17 - The Star

Card Seventeen

This card shows a young girl with one foot on land and one in the water, pouring water on land and in the water, returning to its source. There is also a huge star above her and more stars around it.

This card represents hope and a trust that if you put your wishes out to the universe (or God) they will come true for you.

This card tells us not to lose hope in our dreams - we have the power within us to succeed.
