The Star- Tarot Happy Card in Major Arcana

Hi everyone,

today is the Star tarot  trump "happy" card up for review. I have been working 2 jobs and it was almost impossible to find the time to write more card reviews. However, one of the jobs was a project based only so now that is finished expect that I will post more often.

The Star card is a wonderful card and following the Tower card it is like the sunshine that always comes up after a storm. Unfortunately the series of tarot trump "unhappy" cards is NOT over yet, so enjoy this card for now, while you can.
Please find below the general interpretations for this card from a positive and negative outlook as seen by the famous tarotists (Mary K Greer, Rachel Pollack, John Magiapane and Anthony Louis, etc):

The Star

Overview:
After the rough times encountered with the Tower card, we regain our peace and freedom with the Star card. Now you are finally able to let go and be yourself and you receive the recognition you deserve. The Star sign can also represent a gift or that you will receive the aid you seek.
The Star is ruled by Aquarius, meaning that you can be involved in healing of the environment/ renewable resources, science or computer science, natural medicine or astrology/ astronomy. In relationships the Star suggests that you are independent or in an “unusual” relationship.

Conflicts:

In challenges position the Star can mean that you think that you may lack beauty or talent/ clarity and vision or focus. In the situation above the Star indicates: low self-esteem problems or that you have an unattainable goal (such as “finding the perfect soul-mate”) or just pessimism/ a disappointment or that you reject spiritual guidance.  From a negative perspective the Star represents “loss/ theft or abandonment”.

Solution:

The Star in this position means great hope and faith, fulfilled expectations, bright future, good fortune/ favourable omens, protection and/ or inspiration. You will live up to your highest potential, make new friends and you will receive the aid you need.
As people the Star can be a guardian angel, a child, a young woman and those who give out help. The Star is asking the Querent to search for his/ her special talent.
Health wise, the Star dissipates all negative thoughts and calms the nervous system, your  general health will improve.

In the picture above the tarot Star trump card in four of the decks that I own, listed in the order of my personal preference: #1 The Tarot of Jane Austen, #2 The Tarot of the Celtic Faeries, #3 Nicoletta Ceccoli's Tarot and #4 The Dark Grimoire Tarot.

One note, Rachel Pollack is not great at giving interpretations but she is very "historical" will tell you what the card means in the old, traditional packs and will bring in mythology and biblical stories associated with the cards.
