Summary:
The stars have always been guides for navigators; points of reference and direction. They influence man from far away, shining like points of light on a serene night. For this reason, they are symbols of hope. The ability to look towards infinity and towards the sky, and to to gather - even if only for a moment - all of the infinite possibilities that are opened before us. Even if stars do not seem of great use as such, they nevertheless provide direction. They do not help us move towards our objective but they help us understand what we are wondering and why. They are also the card of beauty, of innocence and of purity, because there are the characteristics of the soul that contemplates infinity and knows how to replenish, to have hope, joy, and security. Watching the stars is like falling in love.
The ancients used the stars to navigate unknown waters and the archetype of the Star provides you with your own personal shining light that will allow you to navigate successfully through life. When you draw this card, your powers of self-expression are at their highest. You feel in touch with universal energy and there is hope and belief in the future.
In the wake of the Tower's violent eruption, you're inspired to reach for your highest potential. You experience order and peace.

You experience a profound peace that springs from the unconscious. You're doing what you were born to do.
Throughout history, the stars have awed and inspired humans. Being constant, eternal, ethereal, and unattainable, they embody a primal concept of the divinity of the Universe and inspire a quiet and subtle reverence. The idea of a guiding star is common in human folklore, and it lends various meanings to this card, such as inspiration, divine guidance, faith, optimism, and - especially - hope. These meanings, however, carry an implicit warning not to get lost in hopes and dreams, for at some point we have to come back down to earth and take action if we want to be able to manifest those dreams.
This card is also about the wisdom of hope. Hope should have some basis in reality or it will degenerate into delusion, which is the providence of the next card, the Moon. Reasonable hopes are wise for they lift us up and strengthen us, but even when our hopes are reasonable we must be careful with them. If we use them as an excuse to avoid taking action to help ourselves, then even those hopes may be no more than an opiate.
