September 2023 Musings... 25th September 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 Buffy the Vampire Slayer Tarot for our reading today. This deck is new to my collection and already becoming a favourite with me! As a fan of the show, I know many of the characters and episodes depicted well and can draw from the stories as well as the traditional tarot archetypes with this deck – making it excellent for meditation and contemplation. The artwork is modern and reminiscent of some early 2000s anime styles – so I enjoy it aesthetically too! 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 The Emperor. The Emperor carries the balanced power of the four elemental Kings, and is therefore the master of his mind, his passion, his emotions and his physical reality. In this position his positive aspects are emphasised and he promises success and progress in all areas. If you’ve been holding back on trying something new, or you’ve been procrastinating, this week’s energy creates an opportunity for things to change. The Emperor is all about making informed choices and owning your power. Recognise the part you play in the unfolding of your life so that you can choose to make any changes necessary to steer you towards your highest ambitions. 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.

This is a Rider-Waite style deck with the traditional symbolism & characters reflected in the style of Pre- Raphaelite art & featuring some familiar faces for those familiar with the style! The vibrant colours & romantic scenes are captivating & reflect the archetypes perfectly. I’m sure this deck will be a powerful translator of the numinous for us today.

This card reminds us to lean into the emotionally supportive relationships we have this week. If you’re feeling apprehensive or stressed, talking it out with a friend or spending time with loved ones will bring you healing & happiness. Our connection with loved ones is energetic & sharing energy can increase the flow of life- force, bring healing & restore equilibrium. Spending time in nature can replenish your energy & help you to find grounding. 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 there is no opposition anticipated. Rather, the deep emotional & spiritual energetic tide is further emphasised by the Queen of Cups. The Queen of Cups has a powerful connection with the unconscious, and with our dreams and visions. Her presence reminds us to listen to the promptings of our intuition & follow our hearts in all we do. Pay attention to repetitive symbols or impressions received in dreams & meditations this week.

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 Black Cats Tarot for our medium. These card express the traditional archetypes but with the characters represented as cats. The scenes diverge from the traditional cards but echo the meanings beautifully, while encouraging exploration of new layers of meaning. It’s a very balanced deck and one that I reach for regularly! 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 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 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.

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.

My musings are intended to inspire, uplift and guide you on your healing journey. I’ve chosen the Everyday Witch Tarot for our medium today. These are based on the traditional meanings but have witches & their familiars in every card. I love them for their unique representations of the traditional archetypes that make these cards so accessible & meaningful for modern witches! I’m sure they 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, we’re looking at the positive aspects of the card. The 7 of Cups invites us to explore our possibilities & potential through imagination & fantasy. Indulging in daydreams can help us to discover what truly matters to us & gives us a space in which to explore what we really want out of life. Allow your intuition to guide you as you imagine yourself & your future in flights of fancy. Don’t be afraid to dream big! Make your imaginings as colourful & comprehensive as possible by acknowledging the emotions your vivid & vibrant visions inspire. Writing down some of your ideas may help you to uncover new opportunities for healing, happiness & hope. 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 Judgement card. This is in no way a negative card, but in this position we’re looking at the shadowed aspect of the archetype. And when Judgement is in shadow, we may be failing to progress our path because we’re reinforcing ties to the past by replaying memories, but not creating balance by using our imagination to explore possibilities for the future. Making a conscious effort to look ahead and prepare to meet the beautiful and blessed opportunities of the future head on can inspire hope and create space for your sacred spirit to shine through. 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 4th September 2023…Hanged Man…Taking time to rest & reflect is essential to your health & happiness. Doing something unexpected can shift your energy.
