The Star Reversed Tarot Card Meaning
General Interpretation
Getting The Star reversed in a reading alludes to disillusionment, lost hope or a feeling of being emotionally or spiritually alienated. Whereas The Star upright speaks to rejuvenation, hope and healing, in the reversed position it suggests discouragement and doubt. This card commonly shows up when you’re questioning your life path or struggling to feel your lot will improve in life. You may be feeling unseen or unsupported by the world around you, and abandoned by the deity you worship. The Star reversed can also suggest delayed healing or a creative block. But not all is lost, it’s just obscured. Reconnecting with your purpose and nurturing yourself spiritually and emotionally can help restore your sense of hope.
The Star Reversed Love and Relationships
Getting The Star reversed as a single person asking about love suggests lost faith in finding true love. You may be feeling disheartened and like you want to give up, as if genuine romance won’t ever make it’s way to you. This card could also point to a loss of self-esteem and confidence, which can make it harder to attract the kind of relationship you want. Take the time to heal and reconnect with your self.
Getting The Star reversed when asking about a new or potential relationship speaks to wounds that are still healing. One of you may be in this relationship believing that things won’t be anymore different than they were in the past. One or both of you may be carrying abandonment wounds into this connection, believing rejection is inevitable. Alternatively, you may be drawn to someone who inspires you but is emotionally unavailable or narcissistic.
Getting The Star reversed when asking about your current relationship suggests there could be a loss of intimacy or connection that has one or both of you feeling distant from the other. The relationship may feel like it’s on survival mode, rather than thriving mode. This card suggests no more faking that things are okay. You can rebuild the connection, but it requires radical honesty from the both of you.
The Star in the reversed position when asking about your ex suggests the dream you had of this person has been dashed. You may have hoped for marriage, children or building a life together. It’s that loss of potential, rather than the person themselves, that’s left you grieving. You’re starting to heal, but slowly. Sometimes the “what ifs” hurt more than the loss of the actual relationship itself.
The Star reversed when asking about your crush suggests you may feel like you’re reaching out for someone who’s emotionally unavailable. You may be projecting an idea onto this person that may not line up with reality. Don’t chase illusions that may not be realistic, especially if this person cannot meet you where you’re at emotionally. It’s important to take a step back and re-center yourself.
Getting The Star reversed when asking about your child suggests your child may have lost their “spark” or their sense of confidence. They may not be showing you this outwardly, but they need unconditional encouragement, connection and inspiration. It’s important to gently guide your child through this phase until they can find that spark again.
Getting The Star reversed when asking about your current friendship suggests this friendship may be in dire need of renewal or healing. One or both of you may be disillusioned with the other, or sense that the connection you share has lost its spark. One of you may be feeling disappointed in the other, disconnected, and emotionally drained. In reverse, The Star calls for radical honesty with each other if this friendship hopes to heal itself.
The Star reversed when asking about a former friend suggests this friendship may have, at one point, brought joy, inspiration, and shared dreams. Now it’s lost to betrayal, slowly drifting apart and disillusionment. You may still be carrying an unspoken sadness over what could have been. It’s important to take the time to mourn what was lost, as this person meant a great deal to you at one point.
The Star reversed when asking about an enemy suggests this person may have had a profound impact on you. They may have diminished your self-esteem or tried to undercut your self-belief. The Star in the reversed is a gentle reminder to not let this person define who you are. Take the time to rediscover yourself and reclaim your spark–preferably as far away from this person as possible.
The Star Reversed Work and Finances
Getting The Star reversed when asking about a potential career or new job idea suggests you may have thought about this path with passion at first, but now you’re feeling apathetic and perhaps like it’ll never work out. The Star in this position is a gentle reminder that it’s not hopeless, but you need to reconnect with why you wanted to go down this road in the first place. Take away ego and fear and re-align with your true intentions.
Getting The Star reversed when asking about your current job or career suggests that your work may be feeling pointless and emotionally draining. Take the reversed Star as a cosmic nudge that perhaps this isn’t your calling any longer. It’s not a failure on your part, but a signal that you’re being called somewhere more aligned with your life purpose. You may feel stuck at this job but it’s not forever.
Looking to start a new business? Getting The Star reversed when asking about a potential business idea is a signal that you may have lost your passion and sense of mission in this plan. You may be wanting to start this business from pressure rather than purpose. Are you desperate for money, rather than picking a business plan that resonates with your values? Your best ideas come from your life’s purpose, not outer noise.
The Star reversed when asking about your current business suggests you may feel your efforts are not paying off, or that potential customers are simply ignoring you. Take a moment to ask if you still have passion for this business, or are you running it simply to survive? Sometimes when we are not working toward something we’re passionate about, our business suffers.
Getting The Star reversed when asking about your money and finances suggests a sense of hopelessness. Like no matter what you do, it’s not enough to get you where you need to be financially. The Star reversed here is a message to heal your relationship with money. Stop defining your worth by how much material goods you have. You can get where you need to go, but your aspirations have to be realistic.
The Star Reversed Pregnancy
The Star reversed when asking about a possible pregnancy indicates feelings of doubt or uncertainty when it comes to pregnancy. If you’re wondering whether you’re pregnant right now, the answer is likely no. The Star reversed suggests a sense of helplessness with each passing cycle that doesn’t result in pregnancy. It’s important to seek medical advice if that’s the case, as your primary care physician can help indicate what issues there are, if any.
If you are currently pregnant, The Star reversed suggests a lack of optimism or emotional exhaustion. You may be feeling overwhelmed or struggling to trust in your care providers or even that you’ll have a healthy pregnancy. It’s important to trust the process and believe that everything will work out.
