The image

Under a large eight-pointed star, a woman kneels by a pool and pours water onto both the land and the water. A bird rests in a tree behind her. After the storm comes calm, healing and hope.

Upright meaning

In general

Hope returns. After a difficult period, this is a time of healing and quiet optimism; trust that things are moving in a good direction.

In love

Healing and renewed faith in love are indicated. Be open and authentic; the right connection feels peaceful, not anxious.

At work

Inspiration and a clear sense of purpose are guiding you. Your talents are noticed and the future looks promising.

With money

Finances are recovering. Stay hopeful, be generous where you can and keep moving toward your long-term goals.

Reversed meaning

In general

You may have lost faith or feel disconnected from your hopes. Reconnect with small things that inspire you; hope can be rebuilt.

In love

Disappointment may be making you guarded. Give yourself time to heal before deciding love is not for you.

At work

You may feel uninspired or doubt your path. Remind yourself why you started.

With money

Pessimism about money may be stopping you from acting. Take one positive, practical step.
