Complete Book of Tarot: When reversed, the Star card suggests that you are not feeling hopeful about a positive outcome. You may be suffering a crisis of faith or feeling beset by doubts that things will not work out in the end. Now is a time to assess your situation realistically and banish any false hopes or expectations based on illusion. Are you able to see the glass only as being half empty? Are you unable to recognize the guiding trail beneath your feet? Keep in mind the moral of Aesop’s fable: the gods help those who help themselves.

Reversed Cards: When I first started reading cards, I worked as a psychic on one of those 1-800 lines. To say it was an eye-opener is an understatement, but it was during this time that I learned the real meaning of the Ten of Swords in the blocked aspect. This card means it is over. Done, finished, never to be repeated. No matter how many times I explained this to some people, they just wouldn’t accept it or let go. There is something in your life that is done. It is over, and it is meant to be over and stay over. But you won’t let it be done, which means you are also blocking what is waiting to come to you once you drop the dead weight of the Ten of Swords.

Some tarot readers use the range of dates assigned to each card as an aid to judging the timing of events in a spread. (In this table: W = Wands, P = Pentacles, S = Swords, and C = Cups.)
