The Star has the number 17, which can be reduced to number 8 and refers to the Strength card and to rebirth. The Star symbolizes good luck, renewal and beneficial energies flowing in. When this card appears in a reading, it is a very good sign - especially in the future position. It indicates positive energies and a change for the better.

If you have been wishing for something to happen regarding love, its a good sign of your wish coming true. For singles the Star can indicate that now is a promising time to find the right partner.

As Feelings
​
If you ask how someone feels for you, Star can indicate that the person in question feels very optimistic. They might feel as if a wish is coming true for them. They might think that they are meant to be with you, and feel strangely connected to you. Another interpretation is, that you make them feel alive. They could even have the feeling of being healed by you. The energies you have to offer might be helpful to them. But it could also be the other way around. They might feel happy to help and support you. They might feel like you need something, that they can give to you.
​
​
Negative or reversed Meaning
​
If the Star represents a negative aspect, it can indicate that you feel hopeless. You might feel like luck is not on your side at the moment. Maybe you have waited for some time for the fullfillment of a wish and you start to question if it will ever happen. Be sure that the universe is at your side, even in times when things don't seem to go as planned. It can also indicate that you are in a state of exhaustion and need to take care of yourself to restore your mental and physical health.
