The Star arrives this week as we enter into the new moon in Aquarius. A woman and a man, depicted on the card as white star-beings are connected to each other by their index fingers, this creating a sparkle and the explosive birth of star energy. The white square underneath the star couple is the material image of a clean slate. It exemplifies that which is created at this very moment, everything is clean and void of clutter and obstacles, and reminds us that everything is possible when starting anew.
Are you seeking your community? The Star reminds us of miracles, of the union of souls and of our inner dreams and wishes becoming true. The slate is swept clean and the potential for immense soul growth is here, realised though other people. We are called to expand and widen our sphere, and to spread our sacred knowledge with others. As explained by Flavia here, the Aquarian energy will bring us together by seeking and joining communities, we crave exchange and support on our journey. Remember who you truly are, and you will connect to those who walk along you on the path, not in front or behind, but by your side, as a true soul friend. The Star energy confirms that changing the vibration of your immediate environment is the beginning of your own Age of Aquarius.
Meditation with The Star
Try this meditation with The Star.
Sit down in a quiet space. Take a few deep breaths and relax.
Look at the image of the female and male star-beings and how they connect to each other by their index fingers, forming a newly born star. Observe how the star-beings float in space, they are not connected to earth, instead they exist in infinity as shapes of pure energy. Call them into your personal auric sphere and listen to their guidance. Be comforted by the purple and white and let the coloured rays relax, purify and protect you.
Stay in meditation for 5 to 10 minutes.
After the meditation, journal about the below questions.
Have you found your star family?
Is there a kindred spirit your can confide in?
Additional practice – meeting your star family with Aura Amethyst.
Aura Amethyst is a mesmerising crystal displaying an iridescent lavender colour, the result of heat-infused rare metals to the crystals’ surface. Aura Amethyst generates a full spectrum of rainbow colours which shimmer and radiate magical and mysterious energy. It connects us to the higher spiritual realms, and promotes clairvoyance and true knowing. Aura Amethyst enhances any creative activity and it connects the creative mind with the higher-self. It heals wounds in the higher auric layers, cleanses blocks and protects us with a high vibrational field of peace. Aura Amethyst will cherish your whole being with a gentle and profound energy. It is relaxing and provides the space and time to think as it calms the mind and encourages sacred change through contemplation.
For the healing ceremony, lie down in a comfortable place. Place the Aura Amethyst on your crown chakra. Take a deep breath and relax. Feel how the iridescent violet colour is cleansing your crown chakra. Then sense how the purifying energy of Aura Amethyst is travelling down to your third eye, your throat chakra, your heart, the solar plexus, sacral, root and knee chakras, down to your feet, toes and connecting to the earth. Sense how the gorgeous vibration of Aura Amethyst is awakening your crown chakra and spreading cherished vibes into and around your whole body. Stay in the sacred energy of the Aura Amethyst and feel how your soul is connecting to your whole being, and beyond. Note any messages you receive at this point.
Take a deep breath and say thank you to Aura Amethyst and its’ healing gift. You can repeat this practice anytime you wish to connect to your star family, both in the physical and spiritual realms.

In this first week of 2020 we meet The Hermit from the Modern Witch Tarot. Inspired by Pamela Colman Smith’s stylish artwork from the Rider-Waite Tarot, the witches’ female hermit is depicted gracefully standing with her left hand raised and her right hand either opening or closing her laptop. The hooded robe is a sign of choosing to be alone and to withdraw temporarily from the outer world, to later re-emerge with insights not only for ourselves but also for our community. Around her neck hangs a glowing star which offers guidance.
The Hermit’s gift is that of wisdom through contemplation. When we are alone we receive wisdom from ourselves and also through our connection to the universe. In solitude and silence we hear and understand better through embodied listening. The shining star allows for empowerment in your inner sanctum. You are free to roam with your own thoughts, nobody is present to interfere with your mystic processes, the messages you receive and send could be transcending unknown and/or parallel worlds.
The Hermit encourages you to be still, to explore your inner mind by staying away from temptations and overspending, both materially and energetically. Listen to your spiritual heart and be open to the transformation which occurs in voluntary solitude. The glowing star is a guiding light for the unconscious mind and it is a pathway to a breakthrough.
The full moon eclipse in Cancer on 10 January will enable us to tap into our emotional sources and make us realise how we react to the triggers that upset us. Utilise the energy of the eclipse to temporarily becoming The Hermit. Instead of reacting to the challenges of the external environment focus on conserving your energy. This will help you to connect to the outer world in welcoming the new era with a compassionate mind.
Meditation with The Hermit
Try this meditation with The Hermit.
Sit down in a quiet space. Take a few deep breaths and relax.
Look at the image of the female Hermit and how she is either closing and opening her laptop, choosing which information she is receiving and/or sending out. She is silently contemplating on making a decision for her own best benefit. The hooded robe is a sign that she is conserving her energy and taking a step back to connect to the embodied message she is receiving in silent retreat. Observe the shining star hanging at solar plexus level, it is a reminder to trust in your own strength.
Stay in meditation for 5 to 10 minutes.
After the meditation, journal about the below questions.
What did The Hermit show you?
How can you expand your imagination?
Additional practice – tapping into your unlimited imagination with Charoite
Charoite is an enchanting crystal ranging in colour from bright violet and lavender to deep purple, with a pearly lustre and marbling patterns from inclusions of quartz or manganese. Discovered in the 1940s, it was only revealed to the rest of the world in 1978. The name Charoite is derived from the Chara River in eastern Siberia, Russia and the only place where it is found. In Russian, the word chary means magic or charms. Charoite is monoclinic in structure and it is a complex silicate, containing sodium, potassium, calcium and barium amongst others.
Charoite is a dream stone and illuminator of our soul and it provides access to lessons learned in past lives and heals emotional fears of living in the present, and makes us receive spiritual guidance to accept the future. It connects the crown and heart chakra and unites spiritual energy with physical unconditional love and brings it to Mother Earth. Charoite has the ability to help you to realise your dreams through its’ unwavering unconditional energy of love and acceptance. Charoite gives collective hope since it connects us to the community of peaceful dreamers and enables us to be of service rather than focusing on ego-centred goals. It is a stone for the current age, promoting positive change for Mother Earth. Charoite corresponds to the Violet Ray and can be used in Violet Flame meditations.
For the healing ceremony, lie down in a comfortable place. Place the Charoite on your Bindu or Moon chakra situated at the back of the head, where the bones of the back and the sides meet, the occiput and the parietal. This is the point of emptiness and the source of creation, and the point where divine information can be dropped. It is the point through which all elements manifest. After placing the Charoite on your Bindu, take a deep breath and relax. Sense how the beautiful purple energy is entering your Bindu chakra and awakening it. Then sense how the Charoite vibration is travelling up to your crown chakra, then down to your third eye, the throat chakra, heart, solar plexus, sacral, root and knee chakras, down to your feet, toes and then connecting to Mother Earth. Feel how the vibration of Charoite is awakening your Bindu and how this deep sensation is connecting all chakras and pathways in your whole body. Stay in the sacred energy of Charoite and feel how your soul is connecting to your whole being and to the cosmos. Note any messages you receive at this point.
Take a deep breath and say thank you to Charoite and its’ healing gift.
You can repeat this practice when you wish to awaken your Bindu chakra and experience the bliss of deep imagination.

Weekly Wisdom by Mirasol – 25 December 2019
This week, the last of 2019, we encounter the Archangels Haniel, Metatron and Orion from the Angel Prayers Oracle Cards by Kyle Gray. Haniel, the Grace of God, with turquoise wings and white-blue hair, holds a turquoise lotus, offering it to you as a confirmation of your sensitivity. She reminds you of the need to pay attention to your feelings and to be honest about them. Metatron, the throne next to God, is radiating light from his hands in prayer position. He is bringing a message of clearing, saying that now is a dynamic time to sweep away any stuck energy which may weigh you down. Clutter clearing of material excess is needed, perhaps by gifting, which creates space for the new to arrive. Finally, Orion, the Archangel of Cosmos, a handsome dark blue vision embellished with shining stars, is reminding you of the mastery of manifestation and your own skills to call in and receive that which you desire. He reassures us that miracles happen magically, and when we wish upon a star, it is already reality.
The combined message of the three Archangels is one of honesty, when we tap into our true feelings we know how to proceed and we also enable ourselves to be ready to receive the miracles which we have prayed for. Ceremonial work of acceptance, cleansing and receptivity with symbols, sound and meditation is consolidating the energy of the Archangels and what they wish us to know and act upon.
With the new moon in Capricorn and the Solar Eclipse, we may receive a universal request that we are ready to fully inspect our soul and its’ purpose in this life time. Use this precious cosmic timing to investigate your path and how you can further that which you already know to broaden the full spectrum of your own wisdom.
Meditation with Haniel, Metatron and Orion
Try this meditation with Haniel, Metatron and Orion.
Sit down in a quiet space. Take a few deep breaths and relax.
Focus on the three cards. Note which card draws you in more than the others. Observe how the Archangel who called you is focused on their mission, which they want to support you with. Stay connected to their presence and energy, gaze onto their image and receive the message and/or symbol you have waited for.
Stay in meditation for 5 to 10 minutes.
After the meditation, journal about the below questions:
What can you do to evolve spiritually on your journey on Mother Earth?
Is there a practice you can set up to deepen the connection you have with your soul?
Additional practice – soul journey with black obsidian
Obsidian is a spectacular shining volcanic glass formed when lava cools down rapidly. It has minimal crystal growth and an amorphous structure which makes it the perfect crystal for exploring the soul. Obsidian has an energy of no boundaries and it can access unexplored depths of our inner selves. It also has a deep cleansing and protective quality. In pre-Columbian Central America, obsidian blades were used as surgical instruments due to their extremely sharp edges and the shiny surface of Obsidian provided excellent scrying tools in the shape of circular mirrors. Because of its’ fluid energy, obsidian helps to access spirit guides and provides support to those who undertake shamanic journey work. It can make us encounter our shadow sides in a positive manner and helps us to realise the importance of our soul’s growth.
For the healing ceremony, lie down in a comfortable place. Place the Obsidian on your Hara point (or Tan Tien), which is located below your navel, above your sacral chakra, this is the gate to your soul and life purpose. Imagine how the earthy and sensual black colour is balancing your Hara point and flowing down to your sacral, root and knee chakras, down to your feet, toes and connecting to Mother Earth. Then sense how the Obsidian energy is travelling upwards through your solar plexus, throat, third eye and crown chakras and beyond to your soul star. Sense how the vibration of Obsidian is connecting all your chakras and energetic pathways in your whole body. Stay in the sacred energy of the Obsidian and feel how your soul is connecting to your whole being, and beyond. Note any messages you receive at this point.
Take a deep breath and say thank you to Obsidian and its’ healing gift.
You can repeat this practice when you wish to cleanse your body, mind and soul and connect to your soul’s mystery and discover it’s purpose.
