February 2023 Musings...
27th February 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 Sun & Moon Tarot for our
mystical meanderings today. This deck
features traditional Thoth symbolism and
meanings with modern artwork, vibrant
colours & evocative scenes. 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 week for the purpose of
progressing the spiritual journey & pursuing
the path to wholeness is reflected in the 7 of
Cups. In this position, the positive aspects of
this card are emphasised & it reveals that
progressive possibilities are flowing into our
lives. We can explore these new
opportunities & derive inspiration &
motivation from them through daydreaming
& exploring our imagination. Visualising your
goals can help you to align your intentions
with your hope & the 7 of Cups guides us to
imagine what we truly desire as a way to
determine our objectives for the next cycle of
our lives. If you find exploring your
imagination difficult, perhaps start out with a
notebook handy so you can write down your
impressions & then refer to the notebook the
next time you sit down to tune in. Your
imagination holds the key to spiritual
inspiration 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 Strength. This is in no
way a negative card but in this position we’re
looking at the shadow aspect of the
archetype. Strength is about resilience &
fortitude through authenticity, compassion &
kindness. In shadow, this energy might be
expressed as a tendency to try to achieve a
feeling of strength by acting out, being
argumentative or somehow forcing the issue.
Aligning with limited ideas of Strength could
block you from maintaining your integrity &
being fully present in your life 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.
Monday 27th February 2023…The
Hierophant…Sometimes you need to be the

Wednesday 1st March 2023…Judgement…It’s
time to make way for the magick by letting
go of whatever’s been getting in your way.
Outmoded thinking may need to be dissolved
so that you can ascend to the next level. The
Universe reminds you that growth comes
from the unlearning of old habits. Affirm:
“My life is a process of renewal”
Thursday 2nd March 2023…3 of

& collaborating with people around you

your light with others. Your contribution to
the world is essential. The Universe reminds

Saturday 4th March

20th February 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 Spiritsong Tarot for our
mystical meanderings today. This is my
favourite animal-based deck with exquisite
illustrations of the archetypes by Paulina
Cassidy. It’s beautiful & whimsical in style,
but with the depth of meaning that nature &
animal spirits bring to the mix. 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 2 of Cups energy is
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.
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 6 of Pentacles. This
is in no way a negative card, but in this
position we’re looking at the shadow-aspect
of the archetype. The 6 of Pentacles is about
having plenty in a practical sense & being
able to share what you have with others. But
this week, it indicates a potential problem in
this area. If you’re around people that make
demands on your time & resources but never
reciprocate, this might be something to look
out for. It could also be indicative of a
tendency to feel you need to buy the
approval of others or derive your self-esteem
from the opinions of those around you. Be
vigilant against tendencies of over-giving 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.
Monday 20th February 2023…The
Hermit…Take a time-out & sink into the
silence. Meditation, yoga or energy healing
restore calm. Move slowly & quietly through
your day & allow peace to suffuse your spirit.
The Universe reminds you that a peaceful life
begins within your own heart. Affirm: “I align
with the peace & perfection of simply being”
Tuesday 21st February 2023…Queen of
Pentacles…An abundance of love & luxury
surrounds you. Find your grounding in
pleasure & practicality. The ordinary rituals of
life can be sanctified by the magick you bring
to them. The Universe reminds you that
every eventuality can be enhanced by good
intentions. Affirm: “I hope & intend a life of
consummate comfort & completeness”
Wednesday 22nd February 2023…The
Lovers…Love magnifies the magick in all
areas of your life. Lean into your loving
connection to the world to appreciate the
sacredness of your soulful life. The Universe
reminds you that love is the power that
connects all things to all things. Affirm:
“Love is the song of the Soul of the Universe”
Thursday 23rd February 2023…Ace of
Pentacles…Invest your energy wisely because
the Law of Attraction is continuously at work!
New opportunities grow from old ideas. Your
life burgeons & brims with bountiful
blessings. The Universe reminds you that
spiritual success allows you appreciate
abundance in new ways. Affirm: “I thrive &
prosper, thrive & prosper”
Friday 24th February 2023…Page of
Wands…It’s time to get excited about the
future! Visualise the life of your dreams &
invest your energetic creation with passion &
promise. Smile with satisfaction as you
define your destiny. The Universe reminds
you that thoughts become things – so control
your mind. Affirm: “I am open to a life of
prosperity & progress”
Saturday 25th February 2023…9 of
Pentacles…Appreciate your abundant life &
recognise your riches! Cultivate optimism &
gratitude to ground yourself in the lushness
of life. The Universe reminds you that where
your attention goes, your energy flows;
choose to look on the bright side to nurture

13th February 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

I’ve chosen the Tarot of the Little Prince for
our mystical musings. This deck deviates
from the traditional symbolism but adds
layers of new meaning to the archetypes
from the story of the Little Prince. It’s
reminiscent of childhood innocence &
unshakeable hope. The journey of the Little
Prince reflects the journey of The Fool in
traditional decks beautifully. 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 path, is reflected
in The Chariot. The presence of this card in
this position indicates enormous potential for
a great leap forwards. The Chariot speaks of
movement, momentum and magickal
opportunities in the coming days. To connect
with the power of this archetype & awaken
your soul to the majesty of new experiences,
remind yourself of past growth. You’ve
overcome challenges, developed new skills &
nurtured your wisdom. Whatever doubts you
may have about your abilities, remember
how you’ve achieved things that seemed
beyond you in the past. Be open to the
possibility that greater things than you can
imagine are possible, and you’ll be aligning
with this powerful energetic flow. May you
prosper in all you do!
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 Justice. This is in no
way a negative card, but in this position,
we’re dealing with the shadowed aspects of
the archetype. The presence of Justice
reminds us not to become hyperfixated on
things; it reminds us that being too rigid in
our routines & trying to micro-manage
ourselves & our lives can block us from
aligning with the expansive excellence of our
eternal nature. Being open to opportunities
for growth means keeping an open mind &
an open heart 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.
Monday 13th February 2023…King of
Pentacles… Your ancestors offer you healing,
encouragement & spiritual protection. Tap
into new levels of confidence by
remembering you’re never alone & you’re
always loved. Every step of the way you’re
guided by unseen hands. The Universe
reminds you that you are the result of a
thousand loves. Affirm: “I am free of fear &
fortified by love”
Tuesday 14th February 2023…6 of
Wands…Today you’re invited to celebrate
your accomplishments & revel in your recent
growth. Take an inner lap of honour to mark
the occasion. Drawing satisfaction from your
success can be a sacred ritual. The Universe
reminds you that your life should impress
yourself, not others. Affirm: “I inspire myself
to greatness through gratitude”
Wednesday 15th February 2023…Ace of
Cups…The stars are aligned in favour of
fantastic fortune. Muster your courage, open
your heart & make a wish! Things could turn
out better than you ever hoped. The
Universe reminds you if you’re ready to
change your life you can start today by
changing your mind. Affirm: “Goodness
grows & flows forever.”
Thursday 16th February 2023…3 of
Pentacles…Recognise your essential place in

unleash your magick. Affirm: “I awaken to
marvels & miracles by being my magickal
self”
Friday 17th February 2023…3 of
Cups…Appreciate the little things & celebrate
the big ones! When you recognise the

refreshes your soul. Exploit every excuse to

prosper”
Saturday 18th February 2023…The
World…You were made to shine so disregard
the detractors & doom-mongers & do what
makes you happy! Inspire yourself with your

reminds you that you are a perfect work in
progress, just like everyone else! Affirm: “I
am what I am & I love myself entirely”
Sunday 19th February 2023…10 of
Wands…Relax a bit! Not everything needs to
be accomplished in one day! Every small step
takes you closer to the life of your dreams.

requisite for happiness. Balance your
productivity with time for simply being.

by step by step”

I’ve chosen the Black Cats Tarot for our
mystical musings today. This is a fun deck –
based on the Rider-Waite system and
depicting all the characters as cats! But
unlike some reinterpretation decks, it adds
new dimensions to the cards by adapting
some scenes and symbols to ones that
resonate with our feline friends. These cards
perfectly echo the pursuits and priorities of
the hero’s journey when undertaken by a cat
and thoughts of Puss in Boots are never far
from my mind when I’m working with it! 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
Empress. The Empress is the earth mother
goddess figure. She represents abundance,
prosperity and fertility. Her presence in this
position is wonderful news because the
