Booklet Text
The Star depicts a stripper. It’s got a pair of some hot stripper shoes beneath a disco ball. The keywords are Hope and Success. This card is illustrated in this way because a lot of strippers are in the spotlight, so they’re like the star of the show. It’s also a throw-back to the naked lady in the pool as seen in other tarot decks. This card also serves as a reminder that there is hope. The stars are always there, whether we can see them or not. You can wish upon a star. So this is a bright light in the darkness. Maybe there are things we cannot see. When times seem harsh, we fail to notice the bright side of a situation. That’s what the star is for. You need to look on the bright side, or see the light ahead. Because it is there. It is always there. You just have to quit focusing on the darkness.
