What they mean together
The Star brings the hope and The Sun makes it come true. Few tarot combinations are this positive. Wishes granted, joy, and feeling well.

A sincere, happy love. If you've been waiting on something, the answer is yes.
Career and money

An example
Suppose you ask whether a personal project you're excited about will work out, and The Star and The Sun appear. Tarot is rarely this clear. Yes, and happily. The Star says your intuition was on the right track, and The Sun says the result will be seen and you'll get credit for it. Show what you're doing, present it with confidence, and let people get to know it. Shine without apologizing. If congratulations or offers come your way, take them in stride. You've earned them.
By position in the spread
In the past
There was a happy time when a dream came true. Remembering it gives you back your faith in yourself.
In the present
Everything feels bright and hopeful. What you wished for is taking shape, so enjoy it.
In the future
Success and joy after holding on to hope. What you plant today with excitement will bear fruit.
If they come up reversed
If The Star is reversed, you doubt yourself and find it hard to believe in the good that's arriving. If The Sun is the reversed one, the joy is there, but a bit muted or delayed. Even with both reversed the trend is still positive, and all that's missing is your optimism. Check whether you're downplaying your wins out of fear they won't last.
Say yes to whatever lights you up.
