Messages for the Collective

Inspiration to enhance your healing journey

& spiritual development

__________________________________ April 2022 Musings... youtube 25th April 2022…Welcome back to my cosy corner of the internet. Here, I select a tarot deck each week from my extensive collection to elucidate the ethers, and scry the shifting celestial tides on behalf of the collective. These readings are not aimed at any particular person; and you are meant to find these musings at the time their guidance is most relevant to you; so please take only what resonates with you, and leave the rest behind. My words are intended to inspire, uplift and guide you on your healing journey. If you like what you find here, please share this page with your friends. One good deed deserves another – and because your engagement really helps me, if you share this page today, I hope and intend that you will be blessed with bountiful beneficence this week. Today, I’ve chosen the Starlight Tarot for our mystical meanderings. This deck is evocative & has a very shamanic energy. I’m sure it will be a powerful translator of the numinous for us. So, sit back, relax your shoulders, take a sip of chamomile tea, exhale deeply, and let’s explore… The dominant energetic influence we can tap into over the coming days for the purpose of progressing the spiritual path & pursuing wholeness is reflected in the card of 2 of Cups. This card represents spiritually nurturing connections on an emotional or spiritual level. The dolphins on the card are reminiscent of child-like playfulness, curiosity & unconditional love. This card is often about therapy & healing – which may involve connection with a soul-mate, spiritual guide or close friend. But equally, it can represent our connection to the inner- child & our internal communication. The presence of this card in this position indicates opportunities for deep healing over the coming week. And for those pursuing their healing journey, working with animal energies, particularly dolphin energy, could be a powerful way to enhance your spiritual practice in the coming days. Consider creating a spiritual safe-space for your healing work with a sacred bathing ritual; you can find inspiration for creating your own soul-nourishing self-care session in the Rose Quartz Bath Sanctuary article on the Mayastar website. And if you work with Dolphin Rainbow Chakra Healing, Dolphin Heart Reiki, or Animal Medicine Empowerments, connecting with Dolphin energy this week could manifest miracles! The second card looks at the potential opposition we may face in pursuing the promises of the first card. And the good news is, no significant oppositional or restrictive energetic currents are anticipated this week! The Empress is the Goddess of Love & she bestows her blessings on those pursuing all forms of spiritual love. She is the goddess of hearth & home, as well as healing – so pursue activities that make you feel connected, cared-for & comfortable. Crafts & creative projects can help you to disconnect from your thoughts. Contemplation & compassion are key. And now we turn to the daily cards for the week-ahead. These cards depict & define the archetypal energetic influences we can harness to optimise our personal power & increase our inspiration in the coming days.

Here, I select a tarot deck each week from my extensive collection to elucidate the ethers, and scry the shifting celestial tides on behalf of the collective. These readings are not aimed at any particular person; and you are meant to find these musings at the time their guidance is most relevant to you; so please take only what resonates with you, and leave the rest behind.

Today, I’ve chosen the Anima Mundi Tarot for our mystical meanderings. This animal- based deck has depth & magick & I’m sure it will be a powerful translator of the numinous for us. So, sit back, relax your shoulders, take a sip of chamomile tea, exhale deeply, and let’s explore… The dominant energetic influence we can tap into over the coming days for the purpose of progressing the spiritual path & pursuing wholeness is reflected in the card of the Hierophant. This card represents guiding ancestral spirits & supportive spiritual beings from the natural world that can help us pursue our healing path. The Hierophant can also be a person – someone who imparts wisdom & provides teaching, encouragement or guidance. This card recommends us to be remain open to learning new things & accepting the support of the spiritual beings present in our lives. In this particular deck, the Hierophant has a very shamanic energy. He reminds us to get outside & into the natural world to connect with nature’s support network. Walking or spending time in quiet contemplation outside can help you to naturally ground yourself. Be open to the promptings & guidance of the spiritual- beings and spiritual friends around you. They may have important insights for you this week. The second card identifies any opposition that might block us from attaining the promises of the first card. And this week, this comes in the form of the 4 of Cups. This is not necessarily a negative card, but in this position, we’re looking at the shadow-aspect of the archetype. This card cautions us to guard against apathy and ingratitude. Not recognising our blessings can cause us to focus too much on what we lack. That kind of focus can prevent us from recognising the supportive healing energies and opportunities the Universe presents to us. So be careful not to fall into the trap of negative thinking this week. And now we turn to the daily cards for the week-ahead. These cards depict & define the archetypal energetic influences we can harness to optimise our personal power & increase our inspiration in the coming days.

Stay in your lane so that distractions don’t dampen your determination. Your to- do list faces being cut down to size with the energy & efficiency you’re bringing to the mix. The Universe reminds you that discipline & doggedness demonstrate your dominance. Master your life by working smart, not hard. Planning makes your journey smoother & shorter.

Here, I select a tarot deck each week from my extensive collection, to elucidate the ethers & scry the shifting celestial tides on behalf of the collective. These readings aren’t aimed at any particular person & are meant to be found when the messages are most pertinent to you. My words are intended to uplift & inspire you on your spiritual journey. Please take only what resonates with you, & leave the rest behind. If you like what you find here, please share this page with your friends. Life at Mayastar has settled down after the extra workload I handled last year with the redevelopment of the Mayastar, Maya Magickal and Maya Muses websites. I’ve spent a lot of time enjoying the sunshine & watching Alfie the puppy play, grow & bond with his brother and sisters. It’s been a radical change of pace compared to this time last year and I’m thoroughly enjoying it. I feel that the work ethic that got so much done in 2021 stood me in good stead to pursue more creative, magickal & majestic ambitions once the essential work was complete. I’ve maintained that momentum but directed the energy into my artwork, magick, healing & writing – and this year’s going so beautifully so far that it’s definitely in with a chance of being one of the best years of my life! Today, I’ve chosen the Traditional Manga Tarot as our vehicle of clarification. So sit back, relax your shoulders, take a sip of chamomile tea, exhale deeply…and, let’s explore… The dominant energetic influence we can tap into this week for the purpose of progressing the healing journey & supporting us in our spiritual growth is reflected in the Page of Cups. Tune into the whispers of your heart this week. The Universe is sharing important guidance & inspiration with you through symbols, sacred numbers & dreams. This week, you may be productive & practical while maintaining your connection with the sacred. You have one foot in the world of the conscious, and one playfully splashing in the waters of the unconscious mind. It’s important to stay grounded in order to bring through messages & put them into action. Be aware of your balance. If you feel anxious, emotional or find your mind racing, spend some time grounding yourself; if you feel uninspired or energetically blocked, spend some time exploring your imagination by daydreaming, writing poetry, or making something beautiful. And there’s excellent news when it comes to the potential opposition we may face this week: there is no negative, restrictive or oppressive energetic current in line to derail our plans! Rather, the 3 of Cups indicates opportunities for festivities, fun, frivolity & friends. Sharing the love is what it’s all about, so don’t keep your joy to yourself. Take every opportunity to enjoy yourself & express your gratitude for the things that bring you abundance, beauty & happiness this week. Where you focus your energy, things expand – so focus on only the things you want to see more of. And now we turn to the daily cards for the week-ahead. These cards identify the archetypes we can align with in order to harness opportunities to progress the healing journey & manifest the miraculous each day. Let’s explore… Monday 11th April 2022…9 of Pentacles…Appreciate the comfort & copious opulence in the offing today. This energy surrounds you like a sumptuous shawl of lushness, luxury & love. The Universe reminds you that every day is a special occasion! Being alive is a blessing worthy of acknowledgement & celebration. So enjoy that cake, dance like no-one’s watching & shine like the star you are! Tuesday 12th April 2022…6 of Cups…Give yourself the gift of light-heartedness by finding the funny side of things. Don’t take yourself so seriously! Indulge the inner child by doing something for the sheer enjoyment of it today. The Universe reminds you that your childhood innocence reflects the authenticity of your soul. Remember yourself by delighting in a day of dreams, distractions & delectation. Wednesday 13th April 2022…Ace of Swords…Flip the script by changing your mind, making an important decision, or seeing things in a new light. The clouds clear & clarity shines through. The Universe reminds you that inspiration & illumination can ignite your imagination in a moment. Stay receptive by maintaining your inner calm & keeping a cool head.

Manifest milk & honey miracles by putting your energy into the things that nourish your soul & inspire your passion. Your intention is what matters. The Universe reminds you that you are the creator of your own world. Don’t invest in pessimism when positivity produces prosperity & progress. Maintain your high ideals.

Make a wish because today the stars are aligned in your favour & magickal manifestations move you. The Universe reminds you that you are constantly connected & communing with the source of your soul; the nature of that source is pure love & limitless light. Shine on! Saturday 16th April 2022…The Lovers…You are a treasured Child of the Universe. The stardust sugared sweetness of your spirit shines through. The Universe reminds you that your heart is the centre of your world. Love is the power that underpins all of creation & today offers opportunities to experience the oneness of that Love. Affirm: “My heart beats in time with the heart of the Divine” Sunday 17th April 2022…Justice…Reflecting on the past dispassionately allows you to appreciate your power in a new way. Acknowledging the part you played in places you suffered helps to recognise opportunities for growth. The Universe reminds you that your sovereignty is sacred. Self-mastery begins by assessing & accepting reality. Create space in your life so you have room to grow & exceed the parameters of the past. This concludes today’s reading. I hope these words have inspired your mind, uplifted your heart & soothed your soul. Have a beautiful day, and come back soon for more mystical musings. 4th April 2022…Welcome back to Maya Muses! Every week, I select a tarot deck from my extensive collection to elucidate the etheric opportunities & interpret the shifting celestial tides. These readings are open to the collective & are meant to be found whenever the messages are appropriate to you. My words are intended to uplift & inspire; so always take only what resonates with you, and leave the rest behind. If you enjoy what you find here, please share this page with your friends. Today, I’ve chosen the Bonefire Tarot as our vehicle of clarification. So sit back, relax, take a sip of chamomile tea, and let’s explore… The dominant energetic influence we can tap into over the coming days, for the purpose of progressing the healing journey & path to enlightenment, is reflected in the 10 of Pentacles. This card indicates stability, prosperity & security are foremost. Take the time to enjoy your home, & really appreciate the nurturing environment you’ve created for yourself. Home is the environment in which we share love. Love for our family members, pets & friends. But also, love for ourselves. Look at the ways you express love & extend kindness to yourself through your home this week. The grounding meditation you can find on the Mayastar website would be a good healing practice to help you find balance & calm in the coming days.
