The Star
Hope, guidance, and a wish being answered.
Positive meaning
A clear star is a promise: hope is justified, the path is guided, and a long-held wish is closer than it appears. Five points suggest health and happiness; a bright star at the rim signals recognition or fame in a small circle.
Warning or shadow meaning
A faint or fragmented star warns that your hope rests on shaky ground — check the assumptions behind a current plan.
Position in the cup
Cluster of stars: a lucky period arriving. Star near the handle: guidance in a personal matter. Star at the bottom: your true north being restored after doubt.
