No providing me with any extra details at this stage should not be necessary and even would not I feel be very helpful, as it could potentially lead the reading in a certain direction,
based purely on my assumptions. We should I suggest allow the cards to speak for themselves, as to what is felt is most likely going on here?
The Tarot card called
THE STAR is normally interpreted to mean that things are really looking very positive for the future and that everything is looking decidedly rosy in one's personal and/or working relationships with others. But as with most of the cards in the Tarot this one also has several different and subtle shades or layers of meaning.
I do get with this particular card that whatever is going on right now which is puzzling you is most likely to involve either one or more human beings other than of course yourself. Someone with whom you are in a relationship (including but not necessarily of a romantic nature is either doing or saying things about you behind your back and is not being honest with you about his or her true intentions.
I do not know whether you are a reader yourself or are familiar with this card, but on the face of it a naked woman kneeling at the side of a pool is slowly pouring liquid (presumably water) from a jug or pitcher onto the surface of the water in the pool. As it is poured onto the water's surface, concentric waves are formed which radiate out from a central point equally in all directions towards the shore.
So there are several I believe alternative ways of reading this card within the context of your question.
One would be that the liquid in the container is not water as I first thought it must be. See what I mean about the possible danger of me jumping prematurely to what could in reality be a false assumption?
Pouring oil on troubled waters is a commonly used visual metaphor for bringing calm into a situation (especially a relationship between two or more people) which is by it's very nature frequently troubled or disturbed, when viewed only from the surface.
So you could I suppose based upon this image be seeing problems in your relationship with this person or with these people which are either nothing near as serious as your mind is imagining them to be. The water's surface or relationship only appears disturbed or in trouble when actually it is no more so than any other human relationship usually is.
I am not going to go so far out on a limb to tell you that there are no conflicts or no reasons whatsoever for you to feel concerned about this particular person and what they are or are not doing when you are not looking, but my considered advice would be to first obtain some solid physical evidence of their alleged betrayal, before you begin accusing them of something they may have or not have done (this is not very clear from this one isolated reading), and end up with egg on your face wishing you could take back those words which you said in anger and haste, and which you may now live to regret ever saying.
Check things out carefully in the cold light of day instead of permitting your negative imagination as to what might possibly be going on around you get the better of your normally good judgement in such sensitive matters. Look more deeply below the surface, in order to get a little closer to the truth of the issue?
Water itself is either associated with our spiritual nature or on the other hand it is thought to symbolise our overall emotional state at that time. If the surface is calm and undisturbed on average, then this means that we are also calm and at peace within ourselves. In contrast when the water is fast flowing, choppy and perhaps cloudy or dirty in appearance then this obviously means that one or more significant emotional conflicts and upsets are brewing deeper down where they are not easily reached by normal methods.
You may or may not decide to enlist the use of a qualified professional relationship counsellor, or if it is related to what is happening where you work your supervisor or boss to help you get through this dark night of your soul, where every shadow takes on a sinister meaning in your mind. Of course unless the other person or persons is or are both able and willing to cooperate with you and go along with you to discuss this in a mature and balanced manner then you probably have an uphill battle on your hands, even to reach a mutually satisfying compromise where each of you at least gets some of all the things you originally wanted out of it.
Because of the wide and diverse range of situations to which this card could be applied, I unfortunately cannot be any more precise or helpful in assisting you with sorting this out. But I can I feel confidently say that if you are either entirely or to a large extent successful at getting this relationship back on track once again by whatever means are available to you in your local area, then I believe that it will endure essentially anything you or life can possibly throw at it in the future. Your relationship(s) will then be to a degree "trouble proofed"?
Many blessings are now winging their way from me, heading in your general direction,
