✦ Upright
The Star upright carries the energy of Hope, faith, purpose. As one of the 22 Major Arcana cards, it marks a significant moment — a theme that runs deep in your current path. When this card appears in a reading, Wooly sees it as an invitation to embrace what is emerging rather than resist it.
↓ Reversed
The Star reversed points to Lack of faith, despair, disconnection. Wooly never reads reversed cards as bad omens — instead, he sees them as energy turned inward, asking for deeper attention. Something that wants to move is currently blocked. The question to sit with: what would shift if you stopped resisting?
