The Star, corresponding with the Zodiac sign Aquarius, is a beacon of positive expectations, inspiration, and renewal in the Tarot. The Star as feelings signifies optimism, spiritual connection, and hopes for a brighter future. In love and relationship Tarot readings, The Star represents healing, growth, and the potential for deeply meaningful connections. In the system of correspondences I use, The Star corresponds with the Angel of Grace.

The Star as Feelings of a Love Interest (Upright)
When The Star appears upright in a love reading, it suggests that your love interest feels hopeful and optimistic about your relationship. They see great potential in your connection and feel a sense of renewal and inspiration when they’re with you. This aligns them with the intimacy component in Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love, as they likely feel a strong emotional bond and closeness to you. Your love interest may also feel:
- A sense of spiritual connection with you
- Inspired to be their best self in your presence
- Grateful for the healing and growth you’ve brought into their life
- Excited about the future possibilities of your relationship
The Star as Feelings when Reversed or Ill-dignified
When The Star is reversed or ill-dignified, it can indicate that your love interest is experiencing doubt, disconnection, or a loss of faith in the relationship. They may be struggling with self-esteem issues or feeling overwhelmed by past relationship traumas. They might be reassessing their commitment and satisfaction levels in the relationship.
In this context, your love interest might be feeling:
- Disconnected from their inner guidance
- Uncertain about the future of the relationship
- Struggling to maintain hope or optimism
- Overwhelmed by negative thoughts or past experiences
The Star When You Are Single and Looking
For those who are single, The Star encourages you to focus on self-love and personal growth. This period of singlehood is an opportunity to heal from past relationships and cultivate a strong sense of self. The Star reminds you that by radiating your authentic self, you naturally attract compatible partners. You might also wish to approach relationships more from the point of view of ‘let’s be friends’ to see if something grows from that.
The Star As Your Attachment Style in the Relationship
The Star as your attachment style suggests a secure and optimistic approach to love. You likely have a healthy balance of independence and intimacy, aligning with the secure attachment style. You’re open to emotional connection while maintaining your individuality.
The Star As the Attachment Style of Your Love Interest
If The Star represents your love interest’s attachment style, they likely approach relationships with hope and openness. They may also have a secure attachment style, valuing both intimacy and independence. They’re likely to communicate openly and work towards creating a balanced, fulfilling relationship.
The Star As the Energetic Connection
The Star signifies a harmonious and inspiring energetic connection. Your relationship may have a spiritual quality, with both partners feeling uplifted and renewed through their interaction. In terms of Lee’s Color Wheel Theory of Love, this aligns with “Agape,” characterised by selfless, all-encompassing love.
The Star As the Potential Outcome
As a potential outcome, The Star promises healing, growth, and renewed hope in the relationship. It suggests that by working through challenges together, you can create a stronger, more fulfilling partnership. This outcome resonates with the Social Exchange Theory, where both partners perceive the relationship as equitable and mutually beneficial.
The Star in a Relationship Breakdown
Even in a relationship breakdown, The Star offers hope for healing and personal growth. In terms of Duck’s Phase Model of Relationship Breakdown, it aligns with the “resurrection” phase, where individuals learn from the experience and move forward with newfound wisdom and self-awareness.
