January 2023 Musings...
30th January 2023…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 Ceccoli Tarot for our etheric
explorations today. This deck was created
with pre-existing artwork so it depicts the
tarot archetypes in non-traditional ways
which opens up new layers of meaning. The
art style is sweet but also dark in places and
always evocative, enchanting and esoteric.
It’s been a favourite deck of mine for many
years now – especially for tarot meditations
and pathworkings because the Ceccoli world
is one that really resonates deeply with me.
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 King
of Wands. In this position the King of Wands
reveals great opportunities opening for those
who are prepared to take action, step into
their power & exercise their sovereignty.
Whatever your hopes and goals are, this
week’s high energies give you a push in the
right direction! It’s going to be a case of
striking while the iron is hot though.
Procrastination is the enemy of progress so
be ready to act! You can effectively utilise
the potent celestial energies at play by
considering your course & executing your
plans with confidence, courage & charisma.
The Universe is telling you that the ball is in
your court 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 High Priestess. This
is in no way a negative card but in relation to
the first card and the elucidations it
provided, the presence of this card in this
position warns us to guard against getting
too much into our feelings this week or
spending too much time contemplating the
possibilities. Sensitive souls tend to be more
thoughtful, cautious & considerate when
planning their path – and in many ways,
that’s a good thing! But sometimes, that
tendency can mean missing out on
opportunities that require us to act fast. This
week, be mindful of keeping your analytical
tendencies in check by staying grounded.
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 30th January 2023…The
Chariot…Aim high by harnessing your highest
ambitions & audacity. Explore the edges &
extremities of your free-spirit by consciously
taking the reins & deciding your destiny. 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”
Tuesday 31st January 2023…The
Hierophant…Ancient wisdom informs your
journey to wholeness. Meditation & energy
healing can help you to awaken your inner
shaman in order to tap into reserves of
ancestral spiritual power. The Universe
reminds you to be receptive to the guidance
& gifts of the spiritual-beings that support
you. Affirm: “I am the master of my destiny”
Wednesday 1st February 2023…4 of
Wands…Today brings opulent opportunities
for the dancing of your happy dance!
Whatever inspires your smile or warms your
heart today, it’s time to mark the occasion.
The Universe reminds you that you co-create
your reality; so keep your hopes high &
count your blessings often. Affirm: “My soul
sings the song of success”
Thursday 2nd February 2023…Knight of
Cups…Songs of the source of the boundless
& beautiful love that comprises your sacred

receiving of love is the sacred ritual by which
we know ourselves. Share the love today.
Affirm: “I am beloved & blessed in every
moment”
Friday 3rd February 2023…7 of Cups…Define
a journey to joy & jubilation by exploring
your desires in technicolour daydreams.
Open your mind to magick by entertaining
eclectic & enchanting ideas. The Universe
reminds you that all good things come to
those who believe all good things are
possible! Affirm: “I am open to manifesting
miracles & magnificence”
Saturday 4th February 2023…9 of
Cups…Make a wish because the Universe is
feeling generous today! Demonstrations of
abundance & prosperity 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. Affirm: “Step by
step, I dance towards my dreams”
Sunday 5th February 2023…The Fool…Pursue
authenticity by bucking the trend & doing
things in your own way. Embracing sacred
rebellion can be a soulful act that brings you
closer to your highest spiritual self. The
Universe reminds you that true freedom
comes when your actions aren’t tempered by
fear & judgement. Affirm: “I trust in the
Universe”
23rd January 2023…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 Guardian of the Night Tarot
for our etheric explorations today. This deck
has a very earthy feel with animals depicted
throughout. Although it’s not traditional in
the depictions of the archetypes, the
magickal manifestations of nature perfectly
express the meanings of the cards for those
familiar with the Rider-Waite system. It’s still
winter here & this deck perfectly suits the
season! 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 reminds us that to
achieve greatness we need to embrace
commitment, determination & discipline. To
become excellent at anything, we need to
practice it! This week, great progress can be
made by devoting time & energy to
developing your skills & mastering your art.
Maybe you struggle to dedicate yourself to a
project because you feel it’s unimportant or
you feel it’s more important to prioritize
other things? Perhaps this week, you can
appreciate that not all growth is obvious &
not all success is visible. Sometimes, the
warm glow of accomplishment boosts your
confidence & heals your self-esteem.
Whatever you put your energy into, you are
prospered by 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 Devil. The Devil
has positive aspects but in this position, we
are concerned with the shadowy side of the
archetype. And this week, this card warns us
against toxic motivations & negative habits.
If you have a tendency to derive your self-
worth from other peoples’ approval, you may
find that you choose your activities based on
what you think other people think. This
week, to progress your healing journey,
perhaps its time to let go of those old
insecurities, do what feels right for you &
offer yourself the validation & acceptance
you seek.
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 23rd January 2023…The
Hermit…Sometimes resting & relaxing is the
most productive pursuit. Disconnect from the
drama & put your phone on silent for a few
hours. Create a sacred sanctuary for yourself
by spending time in meditation. The Universe
reminds you that you have untapped
reservoirs of wisdom in your soul. Affirm: “I
am guided by the limitless light within”
Tuesday 24th January 2023…2 of
Pentacles…Stay centred! Today, temper high
energy activities with time for meditation &
quiet. By switching things up you maintain
your momentum & success follows. The
Universe reminds you that freedom &
happiness are found in the flexibility & ease
with which we navigate change. Affirm: “In
flex & flow I flourish & find my force”
Wednesday 25th January 2023…Page of
Swords…Open your mind to magick by
entertaining eclectic & enchanting ideas.
Where you place attention, you place your
energy. Visualise the future of your dreams
to explore your heart’s true desires in your
imagination. The Universe reminds you that
your destiny is defined by your decisions.
Affirm: “Moment by moment, I align with my
magnificence”
Thursday 26th January 2023…The
Magician…Your skills & savvy come to the
fore today. Your talents are fine-tuned &
progressive paths are primed. The Universe
reminds you that you have grown in
expertise & wisdom. Harness the magick of
your experience by reflecting on your past
accomplishments to inspire yourself today.
Affirm: “I am authentically aligned with
abundance & expansion”
Friday 27th January
2023…Strength…Kindness is key today! Find
reserves of potency & power by extending
unconditional love & acceptance to yourself.
Elevate your heart by tuning into your
feelings & showing yourself compassion. The
Universe reminds you that your instincts &
intuition are spiritual gifts that can guide you
to authenticity. Affirm: “I accept. I adapt. I
ascend. I awaken”
Saturday 28th January 2023…Page of
Cups…Your intuition is primed so look for
sacred numbers & synchronistic symbols
today. Spiritual forces support & guide you
through dreams, visions & heart-felt
hunches. The Universe reminds you that your
heart doesn’t lie. Listen to yourself & trust
your feelings. Affirm: “I am continuously
connected to my divine source”
Sunday 29th January 2023…4 of
Cups…You’re about to find your groove again
but you can help the process by bringing
your focus back to the present moment.
Contemplation, meditation & quiet reflection
inspire your soul with the sumptuousness of
a sacred reality. The Universe reminds you
that your soul exists within the eternal now.
Affirm: “I flow & flourish, now”
16th January 2023…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 Happy Tarot for our etheric
explorations today. This deck follows the
traditional Rider-Waite system as far as the
symbolism & scenery go. But the archetypes
are expressed in pretty pastel colours & with
a super cute anime style. They sound like
they could be a novelty deck, but their
messages are always on point, magickal &
meaningful. 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
Star. It doesn’t get better than this! The Star
is a card of hope, healing and happiness &
suggests connection with celestial forces at
this time to help us progress the journey of
love. The Star invites us to explore our
highest spiritual goals through imagination &
visualisation & assures us that we can make
out-of-this-world progress this week if we
keep our hearts open & our optimism shining
out. Be open to the possibilities because
things could turn out far better than you ever
dared to dream!
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 5 of Cups. This isn’t
a negative card, but in this position, we are
looking at the shadowed aspect of the
archetype which relates to how it could block
energy or hinder our progress. The 5 of Cups
in shadow can indicate a tendency to focus
on the past & relive negative experiences
without the intention of healing or moving on
from them. Rather, it can be about dwelling
on our darkness in such a way that we lose
perspective & our thoughts & feelings begin
to reflect limitation of the past rather than
aligning us with new ways of being. If you
have a tendency to ruminate or amp up your
anxiety with a constant stream of “what ifs”,
this week, try to notice when your thoughts
are getting you lost in the weeds, & interrupt
yourself by changing your direction.
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 16th January 2023…Ace of
Pentacles…Manifest milk & honey miracles by
putting your energy into the things that
nourish your soul today. Gratitude aligns you
with glory & greatness in all areas of your
life! The Universe reminds you that creativity
is intelligence at play. Affirm: “I create a life
that befits my beautiful & bountiful soul”
Tuesday 17th January 2023…4 of Cups…You
are surrounded by opulence & opportunity,
but to awaken to the wonders, you need to
shift your focus. The Universe reminds you
that life reflects what you carry within.
Recognise the treasure of your heart & see
the world transmuted into glorious golden
goodness around you. Affirm: “I am lifted &
loved by the Light”
Wednesday 18th January 2023…7 of
Cups…Open your mind to magick by
entertaining eclectic & enchanting ideas.
Visualise the future of your dreams to
explore your heart’s true desires. The
Universe reminds you to live from your
imagination, not your history. All things are
possible if you believe all things are possible.
Affirm: “I am open to manifesting miracles &
magnificence”
Thursday 19th January 2023…The
Hermit…Follow your inner light by
disconnecting from the demands of the
outside world today. Attend to your spiritual
needs. Move slowly & quietly through your
day & allow peace to suffuse your spirit. The
Universe reminds you that happiness is an
inside job. Affirm: “I align with the peace &
perfection of simply being”
Friday 20th January 2023…Queen of
Pentacles…Appreciate abundance at home &
marvel at the magick that surrounds you.
Indulge your soul by focusing on what brings
you peace & pleasure to find sacred
grounding today. The Universe reminds you
that you carry your spiritual home within
your heart & are always loved. Affirm: “I am
at home in my heart”
Saturday 21st January 2023…6 of Cups…Give
yourself the gift of light-heartedness by
daring to delight in your light. Not all
lightwork feels like work! Indulge the inner
child by doing something for the sheer
enjoyment of it today. The Universe invites
you to explore your authenticity by playfully
perusing your imagination. Affirm:
“Everything is good & great & brilliant &
beautiful”
Sunday 22nd January 2023…The Wheel of
Fortune…Just when you thought things
couldn’t get any better, blessings of luminous
luck & fantastic fortune fall upon you! Align
with this expansive current by focusing on
gratitude during your meditations today. The
Universe reminds you that change is
inevitable, but progress is optional. Affirm: “I
am sacred, special & supported by spiritual
love”
9th January 2023…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 Star Tarot for our etheric
explorations today. This deck is a favourite of
mine & the bright colours, dark skies &
magickal symbolism make this the perfect
deck for exploring the mysterious & mystical!
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
Justice card. The Justice card reminds us to
keep a cool head this week. Approach the
tasks, chores & challenges of the week with
calmness & don’t be drawn into the drama. If
you tend to get emotionally entangled with
your day, a good way to disconnect is to go
to bed early & spend the additional time
focusing on releasing & forgiving all the
attachments created during the day to allow
you to restore your energetic integrity while
you sleep. The Justice energy reminds us to
create enough mental space that when we
need to think fast, we have the capacity to
do it.
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 5 of Swords. This
isn’t a negative card, but in this position, we
are looking at the negative aspect of the
archetype. This energy implies mental
conflict or competition. Competing with
others means creating energetic attachments
to them & investing those attachments with
your power. Ultimately, these can be very
harmful kinds of attachments that damage
our self-esteem & limit our view of ourselves
& our potential. So this week, aligning with
the Justice energy in order to progress our
path means disconnecting from external
attachments, judgements & habits in order
to free the mind & restore energetic flow.
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 9th January 2023…8 of
Pentacles…Channel your energy into
developing skills & making things to find your
grounding today. Artistic projects offer
opportunities for spiritual expression. Your
inner light can be shared with the world
through your creativity. The Universe
reminds you that every act of will is an act of
magick. Affirm: “My heart is open to the
magickal & miraculous”
Tuesday 10th January 2023…5 of
Wands…Sometimes our inner conflict can
help us to work out what we really want.
Notice areas of resistance & focus on
releasing the past. Let go of limitations that
no longer apply to you or your fantastical
future! The Universe reminds you that
conflict requires your participation. Affirm: “I
release the past to make way for my
prosperous potential”
Wednesday 11th January 2023…The
Emperor…When this archetype is awakened
you have the power to make things happen!
You’re in the driving seat of your life &
today’s your day for getting things done.
Stay in your lane so that distractions don’t
dampen your determination. The Universe
reminds you that discipline & doggedness
demonstrate your dominance. Affirm:
“Sovereignty is my strength. Success is my
story”
Thursday 12th January 2023…3 of
Wands…Your hard work pays off today.
Wherever you put your attention, the
Universe supports you in realising your
goals. Bring a bountiful, beautiful & blessed
life to bear by keeping a positive attitude.
The Universe reminds you that expressing
gratitude for all you have allows boundless
blessings to burgeon. Affirm: “I am aligned
with positive & progressive change”
Friday 13th January 2023…Strength…The
light crystallises around you to form a shield
of protection & peace. Your heart expands to
embrace your wildness & illuminates the
shadows at the edges of your reality. The
Universe reminds you that radical self-
acceptance means extending kindness,
compassion & charity to every part of
yourself. Affirm: “My heart embraces my
soul; I’m treasured, accepted & whole.”
Saturday 14th January 2023…King of
Wands…You have the power to transmute
your passion into prosperity & progress.
Express your sacred soul by taking centre
stage in your life today. Your enthusiasm is
contagious & inspires those around you. The
Universe reminds you that your potential far
exceeds the limited ideas you have about
yourself. Affirm: “Limitless love flows within
me & around me”
Sunday 15th January 2023…Knight of
Cups…Your heart sings with poetic promise &
inspires your spirit with magick &
magnificence. Open yourself to heart-centred
healing by looking for demonstrations of love
& light around you. The Universe reminds
you that you are the creator & curator of the
enchanting energy that flows through your
life. Affirm: “My life is the love affair of my
soul”
2nd January 2023…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

uplift and guide you on your healing journey.
I’ve chosen the Tarot of Mermaids for our
etheric explorations today. These cards are
based on the original Rider Waite system but
with all the scenes depicted with mermaids in
an underwater paradise. It’s evocative of the
ancient Lemurians for me & at the moment,
I’m working with Lemurian energies a great
deal – the current special offer from
Mayastar is for a Lemurian-based energy
healing system in fact! – a brand new
Mayastar Channelling that is the first in a
new series of attunements: The Wheel of
Light Starseed Activations! I’ve been working
more with the Lemurian Goddess, Amara in
the development of new light-language
meditations that are especially potent for
those working with the Lemurian energy
healing modalities I teach through Mayastar
– and the Lemurian Goddess Amara
Attunement includes a Light-Language
Mantra & sacred symbol for activation, as
well as a 60-minute meditation track that
can be used during the attunement process
& when working with this energy afterwards.
I feel water-based decks will take prime
position in 2023 with the upcoming
channellings & activations! I’m excited to see
how the energetic landscape shifts & unfolds
over the coming months. But for today, I’m
sure the Tarot of Mermaids 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 week for the purpose of
progressing the spiritual journey & pursuing
the path to wholeness is reflected in the King
of Wands. The King of Wands archetype
reminds us to take action if we want to enjoy
the rewards in the future. Just thinking about
the changes you want to make won’t get you
to where you want to be. It’s time to make
some plans to plot your path to a prosperous
future. Choose your 2023 goals with a high
heart & high ideals & take a first step by
completing the first task on your 2023 to-do
list this week! Starting as you mean to go on
is a magickal act. If your confidence needs a
bit of work, this week’s the perfect time to
