Anna Louise May (Maya) 2023
26th December 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 Tarot of Mystical Moments for
our etheric explorations today. These cards
have dreamlike imagery with lots of flowers,
mermaids & surreal scenes. They reflect the
traditional archetypes but with lots of
imagination & a heaping of magick! 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 10
of Wands. This card reminds you not to
spread yourself too thinly or take on more
than you can cope with. With extra
commitments at this time of year, it’s
important to check in with yourself & make
sure you give yourself enough time to rest &
recover. If you’re feeling fraught & the
festivities have fried your patience, this
week, focus your attention on the present
moment rather than worrying about what’s
coming up next. And don’t underestimate the
power of an early night! You’re doing
amazingly well.
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 Hermit. This is in no
way a negative card, & in this position, this
card is offering us a solution to the potential
for burnout or overwhelm! Your routine can
be quite upset by the festive season & it can
be hard to make time for healing or
attending to your important spiritual
practices. The presence of the Hermit
recommends us to set aside time each day to
be alone without any distractions. This might
take the form of adding an extra 10 minutes
to your morning shower to work with an
affirmation, or going to bed early in order to
meditate & practice your breathing exercises.
Balancing your activities will help you
navigate a busy time.
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.

changing your perspective. Affirm: “My heart

reminds you that bringing your focus to what
you enjoy can be a perfect prayer. Affirm:

19th December 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 Tarot of the Little Prince for
our etheric explorations today. This deck
depicts scenes from the story of the Little
Prince and uses them as a way to elucidate
the traditional archetypes. It’s always an
adventure & brings in lots of inspiring ideas!
I’m sure it 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 8 of
Pentacles. This card indicates great
opportunities for the development of new
skills & the integration or expansion of
existing skills this week. Practice makes
perfect so if you want to truly master
something, you’ll need to dedicate time for it
& be consistent in your work. The rewards
will be worth it! You can surpass your
expectations & give yourself reasons to
celebrate by taking your talents to the next
level. The Universe is backing you all the way
& your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.
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 Wands. This is
in no way a negative card, but in this
position, we’re looking at the shadow aspect
of the archetype. The 3 of Wands in shadow
can indicate instability & a lack of foundation.
In the context of the first card, this card
recommends us to focus on existing skills &
knowledge to consolidate it & use it before
we consider how we might build upon it.
Explore your current skill set to see where
you’d like to expand it & your time will be
well spent. The dividends of determination &
devotion to your dreams will be divine!
And now we turn to the daily cards for the

increase our inspiration in the coming days.

12th December 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

I’ve chosen the Spirit Song Tarot for our
etheric explorations today. This deck features
pretty pastel-coloured images of animals
throughout – and it’s whimsical style
amplifies the magickal side of the majestic
creatures depicted. It’s perfect for connecting
with earthy & nature-based energy. 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
Hermit. The Hermit reminds us that our truth
and authenticity can’t always be found when
we’re around other people. If you have a
tendency to derive your self-worth from
other people’s opinions of you, you may also
have a tendency to adapt your behaviour to
please others while sacrificing your own
needs and principles. This week, set aside
some time to be alone in order to properly
touch base with yourself and give yourself
some care and consideration. You can create
a sanctuary of spiritual healing by shifting
your focus to solitude and spending some
quality time with yourself this week.
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 Knight of Swords.
This is in no way a negative card, but in this
position we’re looking at the shadow aspect
of the archetype. The Knight of Swords can
be too impulsive and can easily end up
pursuing the next idea before he’s finished
working with the current one. His inability to
ground himself enough to see things through
can prevent him from progressing in any real
sense, while keeping him very busy! If you
see yourself in the Knight of Swords, this
week, commit to taking things slowly & avoid
multi-tasking. If you feel like you don’t have
time to meditate, you need to meditate for
twice as long!
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 12th December 2022…2 of
Pentacles…Move seamlessly from one task to
another by mindfully focusing on what’s in
front of you today. Unwinding your mind
creates space for better decision making &
efficiency in other tasks so set aside
moments for meditation. The Universe
reminds you that freedom & happiness are
found in the flexibility & ease with which we
navigate change. Affirm: “All is working out
& working well”
Tuesday 13th December 2022…Page of
Cups…Spiritual forces send support through
sacred numbers, dreams, visions & heart-felt
hunches. You have one foot in the world of
the conscious & one playfully splashing in the
waters of the mysterious unconscious. The
Universe reminds you that your intuition
doesn’t lie. Listen to your heart & trust your
feelings. Affirm: “I am continuously
connected to my divine source”
Wednesday 14th December 2022…Page of
Swords…Your words have the power to shape
your life. Where you place your attention,
you place your energy. Every day brings you
closer to success & satisfaction when you
choose the thoughts & words that align with
your spiritual truth. The Universe reminds
you that fear is the enemy of love. Affirm: “I
align my life with my divine destiny”
Thursday 15th December 2022…9 of
Cups…Focus on self-acceptance & notice the
demonstrations of abundance & prosperity
that abound & surround you. Appreciate all
that brings you comfort, cosiness &
contentment. The Universe reminds you that
it’s the little things that are the big things in
the end. Trust in the Universe to sanctify
your every step in life’s sacred dance. Affirm:
“Step by step, I dance towards my dreams”
Friday 16th December 2022…Queen of
Pentacles…The richness & prosperity of the
Universe find full expression in your life
today. Look for the luxuries. Realise the
healing power of your home & marvel at the
miracles that surround you. Transform the
mundane into the magickal through deep
appreciation. The Universe reminds you that
home is where the heart is. Affirm: “May
brilliance, beauty & abundance abound”
Saturday 17th December 2022…Ace of
Swords…Your spirit guides you to your bliss
through inspiring ideas & potent possibilities.
The clouds clear & the sun shines through
when you open yourself up to an optimistic
outlook. The Universe reminds you that
inspiration can ignite your imagination in a
moment. Stay receptive by maintaining your
inner calm. Affirm: “I open my heart to
healing, hope & happiness”
Sunday 18th December 2022…7 of
Swords…A break with convention & the
embracing of originality open the door to
opulent opportunity today. Confound your
own expectations by doing things you didn’t
plan to do in ways you haven’t done them
before. The Universe reminds you that to
experience freedom from the limitations of
convention you need to embrace your
eccentricity. Affirm: “My authenticity paves
the path of progress & peace”

I’ve chosen The Good Tarot by Colette Baron-
Reid for our etheric explorations today. This
deck features dream-like, ethereal imagery
that expresses the traditional tarot meanings
in new ways. The larger card-size also makes
it a wonderful deck for magickal work or
path-working. 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
Hierophant. The Hierophant dispenses the
wisdom of the ages. He reflects the inner
shaman & our ability to access sacred
information by energetically connecting with
the invisible realms. Focusing on your
connection to the sacred aspects of the earth
will help you to translate the ephemeral into
something more useful; this week, spending
time in nature & ensuring you stay grounded
