Life is not easy. In fact, it seems more often than not, it's quite hard. Bills are due, work is taxing, your partner has either just left (or you find yourself wishing they would), and the kids (if you have them), well, they're driving you crazy... and that's just the day to day! When tragedy strikes, things get even more complicated. Tempers flare, emotions somersault and it can seem as if the cruel hand of fate has taken hold of your destiny. In a worst case scenario, you may even feel hopeless--but when problems are mounting, that's one feeling that's only going to make things worse. So what to do? We looked to the Tarot for inspiration, and what it boils down to, according to the 17th card of the Major Arcana is this:
Whatever your situation, remember all hope is not lost.
When your reader turns over The Star, it indicates a light at the end of your tunnel and signifies that now, more than ever, you need to have faith. In other words, drawing The Star means there's hope… even if you don't realize it.
Sound naïve to you? It's not. In fact, it's incredibly realistic. Here's why:
The Star doesn't indicate any immediate or powerful change. Rather, it predicts hope and healing. It suggests that a positive outcome is possible and even plausible-but leaves it to you to find your way there-which is applicable to almost any situation. If you believe things can turn around and put your energy into making that happen, there is always hope.

Controlling the green-eyed monster!
It's no coincidence that this is also the card of spiritual insight. Not only is The Star known to be one of the most beautiful cards in the deck, it has a soothing and ethereal feel. Look within and you can find guidance. Have faith and you will be cared for by the universe.
Worried because you haven't gotten this card before in a reading? Don't! You don't have to wait or hope for The Star to come up in a reading to take insight from its meaning. The Tarot, like many other forms of divination is meant to give you life lessons as well as answers about current and upcoming situations. And if you can learn the lessons of The Star, you will be all the happier for it. Meditate on positivity. Know that you can get through this (and any other situation you encounter) and have faith that the universe will guide you-in beautiful ways you never could have expected.
Does this mean you can sit back and expect miracles? Of course not! Everyone needs help sometimes and stumbling blocks are normal. But if you can maintain clarity of vision as often as possible (or know when to turn to someone for assistance with that), you will find that the answers reveal themselves to you.
