicts. Since it appeared in the future position you might also experience some inner conflict possible an animosity. For love in the future, this card showing in the future is a love affair is going to be unstable or simply up-in-th-air. Reversed the meaning indicates that you will face conflict in order to get your own way.

The Five of Wands In Friendship

Even though the five of wands are a card of strife, for friendships it could be a card of renewal. The image on the card goes back to our primitive state and needs. For example, you can see two people holding out their hands to each other - joining together. This card often appears when there is a “friendship that has gone wrong” alternatively there is problems in the day-to-day world - it suggests that there is intellectual engagement and stimulation in the friendship but it's taken a turn for the worse and conflict has materialized.

Reversed Meaning - Five of Wands

In the reversed position the Five of Wands indicates that you are coming out of a period of struggle. Some will say that there are still tensions while others state that the pressures in your life are being dispersed. You are likely to still feel the effects of a stressful time and even holding on to negativity. When this card comes up in the reversed position it is a good time to purge the bad and let go of the negativity that you are holding on to. It signifies the end of strife, which can be good. However, if there was a lack of closure for you – such as in the case that someone broke up with you, you were fired from a job, or something was taken away from you – then you are faced now with the negative consciousness associated with this loss. It is easy to dwell on things that have already happened, to wish that a situation was different, or focus on what you could have done differently. It doesn’t help though as what has happened has already happened and we can’t change the past. Learn from your own mistakes and work on forgiving others of their own shortcomings. No one is perfect and even from huge blunders in our life, there is often a lesson to be learned.

Love And Relationships - The Five of Wands Reversed

The five wands reversed in a love reading can simply indicate that you are holding on to emotions and conflicts.  If you pulled this card reversed in a love reading it normally represents that you are trying “too hard” in a relationship and it seems like an uphill battle.  Always remember that battles can be won. It can also suggest you are coming across as being rather needy. Maybe you want somebody to focus on your positive aspects rather than negative ones? The advice in a love reading means that you need to not come across as too desperate!

Health and Wellness - The Five of Wands Reversed

The reversed five of wands card is focused on conflict and disruption of health matters, therefore, the five of wands as revealing some minor health concerns. There is much conflict that is going on within the card and the question about health means you need to look after yourself. This could be the message from the divine. There was also an emphasis on disagreements and competitions when this card appears so look after your mental health.

Family and Home - The Five of Wands Reversed

We all know that the five of wands is associated with competition and disagreement and can often suggest family disruption. Disruption can take on many different forms but is always brings out a feeling of worry and despair. When we break the family bonds that bind us whether that is emotionally or mentally we can sometimes feel a sense of uneasiness within. If you're feeling like this then it is important to step away and think about the overarching picture but ensure that you remain strong.

Personal spirituality - The Six of wands reversed

The five of wands indicates a complex time. Facing not only conflict but also competition. It could mean that you need to be selfish and defensive in order to succeed spiritually. 

This can be a trying time for anyone in the most important piece of advice is to remain faithful and be at peace internally. Often, in live readings, the five of wands reversed can represent having a rival or up somebody else has something more to offer. It is very difficult to grow on a spiritual plane when there is so much conflict in daily life. The most important takeaway from this card is that you need to give yourself space and meditation time required to overcome your current obstacles.

The Star Tarot Card Meaning

When the tower exploded in the previous card, something really cool happened: a star emerged from the sky  and started sending you REAL possibilities! 

Lucky you! If the Star card is coming up in your reading then you should feel just a little bit special. The universe shines it light on you through the Star card bringing forth peace, tranquility, and most of all hope. The Star card represents a true connection with the divine and that there are favorable energies guiding you at this time. You are on the right path. You are making the right decision. You must trust in yourself as you already have the answer that you seek.

The symbolism of the Star card tells a story of a woman (or goddess) renewing the land (the material world) and water (the emotional or spiritual world) by pouring from the two pitchers in her hands. The bird above her shoulder is Ibis, a favorable sign from the ancient Egyptians of the God Thoth and he knows a secret. Thoth is good at that. The whole world is still in the moment of twilight as the stars begin to shine. This is a time of wisdom and a time for listening.

Often this card comes up during a time of emotional turmoil where you don’t know which way is the right way for you and you feel overwhelmed or even afraid of making the wrong choice. It’s a card that begs the question: What does your heart tell you? If you listen to the truth within yourself, once you allow it to all be silenced, what answer resounds the most? It’s difficult, because the trick to the Star card is learning how to listen and for most of us, that is the hardest lesson of all. To get there you first have to understand that there is hope in your situation and all is not lost. The solution is not as far away as you think and you are not alone.

The Star in Love

If you are seeing this card there are likely deep questions within your relationship or towards love in general. Now is a time to follow your instinct regarding a partner for better or for worse. If you are questioning fidelity in a relationship, for example… understand this does not mean that just because you fear that they are cheating that it is true. Rather, again you have to remember to remove yourself from the situation. Your current relationship is not your past relationship and often you will find that when questioning that you are not putting true standards up to your current partner. Listen to your instincts, which does not mean listen to your fear. You may find that now is a good time to take a step back in the relationship and look at the positives and the negatives. Most of the time the Star is a good sign for a relationship that tells you that things in a rocky relationship can be mended if you open your heart and allow yourself to be a little more vulnerable.

In regards to being single and looking for love, the Star card is also a positive sign. It usually will reveal a long term relationship growing into more rather than meeting someone completely fresh and new. The Star offers a time to mend old relationships and you may be surprised to see someone from your past coming back into your life. On a more personal note, it can also tell you to take a look at your own emotions regarding love and take stock in areas where you have been hurt in the past. Now is a good time to be open to new beginnings and a reminder that with each new relationship comes new possibilities. It also carries a warning of comparing new relationships to past ones.

The Star As Feelings

The star is always bright and for me, this is the symbol of hope, always guiding towards whatever we strive for, letting us be open to receive positives from all over. The star appears when things are seemily black, there is still a glimmer of light guiding us forward. To those around us, the star represents what we want in life for and the impact we can make in this world - it's a symbol of external love that lies within each one of us. The star stands for: hope, love, strength, ambition and resilience. For feelings the star card reminds us that the person feels you might be “out of reach” that it might not be possible to fully be able to have the relationship that you deserve. That is not to say, it might not happen but from my interpretation of a feelings spread this could be something that is just a wish in the night’s sky.

The Star As Love Reconciliation

If you draw this for a love coming back it is positive. The star twinkles a little hope, encouraging love, and that this love will find their way back to you. When two people part ways again, they are filled with renewed faith that one day they will find a lasting reconciliation. The star has shown love can never truly die; it simply needs time and care to blossom once more.

The Star in Health

What else but good health would you expect from a card that offers hope and renewal? This is a very favorable omen when dealing with health concerns and says that there is a positive energy around you that will help keep you on the mend. It is also a card that reminds you that a healthy body comes from a healthy mind. You need to be sure that you are promoting positive thoughts about your health to keep healing or strengthening your body. When this card comes up it is a great time to think about making a positive change in your health as well – such as starting a new routine that focuses on wellness of both the mind and body such as yoga, tai chi, or eating healthier.

The Star in Work and Wealth

If you are having issues with money the Star card often comes up once everything has spun out of control. Financially it can talk about needing time to recover from a loss, to get unhealthy spending habits in check, and to focus your efforts on charity. The hope in this card clearly shows that there is a path to getting your financial troubles on track. If you are not having financial troubles when this card comes up (which is rare) the Star card acts as a warning card. Now is a good time to seek financial guidance before making a big purchase or taking out a loan. You need to be wary of doing business that requires heavy investments or risk.

On the work front the Star is a good omen that increased work is coming your way. Usually coming up when one feels stuck or in a dead end sort of position, it offers a preverbal light at the end of the tunnel. If you are currently employed do not be surprised if something new arises in small doses like an increase of responsibility or someone important taking an interest in your work. For the job seeker, you are more than likely feeling like your job search will never end. The Star card offers hope that things are going to be changing soon. It may be in your best interest to consult an agency or headhunter – seek assistance to get yourself on track.

The Star Advice/Action

The star in an advice or action position tells me one thing (what action you should take?) drawing this card means that things will get better soon, and that your hopes and dreams will help you to aim forward. There is a "deep guiding" intuition and the advice here is to “look inside” for answers. What is your inner voice telling you? This card also shows that things will be slow to come to life.

If you want to speed up the situation then you need to be positive, but accept that things will take time. The main point here is to “go with the flow” do not make things unnecessary and eventually things will happen. There is a danger to want to push a relationship so it is perfect, and trying to create an “ideal” relationship. Something that you have dreamed of all your life but you need to focus on the here and now. Be honest, pour love without any expectations just be who you are. Give yourself to others and do not withhold anything and shine like the star. 

The Star As Friendship Or Family

This star symbolizes friendship and family, as it radiates in  moments of joy. It may be found in a late night conversation or a shared memory from childhood - just when we need it most, the star is there to guide our path. Each moment, every true friendship brings us closer to unlocking all that life has to offer us, no matter how lonely or isolated we might feel; for when our stars align in friendship or family, a new world will open up before us.

The Star Rervesed Meaning

The star in reversed is a less than a positive card, but before you give up all hope understand that even negative cards or positions are without merit. The Star card emphasizes that based on your current path unwanted changes are coming in one or more areas of your life and that you either need to prepare yourself or take steps to correct the current path that you are on. You are likely to find that you are not adapting to change well, are overly sensitive to criticism, or on edge recently. It is time for you to look at the areas in which things are no longer working for you. Once you identify the things that are causing your unhappiness you need to take steps to remove them from your life. Usually it is time for you to make the needed changes by leaving an unhealthy relationship or workplace. The first step is often the hardest but most rewarding.

When the stars align and reverse themselves, it's like an unexpected opportunity to move forward. It can be a source of inspiration, and a cause to pull focus onto something positive. Instead of looking backwards and dwelling on the tower before, it can be a reminder that there's always something greater out there. Even in the darkest times, stars still seem to shine brightly and offer a voice of hope and courage. Though the stars may be reversed right now, they reveal paths to future realms that many never thought were possible before.

Love and Romance - The Star Reversed

Even when the star is reversed in love and romance, it can carry love; like a star of promises scattered in the night sky. When love is out of balance or stagnates, a reversal provides a unique opportunity. It can guide lovers in the right direction. I always feel when I see this in a reversed reading we are pulled towards that twist or turn in love which can provide insight into creative solutions and inner growth allowing our hearts to expand greater than ever before. This reversed star's beauty radiates throughout each situationship or difficult moment, a reminder that no matter what happens it means love will shine bright again.

Family and Home - The Star Reversed

When the Star reversed cards appears in a reading regarding your family or friends, it reminds us to tap into this source of love even during difficult times. Good family life often awaits when you draw this card for family and home. This is about the beauty of creation this is about seeing things that are amazing. This is about your own place. This card means you are special, and trust me you are special. Maybe you make different decisions from exhaustion than you would from stillness. Discover the difference before the difference finds you.

Work and Finances - The Star Reversed

This is reversed so it looks awful, but I want you to know this is a "growing" time for money right now. If this card comes up reversed it means that things are not empty, but you have still got to work hard. Whether you believe in god or not, this is a chance to remember we are the same thing right now. This card is asking you why you stopped reaching for it. 

Health and Wellness - The Star Reversed

The Star Reversed is an invitation to visit your inner world, discovering what disrupts your peace and how you can meaningfully address it. Amid the joys of life, a wake-up call inviting us to open up to a healthier way of being is always welcomed. This is not just about eating right or finally hitting the gym - wellness goes beyond getting ourselves in physical shape. True health and wellness is an effort that touches our spirits and nurtures our minds. Taking moments for self-care and paying attention to our mental state are essential, journeying inward without judgement, kindness towards oneself being the core goal at hand.

Personal Spirituality - The Star Reversed

This reversed Star has caught you sitting here and not really focusing on YOU - wondering why it isn't enough. Because it isn't enough, it does not feel like enough. So what do you do with what you know? And who are you actually helping? Real spiritual work (the work that changes you) is taking what you know about yourself and walking it out into a world where it's uncomfortably necessary and needed most.

Over thousands of years people have looked at the night sky terrified and hopeful at the same time-and always ended up on hope. That is what the Star's about. Not a guarantee. Not a promise it will work out fine. Just this: There is light, it's real, and it has not gone out. Hold that. And then do something with it.
