Definition:

Much like the Morning Doji Star this pattern is a 3 candle reversal but instead of the turn being marked by a Doji, it is marked by a small body star that can close up or down.  The key is a small body and relatively short shadows which denote indecision.  The confirmation candle (body or shadows) may overlap the star but the first down candle should not.

 

Opposite: Evening Star
