A little more about the card The Star...

The Star is the Tarot card number 17. In this card, we see a woman at the edge of a fountain holding two containers of water. She pours the contents into the earth to nourish it, continuing the cycle of fertility, representing renewal. The five bundles formed by the spilled water represent the five physical senses.

The seven minor stars have various symbolisms due to the importance of the number seven. One of them is the 7 main chakras of our body, which we need to open to maintain our main vital energies. One of the woman’s feet is in the water, which symbolizes intuition, while the other is on land, symbolizing stability, common sense, and practicality.

When the Star card appears in a reading is like a guide for everything to work out, i.e. it is like our guiding star. It indicates that after the period of turmoil brought about by the previous card, The Tower, there is relief and calm after the storm, as if harmony has finally been restored.
