Maya Muses - Daily Spiritual Guidance Messages for the Collective

October 2023 Musings... 30th October 2023…Welcome back to my cosy corner of the internet. I’m Mayastar, I teach energy healing courses online through Mayastar Academy; create music as a Lemurian priestess, and provide healing, ritual & spell casting services as starseeded shaman & professional witch. 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 Dame Darcy’s Mermaid Tarot for our reading today. This deck is based on the original Rider Waite system but the characters and scenes are expressed in Dame Darcy’s unique style! It’s like an Art Nouveau, meets Manga, meets great tattoo art! Speaking of which, if you’re interested in the magickal side of tattoos and body modifications, check out the past Unscripted episodes on this channel to hear my thoughts. Back to the Mermaid tarot - it has a really eclectic vibe and although it closely follows many of the traditional scenes, the characters being mermaids really draws you into a magickal world of fairy tales and fantasy. This deck resonates deeply with me when I’m working with Lemurian energies – which is something I’ve focused on a lot this year with my channelled meditations. 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 Knight of Swords. There’s a lot going on & whatever plans you may have had could end up taking a backseat! The Knight of Swords suggests you may get caught up in a bit of a mission as you seek out essential information to make important decisions. But this could also represent some inner work, a major step forward in your healing journey or successful efforts to reprogramme your mind as you move beyond old ways of thinking. And there’s excellent news when it comes to the potential opposition we may face this week: there is no negative, restrictive or oppressive energetic current in line to derail our plans! Rather, the 3 of Cups indicates opportunities for festivities, fun, frivolity & friends. Sharing the love is what it’s all about, so don’t keep your joy to yourself. Take every opportunity to enjoy yourself & express your gratitude for the things that bring you abundance, beauty & happiness this week. Where you focus your energy, things expand – so focus on only the things you want to see more of. 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 October 2023…The Sun…Tune into your inner-child today by allowing the healing light of celestial solar energy to embrace you. Create time for fun & frivolity by making a game out of completing your chores. The Universe reminds you that you are made of the same stuff as the stars. Affirm: “I choose an attitude of gratitude” Tuesday 31st October 2023…Justice…Words can hurt, harm & hinder so be careful how you talk to yourself today. Be considerate of your feelings & be fair to yourself. Things aren’t as black & white as they seem & you’re doing brilliantly! The Universe reminds you that you’re an extraordinary person, just like everyone else! Affirm: “Limitless light suffuses my soul” Wednesday 1st November 2023…6 of Swords…Take time out for rest & recuperation. Reconnect with your higher self & highest ideals through magickal & meaningful self-care rituals. The Universe reminds you that the spiritual journey is the overcoming of fear & the acceptance of love. Affirm: “My every cell & atom resounds with pure love & divine light” Thursday 2nd November 2023…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. Affirm: “My heart sings & my soul smiles” Friday 3rd November 2023…The Emperor…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” Saturday 4th November 2023…Page of Swords…Where you place your attention, you place your power. Rise above fear & limitation by opening your mind to new possibilities. The Universe reminds you that every day brings you closer to happiness when you choose the words & ways that align with your soul. Affirm: “I dance towards my divine destiny” Sunday 5th November 2023…5 of Swords… Everyone is a winner at being themselves & living their own life – including you! Appreciate your wins, but never by comparing yourself with others. The Universe reminds you that the only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday. Affirm: “I accept my wholeness & express my soulness” 23rd October 2023…Welcome back to my cosy corner of the internet. I’m Mayastar, I teach energy healing courses online through Mayastar Academy; create music as a Lemurian priestess, and provide healing, ritual & spell casting services as starseeded shaman & professional witch. 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. These cards have everything you’d expect from a traditional Rider-Waite deck but with a whimsical twist. The characters express high vibes & happiness & draw you into a magickal world of marshmallow softened edges, vivid colour & light-hearted luminosity. 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 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 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 23rd October 2023…5 of Pentacles…Empower yourself by consciously moving your mind away from thoughts of lack, limitation & lamentation. Define your direction by visualising positive outcomes & inspire yourself by imagining just how brilliantly things could go! The Universe reminds you that energy flows where your attention goes. Affirm: “I manifest miracles & magick” Tuesday 24th October 2023…Hanged Man…Taking time to rest & reflect is essential to your health & happiness. Doing something unexpected can shift your energy. A change in perspective today, can change your life tomorrow. The Universe reminds you that the way you look at things determines your experience. Affirm: “My heart is a reservoir of peace & plenty” Wednesday 25th October 2023…Knight of Pentacles…The most powerful healing is the healing you give to yourself. Soothe your frayed edges by showing yourself kindness & consideration today. Slow down & find your grounding. The Universe reminds you that you can’t pour from an empty cup, so take care of yourself first. Affirm: “I embody the wholeness of my soul” Thursday 26th October 2023…The Star…Look up! Celestial bodies are aligned in your favour & encouraging you to make a soul-felt wish today. Fortune favours the free & fabulous, so choose to shine like the star you are! The Universe reminds you that nothing can dim the light that shines from within. Affirm: “Mine is the light of limitless love” Friday 27th October 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” Saturday 28th October 2023…4 of Pentacles…Hold onto your power by being careful where you put your energy. Protecting yourself from gossip, drama & negativity is an important part of self-care. The Universe reminds you that keeping healthy boundaries is part of love. Affirm: “I pursue the path of healing & wholeness. One step at a time” Sunday 29th October 2023…9 of Wands…Prioritise meeting your own needs today. Give yourself permission to take up space without compromise. Say no to things that diminish & deplete your energy. The Universe reminds you that healthy boundaries create room for your soul to shine. Affirm: “I am complete & comfortable. Always & in all ways” 16th October 2023…Welcome back to my cosy corner of the internet. I’m Mayastar, I teach energy healing courses online through Mayastar Academy; create music as a Lemurian priestess, and provide healing, ritual & spell casting services as starseeded shaman & professional witch. 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 6 of Wands. In this position, the positive aspects of this archetype are emphasised & remind us that sometimes, it’s important to celebrate your own achievements & accept the validation of those around you when you’ve made important progress. Whether it’s a successful change in your habits, a new business project, the completion of your studies or reaching a goal you set yourself, this week, acknowledging the wins helps you to find your grounding & integrate recent changes. Your healing journey isn’t a straight path but this week promises to be one of the high points if you choose to align with this energy! 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 Pentacles. This is in no way a negative card, but in this position, we’re looking at the shadowed aspect of the archetype. This card is about working with others in order that all participants benefit beyond the limitations of their own abilities. So in shadow, this card warns us about the intentions of others & the effects they might have on our productivity & happiness. This card may be recommending us to be careful of the company we keep. Doom-mongers & naysayers can bring you down & this week, that could block you from recognising the blessings & abundance around you. 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 October 2023…3 of Swords…It’s time to touch base with yourself. It’s ok to feel things you can’t put into words. Create an emotional safe-space by extending unconditional acceptance & compassion to yourself. The Universe reminds you that your soul always knows what to do to heal itself. Affirm: “I pursue the path of healing & wholeness” Tuesday 17th October 2023…8 of Pentacles…Channel your energy into developing skills 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” Wednesday 18th October 2023…5 of Wands…Dodge the drama & cut off from the conflict today by staying in your lane & prioritising your inner peace. Your time is precious & not everyone that demands it is deserving of it! Be discerning. The Universe reminds you that conflict requires your participation. Affirm: “I am aligned with positive & progressive change” Thursday 19th October 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” Friday 20th October 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 21st October 2023…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” Sunday 22nd October 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” 9th October 2023…Welcome back to my cosy corner of the internet. I’m Mayastar, I teach energy healing courses online through Mayastar Academy; create music as a Lemurian priestess, and provide healing, ritual & spell casting services as starseeded shaman & professional witch. 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 Moon Garden for our medium today. These cards really draw you into a magickal landscape – the night skies and the reflection of different moon phases express new layers of meaning and the vibrant colours add a dream-like dimension to the imagery. 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 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 energetic 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 playful energies, particularly dolphin or unicorn 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 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 it’s 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 9th October 2023…3 of Wands…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” Tuesday 10th October 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” Wednesday 11th October 2023…Knight of Cups…Songs of the source of the boundless & beautiful love that comprises your sacred soul play out in your connections today. The Universe reminds you that the giving & receiving of love is the sacred ritual by which we know ourselves. Share the love today. Affirm: “I am beloved & blessed in every moment” Thursday 12th October 2023…4 of Swords…Set aside time for rest, relaxation & recuperation. Balance is found by creating the energetic space for yourself to breathe. The Universe reminds you that making time to do nothing can help you to unwind enough to recognise what’s truly important. Affirm: “My heart is a sanctuary of limitless love & light” Friday 13th October 2023…9 of Swords…The solution to oppressive thoughts & restrictive beliefs comes from within. Now is the time! You’ve grown beyond the confines of your fear. Recognising your patterns reveals new & empowering ways of doing things. The Universe reminds you that courage is overcoming fear, not eradicating it. Affirm: “Today I exceed yesterday’s limitations” Saturday 14th October 2023…7 of Pentacles…When you’ve done all you can do, it’s time to rest & patiently await the fruits of your labour. Maintain your highest intentions while you wait. The Universe reminds you that balance means working when there’s work to do, but resting when there’s not. Affirm: “The future is aligned with hope & happiness” Sunday 15th October 2023…Page of Cups…Tune into the whispers of your heart today because your higher-self is sharing important guidance with you through symbols, numbers & dreams. The Universe reminds you that you are a spiritual being having a human experience & your soul is always in communion with the divine. Affirm: “My source is bountiful & blessed” 2nd October 2023…Welcome back to my cosy corner of the internet. I’m Mayastar, I teach energy healing courses online through Mayastar Academy; create music as a Lemurian priestess, and provide healing, ritual & spell casting services as starseeded shaman & professional witch. 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 Spirit Song Tarot for our etheric explorations today. This deck features pretty pastel-coloured images of animals throughout – and its whimsical style amplifies the magickal side of the majestic creatures depicted. Paulina Cassidy’s artwork resonates strongly with me at times I'm working with animal healing systems and connecting with the autumnal currents! 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 Queen of Wands. The Queen of Wands is a diva of mythical proportions who rules over her life with poise & passion. She enjoys the full extent of her power & potency. Aligning with this energy means taking centre stage & not being afraid to take up space in your own life. It means standing up for yourself & speaking your truth. In short, bringing your focus to expressing your authentic self will stand you in good stead right now. You’re brimming with power & promise & directing that energy with authority & confidence will drive you towards your dreams 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 6 of Swords. This isn’t a negative card but in this position, we’re looking at the shadow aspects of the archetype. And this indicates the biggest impediment we face this week is a tendency to live in the past or dwell on negative experiences in the past, when it’s time for us to move on & embrace new opportunities. If you’re pursuing a healing journey, sometimes it’s a good idea to set aside your healing practice & ground yourself into the present moment so that you can regain perspective. This week might be one of those times to bring your attention back to the present & focus on what you wish to achieve going forward. Your healing path is cyclical & you can pick up where you left off when the time is right. 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 2nd October 2023…The Moon…Your intuition is your soul reaching out into the invisible realms & providing you with the inspiration & guidance to progress your spiritual journey. Today, honour your soul by listening carefully to its promptings. The Universe reminds you that you carry your treasure within. Affirm: “I embody the limitless light of soulful love” Tuesday 3rd October 2023…2 of Pentacles…Adapt & align by consciously balancing your energetic books. Temper high energy activities with periods of quietness. Switching things up maintains your momentum. The Universe reminds you that freedom & happiness are found in the flexibility & ease with which we move through change. Affirm: “My life is in flow & I flourish fruitfully” Wednesday 4th October 2023…6 of Wands…Your progress has been noted by the Universe & today you’re invited to celebrate your accomplishments! Appreciate recent growth & indulge your ego enough to enjoy taking a bow. The Universe reminds you that drawing satisfaction from your success can be a sacred ritual. Affirm: “I inspire myself to greatness through gratitude” Thursday 5th October 2023…6 of Cups…Give yourself the gift of light-heartedness by finding the funny side of things. Indulge the inner child by doing something for the sheer enjoyment of it today. The Universe reminds you that your childhood innocence reflects the authenticity of your soul. Lean into levity to remember yourself. Affirm: “My life inspires joy & jubilation” Friday 6th October 2023…Strength…Find your fortitude & realise your resilience by connecting with your inner strength. The Universe reminds you that your power comes from trusting yourself to respond to challenges with wisdom rather than force. Light crystallises around you to form a shield of protection & peace. Affirm: “My soul is whole. My spirit is true” Saturday 7th October 2023…8 of Cups…Exciting & expansive opportunities exist beyond your beliefs. Forgive the past. Forgive yourself. The sun is rising on a new chapter & revealing new opportunities for growth. The Universe reminds you that life is like riding a bicycle: to keep your balance, you must keep moving. Affirm: “Balance brings blessings & brilliance to bear” Sunday 8th October 2023…10 of Cups…Extravagant energies encourage you to dream bigger! Blessings & beneficence abound & bountiful benevolence is demonstrated in your life. The Universe reminds you that bringing your focus to what you enjoy can be a perfect prayer. Celebrate the small things & big things will happen today.
