Upright
After the shelf came down, she kneels at the basin and pours water again, one stream into the pool and one onto the dark earth, and nothing in her hurries. The Star is what comes after the Tower. The hope that didn't survive the storm was never the real one. This is the real one, the quiet kind that has nothing left to prove. You're allowed to feel all right again. The candle in the window isn't lying to you.
Reversed
Reversed, the stars are still up there but you can't find them, the night the small light went out, the voice that says it isn't coming back. The card doesn't argue with the dark. It only says the stars don't move; keep walking the part of the path where you can't see the sky.
In the imagery
By a still basin in the hush of the room a figure kneels, one knee on the earth, one foot in the water, pouring from two clay jugs, one into the pool, one onto the ground where it feeds five small runnels. Above her through the window hangs one large star and seven smaller, soft gold against deep green. A bird settles in the potted branch behind, and the herbs are growing again.
