The Star tarot card

"Hope isn't naive. It's your most radical act."

Six quick picks first, then your reading

On the card

Much like a real star, the star card is a guiding light from above that can help you when the way is unclear. The star card shows a woman connected to a stream surrounded by stars. Her connection to emotions, her own creativity and the divine are in sync. A very healing card after the disruption of the Tower before it

Upright
HopeInspirationRenewalSerenity

A guiding presence has come into your life (especially after a big upheaval like a breakup, a career change or a loss of faith). Let yourself heal from the traumas of your past and have faith and trust in the wisdom being provided to you. Let the path set by your own north star guide you forward

Reversed

You are in deep need of guidance, but aide is not on the horizon. The sky is cloudy and you are unsure of up from down. Do not panic (although I understand why you would), sometimes not knowing is just part of the process. Do the next right thing and trust that day will eventually come

Its place in the deck.

Major ArcanaCard 17
One of the 22 Major Arcana. They point to the large themes and turning points in a life, not the day to day. When one comes up, the reading is about something bigger than this week.
StageThe return
After the Fool, the Major Arcana run in three stages of seven: the outer world (1 to 7), the turn inward (8 to 14) and the return (15 to 21). This one is in the return: meeting what was buried, and coming back changed rather than fixed.

The Star for Aries in Self and Identity

The Initiator

Uranus works on a longer clock than Mars-ruled Aries is used to. Whatever this is, it will not resolve on Aries's preferred timeline. Upright, this is surfacing whether or not it was invited.

When reading about yourself through an Aries lens, the Star card says that you feel like your body is a machine to prove something with, a problem to outrun (or overcome), and the only thing you trust because it does what you tell it to. This has either made you physically strong and brave enough to try what others won't, or left you injured and angry at your own body for not cooperating with your will. You have been so focused on who you think you should be that you haven't checked in with who you actually are. The Aries blind spot in it is the feeling that nothing you do makes any difference, that you are not the center of the story.

In practice that can look like something you cannot un-see about yourself, or a season ending. Whatever form it takes, it is surfacing whether or not it was invited.
