What does The Star tarot card mean?

In love, The Star points to healing and restored faith, whether that means recovering from heartbreak, rebuilding trust in a relationship, or finally feeling open to love again after a period of hurt. It is less about passion and more about peace returning to your heart.
What does The Star reversed mean in tarot?
