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.
Monday 28th November
2022…Temperance…Establish a bit of
equilibrium by scheduling yourself time for
rest & relaxation. Spiritual practices like
energy healing & meditation can help you to
balance your body & mind while inspiring
your spirit to shine through. The Universe
reminds you that you are a human-being,
not a human-doing; find yourself in moments
of inactivity & silence. Affirm: “My soul is a
source of tranquillity & triumph”
Tuesday 29th November 2022…Knight of
Swords…Consider your intentions & fix your
focus before you start today. You have the
momentum to make magick happen. Keep
your eyes on the prize & trust that your
highest hopes can materialize. Tune out
distractions by visualising the life of your
dreams. The Universe reminds you that
energy flows where your attention goes.
Affirm: “I manifest miracles, marvels &
magick”
Wednesday 30th November 2022…8 of
Pentacles…Boost your confidence by honing
your skills. Remind yourself of your abilities
by reflecting on past achievements & take
action today on developing those talents.
Believe in your ability to exceed your own
expectations & watch yourself blossom with
brilliance. The Universe reminds you that you
can leave your limitations behind by putting
your energy into levelling-up. Affirm: “I
choose progress. Today & every day”
Thursday 1st December 2022…Wheel of
Fortune…Today’s energetic shifts will refresh
& reinvigorate you. Staying grounded allows
you to adapt & advance in new ways. Open
yourself to new possibilities by letting go of
old judgements & resistance. The Universe
reminds you that you can trust in continuous
change: it is a process pregnant with
possibilities! Affirm: “All is well & all will be
well”
Friday 2nd December 2022…Page of
Swords…Your mind is primed for inspiration
to strike. Make space for the sacred &
sublime to manifest by spending some time
in silence. If over-thinking has cluttered your
mind, your meditations can bring you back
into a state of cool, calm clarity. The
Universe reminds you that your destiny is
defined by your decisions. Affirm: “Moment
by moment, I align with my magnificence”
Saturday 3rd December 2022…9 of
Pentacles…Healing happens when you move
closer to your authenticity today. Light-
centric forces support you & offer you
energetic encouragement from the side-lines.
Nurture yourself with nourishing food & self-
compassion. Your body is the sacred shrine
that houses your divine soul. The Universe
reminds you that pain is inevitable but
suffering is optional. Affirm: “I work towards
wellness & wisdom”
Sunday 4th December 2022…8 of
Swords…Open your eyes to the world that
exists beyond the bounds of your beliefs.
Move beyond the tyranny of trepidation by
mastering your mental state. Interrupt your
anxiety by reminding yourself that you can
consider your concerns without feeding
them. The Universe reminds you that
courage means feeling the fear and doing it
anyway! Affirm: “I leave behind my
limitations day, by day, by day”
21st 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 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.
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.
Monday 21st November 2022…Queen of
Pentacles…Relax & recognise the
demonstrations of prosperity & beauty
around you. You are Queen of the Castle
today & abundance flows from your fingertips
to weave a sumptuous mantle of
magnificence around you. The Universe
reminds you that taking pleasure in life is a
sacred ritual. Renew your spirit with a little
self-indulgence. Affirm: “Bountiful blessings
reside & abide”
Tuesday 22nd November 2022…6 of
Pentacles…Abundance surrounds you &
reflects past success. Appreciate your glow-
up! You have enough glitz, glamour &
greatness in your life to make you shine &
light up the lives of those around you. The
Universe reminds you that energy exchange
makes the world go round. Seek to share
your gifts with others today. Affirm: “My
heart sings & my soul smiles”
Wednesday 23rd November 2022…2 of
Swords…If you’ve been holding back or
sitting on the fence, it’s time to dissolve the
deadlock & make a decision today! Devise
your destiny & don’t be afraid to do things
differently. The Universe reminds you that
confidence in your divine self isn’t misplaced.
You have reserves of untapped potential
within. Affirm: “I align with progress &
prosper prolifically”
Thursday 24th November 2022…7 of
Swords… A break with convention & the
embracing of originality creates openings for
enrichment, enchantment & enjoyment
today! Don’t be afraid to rock the boat or
buck the trend because your eccentricity is
sacred. The Universe reminds you that
nobody in the world is better qualified to be
you than you are! Affirm: “I awaken to my
sacred splendour. I shine. I shine. I shine”
Friday 25th November 2022…Queen of
Cups…Opportunities for healing are found
when you centre yourself around calmness
today. Carve out some space for peace &
quiet. Indulge in a relaxing bath ritual &
surround yourself in a sumptuous mantle of
self-compassion. The Universe reminds you
that you are beloved, beautiful & blessed in
every moment. Don’t doubt your divinity
Child of the Universe. Affirm: “My life is in
flow & I flourish fruitfully”
Saturday 26th November 2022…King of
Pentacles…Tides of prosperity & progress
turn to create golden opportunities for
greatness in your life today! Pay attention to
the promptings of your intuition that reveal
the roads to a rich & resplendent life. The
Universe reminds you that true wealth is
reflected in the quality of your relationships -
including the one you have with yourself.
Affirm: “I am open to greater joy & joyful
greatness”
Sunday 27th November 2022…Knight of
Swords…Your spirit is inspired & urges you
towards your wildest ambitions! Channel
some of that energy into imagining how well
things could go by exploring your desires in
dazzling daydreams. The Universe reminds
you that he who dares, wins. Dare to
dream. Dare to deviate. Dare to do it
differently. You’re divinely defined! Affirm: “I
progress my path with courage & confidence”
14th November 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
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! I’m sure they 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
Magician. The Magician reminds you that you
are in the driving seat of your life. What you
say & how you act are the spells you cast to
create the life you desire. 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. These cards depict & define the
archetypal energetic influences we can
harness to optimise our personal power &
increase our inspiration in the coming days.
Monday 14th November 2022…2 of
Wands…Channelling your intentions into the
things that inspire your passion will progress
your path to success. Pave the way to a
fantastic future by adopting good habits &
learning something new today. The Universe
reminds you that your ideas are worthy of
your energy & your energy determines your
destiny. Affirm: “I align with audacity &
dance towards my dreams”
Tuesday 15th November 2022…2 of
Swords…Try not to be too rigid in your
thinking today. Evaluating the options
dispassionately brings clarity. Trust your
intuition to guide you & don’t procrastinate
for fear of making the wrong choice. Some of
your greatest insights have come from
mistakes! The Universe reminds you that you
can trust yourself to learn, change & grow.
Affirm: “I trust myself to exceed myself”
Wednesday 16th November 2022…Ace of
Swords…While spending time in meditation,
the clouds clear & new ideas shine through!
The Universe reminds you that the words
“Magick” and “Imagination” have the same
root. Garner greater magickal manifestations
in your life by writing down your impressions
to identify new ideas worth investigating.
Affirm: “I hold my magick, I hold my power.
I master this minute, this day, this hour”
Thursday 17th November 2022…The High
Priestess…Secret & sacred knowledge is held
within, so seek spiritual support through your
higher self during your meditations today.
The Universe reminds you that your intuition
& dreams communicate important messages,
but its in silence that you’ll hear them most
clearly. Keep your own counsel & follow your
own path. Affirm: “Peace is my path. Love is
my legacy.”
Friday 18th November 2022…King of
Swords…Your words carry weight & shape
your reality. Be considerate of the way you
speak to yourself & others. The Universe
reminds you that you are the co-creator of
your life & that your thoughts become things.
Today, intend your words to build brilliance,
beauty & blessings & watch the life of your
dreams take shape. Affirm: “I align with my
highest potential”
Saturday 19th November 2022…The
Chariot…Explore the edges & extremities of
your free-spirit today. Take the reins &
decide your destiny by picking the path that
inspires your spirit to shine. The Universe
reminds you that your freedom is expressed
in every moment of choice. Take each step
mindfully & focus on the road ahead. Affirm:
“When I move, the Universe moves with me”
Sunday 20th November 2022…Knight of
Cups…Your heart sings with poetry &
promise! Be inspired by the mystery &
magick of life. The Universe reminds you that
spiritual love connects you with everything &
everybody, everywhere. Your spirit is in a
state of continuous closeness & communion
with the Light. Expand your ecstatic soul by
putting your heart into your art today.
Affirm: “Infinite love lights my way; miracles
manifest day-by-day”
This concludes our mystical musings for the
week-ahead.

I’ve chosen the Rackham Tarot for our
medium today. This deck is made up of pre-
existing artwork by the artist, Arthur
Rackham. This means the cards don’t
conform to the traditional symbols or
archetypal representations but because of
that, it often inspires new layers of meaning
& interpretation. I’m sure they 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
Knight of Cups. The Knight of Cups is the
archetypal lover that brings deeper meaning
& joy to life. He interprets the world through
a poetic lens & glories in the glittering
greatness of life. His presence in this position
reminds us to appreciate the little things &
reassures us that our search for the silver
