The Star Yes or No: how should you read it?

The Star generally leans "Yes" in a yes/no spread—forward movement or a green light as symbolic reflection, not a guaranteed outcome. Pair that lean with the upright or reversed meaning instead of redrawing until you like the answer. PullTarot treats yes/no pulls as entertainment for US and Canadian readers, not medical, legal, or financial advice.
