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.

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.

Weekly Wisdom by Mirasol – 9 December 2019
The Soma Goddess from The Mystic Sisters deck by Emily Balivet comes forward as our guide this week. Beautifully illustrated, the serene Soma Goddess is standing among three impressive red and white striped mushrooms. The ground beneath her and the horizon behind her are patterned with flowers. She rests her head to her left side, as if in a dream state, perhaps in deep meditation and/or in an exhilarating state in the psychedelic landscape.
Soma is a Vedic Sanskrit word meaning distil, extract, or sprinkle, and it is used in the context of rituals. In Vedic times, soma refers to a hallucinogenic or intoxicating liquid, made from a plant or fungus, consumed during ceremony and offered to the Gods. Soma is also used to describe the nectar secreted from the pineal gland during deep states of meditation. In yoga, soma refers to the crown chakra, opened by yogic insight, to release bliss throughout the body.
The message of the Soma Goddess is one of wholeness, integrity and being centred. She wants us to know that we are fully part of this world and all of its’ experiences. Every step on our journey is a path of growth and during this we remain whole, even if we may not feel as such. Wholeness is our birthright and knowing this gives us peace. You are exactly where you are meant to be at this moment.
With the full moon in Gemini arriving on Thursday, 12 December, we are reminded to integrate our two sides, the male and the female, the dark and the light, the receptive and the giving. The Soma Goddess knows how to flow between the wet and the dry, the solar and the lunar, the active and the passive. She utilises the knowledge through her body and soul to achieve wholeness and integration. Be alert and observe how you can utilise your own twin energetic supplies of female and male to navigate through the awakenings the full moon brings.

Stay in meditation for 5 to 10 minutes.
After the meditation, journal about the below questions.
Are you balanced in your female and male energies?
How can you step through the barriers of either energy consuming your actions?
Additional practice – healing your heart with Mangano Calcite
Mangano Calcite is a calming and gently grounding opaque stone, a calcium carbonate, rich in manganese, which creates its’ beautiful pale pink colour. Mangano Calcite will help you to understand and unfold your heart’s desires. It will heal any on-going negative patterns in your ancestral feminine lineage and releases these by bringing a feeling of safety and grandmotherly comfort. Mangano Calcite connects the higher heart to the heart chakra and increases our awareness of spiritual love and self-love. It helps you to fully accept yourself as you are. Mangano Calcite brings love and compassion into you life and it will strengthen any area of your life where love is lacking.
For the healing ceremony, lie down in a comfortable place. Place the Mangano Calcite between your higher heart and your heart chakra. Imagine how the pale pink colour is calming your higher heart and your heart chakra, providing nourishment for this area. Sense how the lovely pale pink energy is spreading down your solar plexus, sacral, root and knee chakras, down to your feet and toes, connecting you to Mother Earth. Feel how the Mangano Calcite energy is travelling upwards through your throat, third eye, crown chakra and beyond, to your soul star. Sense how the vibration of Mangano Calcite is creating a loving feeling in your whole body. Stay in the comforting energy of Mangano Calcite and feel how your heart chakras are opening to a greater sense of belonging. Note any messages you receive at this point.
Take a deep breath and say thank you to Mangano Calcite and its’ healing gift.
You can repeat this practice when you wish to ground and heal anything that is on your heart’s mind. It will bring you a feeling of wholeness and peace.

Weekly Wisdom by Mirasol – 24 November 2019
This week we will look at the Big Picture card from the Earth Wisdom Oracle by Barbara Moore. A woman is sitting in front of a circular stone shield carved with the triple spiral and the triquetra motifs. She is magically receiving a glowing key from the ground. Belladonna, the highly poisonous and hallucinogenic plant, is growing around her.
The card brings a threefold message, to step back from chaos into calm, to see the bigger picture and to trust that the key will be revealed. What will you let go of? What do you desire? Are you ready to receive? The symbolism of the number three is further present in the triquetra and the triple spiral. The triquetra is a symbol of the unifying spirit of trinity, spirit, nature and the Goddess Brigid. The triple spiral is a symbol of life’s movement in everlasting cycles which creates power through transformation and growth. What three areas of your life can you pay attention to now? Earth, sea, sky. Mind, body, spirit. Past, present, future. Life, death, rebirth. Spiritual, intellectual, emotional. Plant, animal, mineral?
The presence of the Belladonna plant, the beautiful lady, which was used by women in Renaissance Italy to dilate their pupils, indicates that we have to open our sight on all levels, to be able to see the bigger picture. Belladonna’s other name Deadly Nightshade is derived from the plant’s usage as poison, and in this instance its’ message is to cut away that which is not in your future vision anymore. Letting go of the excess and chaos will provide the key to call in that which you desire.
Considering the message of this card within the current cosmic activities, we can understand the bigger picture, as explained by Flavia here. Now we are given the key, and if we let go of all expectations of what success should look like and instead focus on our Goddess-like feminine qualities, we will receive the opportunities we whole-heartedly deserve. In gratitude, sincerity and with love.

Sit down in a quiet space. Take a few deep breaths and relax.
Focus on the image of the card. Observe how the woman is magically given the key to her dreams from the earth. The carved triple spiral and triquetras are calling in the power of three. The Belladonna growing around the woman is mesmerising and opening your inner sight.
Stay in meditation for 5 to 10 minutes.
After the meditation, journal about the below questions.
Are you ready to let go of all expectations to step forward in grace?
What are your three magical qualities?
Additional practice – honouring the divine feminine with black moonstone
Black Moonstone is the dark variety of its’ white sister. It belongs to the orthoclase feldspar family of crystals and exhibits a surface of waxy lustrous shimmer. Black Moonstone is connected to the moon’s cycles and the Moon Goddess herself. It will help you to access your dreams and bring insight how to follow the feminine path to realise them. It has a calming, soothing energy which helps to balance excess of masculine fire which may have been accumulated. Black Moonstone enhances energy healing and provides Goddess protection for those who follow the lunar path. It brings clarity and mystic revelations during meditation. Moonstone in general has been used to enhance fertility and to balance the female reproductive organs. The black variety is connected to the Black Madonna and Mary Magdalene and heals feminine wounding.
For the healing ceremony, lie down in a comfortable place. Place the Black Moonstone on your sacral chakra. Imagine how the watery fluidity of the Moonstone is entering your sacral chakra and spreading down your hips, legs, feet and toes, and connecting to the Earth Goddess below. Then, sense how the Moonstone energy is travelling upwards through your solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and crown chakra, and beyond, to connect to the Moon Goddess above. Sense how the vibration of Black Moonstone is creating a soothing and calming feeling in your whole body. Stay in the divine feminine energy of Black Moonstone and feel how your body, mind and soul are united. Note any messages you receive at this point.
Take a deep breath and say thank you to Black Moonstone and its’ healing gift.
Repeat this practice as often as you wish to connect to your divine feminine and to receive nourishment and peace.
