November 2022 Musings... 28th November 2022…Welcome back to my cosy corner of the internet. I’m Mayastar, and 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 them at the time their guidance is most relevant to you; so please take only what resonates with you, and leave the rest behind. My musings are intended to inspire, uplift and guide you on your healing journey. I’ve chosen The Wild Unknown Tarot for our etheric explorations today. Nature-based decks always seem to resonate more deeply with me over the darker half of the year & this deck includes many trees and animal characters that express some of the wilder aspects of the traditional archetypes. I’m sure this deck will be a powerful translator of the numinous for us today. 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 week for the purpose of progressing the spiritual journey & pursuing the path to wholeness is reflected in The Sun. The Sun brings simple joys, smooths the route to success & inspires your spirit to shine! This energy is most easily accessed when we let go of tendencies to judgement, cynicism or anxiety. It reflects our childlike exuberance & sense of wonder & invites us to explore the world with curiosity & high hopes. Whatever’s been stressing you, set it aside for this week & find out if focusing on the bright side brings you closer to your goals. Optimism is a choice – and this week, it’s the perfect way to tap into progressive & prosperous paths that will nourish your soul & put a smile on your face. The second card identifies the potential opposition we may face in pursuit of the promises of the first card. And this week the excellent news is that no significant oppositional energy is anticipated! Rather, the presence of the Ace of Wands in this position further emphasises the importance & transformational aspects of the first card. The Ace of Wands is about taking action, putting your money where your mouth is & pursuing your goals with passion & purpose. This card indicates that if you choose to tap into the enthusiasm of the Sun energy, you’ll discover new ways to grow & express your soul in your life for a more enriching & successful experience. 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.

I’m Mayastar, and 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 them at the time their guidance is most relevant to you; so please take only what resonates with you, and leave the rest behind. My musings are intended to inspire, uplift and guide you on your healing journey. I’ve chosen the Crow Tarot for our medium today. This deck features the traditional symbolism with a twist: all of the characters featured are crows! It creates some interesting new interpretations of the tarot archetypes & perfectly suits the darker half of the year. I’m sure these cards will be a powerful translator of the numinous for us today. 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 week for the purpose of progressing the spiritual journey & pursuing the path to wholeness is reflected in the 4 of Swords. This card recommends us to set aside time for rest & relaxation this week. It’s the perfect energetic opportunity for integrating past experiences – especially recent causes of stress or upset. Create an energetic space for yourself to breathe & find your grounding this week by using your favourite energy healing techniques, meditations & spiritual practices. Focusing on your self-care brings healing to yourself & those around you. The second card identifies the potential opposition we may face in pursuit of the promises of the first card. And this week this comes in the form of the 3 of Swords. This can be a challenging card but in this position, it’s a caution against dwelling on the downsides or focusing too much on the details of things that have already passed. While attending to self-care, sometimes negative thoughts or repetitive patterns of cynicism or catastrophizing can be recognised & resolved. The presence of the 3 of Swords in this position reminds us that facing our emotional reality doesn’t mean getting stuck in those feelings. If the emotions are too overwhelming or unbalanced, bring your attention back to the present. When you’re grounded in the present, you naturally move away from being grounding in the past.

These readings are not aimed at any particular person; and you are meant to them at the time their guidance is most relevant to you; so please take only what resonates with you, and leave the rest behind. My musings are intended to inspire, uplift and guide you on your healing journey. I’ve chosen the Moonchild Tarot for our medium today. This deck is both delicate & deep. The soft palette & ethereal scenes are magickal. I’m always drawn to these cards when I’m working closely with Pleiadian & Lemurian energy – and if you subscribe to the Mayastar newsletter you’ll notice the latest special offers have also reflected these starseeded energies!

Are your words & deeds aligned with your highest ideals? This week, you need to make sure they are because opportunities for manifesting miracles are in the offing! Capitalize on this potent & progressive energy current by standing, speaking & acting from a place of power. Other people & events may have some effect on you, but they can’t have more of an effect on you than you have on yourself! The second card identifies the potential opposition we may face in pursuit of the promises of the first card. And this week this comes in the form of the 10 of Swords. The 10 of Swords can reflect a point of despair – but it can also reflect a point of “being done” in a more positive sense. It’s the point of finally drawing a line under everything after a period of stress or upset. It’s about saying “that’s that” & then moving on without looking back. In this position, this card could indicate it’s time to get over yourself & move beyond restrictive thoughts you’ve invested way too much time & energy into. If that sounds like you, it’s time to stop feeding your fears & limitations so you can put your energy to better use! And now we turn to the daily cards for the week-ahead.
