The Star as a Tarot Birth Card

You carry a gentle optimism and a gift for seeing possibility. People may find you calming, and you are often drawn to ideas, causes or art that point toward something better.

As a personality card, The Star appears when your digit total is 17. Its soul card is Strength.

The Star does not appear as a soul card, since soul cards are single digits (1 to 9). It can still be your soul card if your personality number is itself a single digit.
