The Star Tarot Card in Reverse Meaning

As The Star is a card of hope when pulled upright, in reverse it can speak to feeling hopeless. If you’ve been having a rough go of life, you may be feeling tapped out. The Star in reverse can be an urgent sign to pause and deploy self-care.

Although your circumstances may feel hopeless, The Star reversed tells you that your feelings don’t match the reality. Hope remains a possibility for you.

The Star, even in reverse, encourages you: although you may feel overwhelmed by the obstacles life has thrown at you, you have what it takes to make it through a crisis of faith. If you can reconnect with your sense of hope, things will begin to take a better turn for you.
