Weekly Wisdom by Mirasol – 21 January 2020
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.

Monthly Muses by Flavia – January 2020
The outlook for January 2020 is looking favourable and prosperous. However, the key element is that we have to put in the work. And we have to be practical and scrupulous about it. Here we are working within the rules of tradition and within the pre-established structures. It requires us to apply critical thinking while adhering to a higher realm in morality and aesthetics. With the Six of Wands the year kicks in busy. And there is movement. There will be lots happening and conflicting assignments, commitments, opportunities, people and events will demand our attention. Our input will decide which way things are going to go, as well as our discernment to choose where we are channelling our energy wisely.
With the Six of Wands we are not just cruising in victorious – the card normally shows a nobleman on a horse in front of a background of sticks and crowned with a wreath symbolizing success – but our achievements are aligned per force with higher values. There is nobility of sentiment and there is a fight for noble causes that will gain us success and recognition. In this deck there is so much more to think about. There is partnership, serenity, a sense of fulfilment, and a tribe, a vast group of like-minded people, people with whom we share common ground that depend on us or look up to us for strength. So it is also a card about leadership of purpose. Others will look to us for guidance.
This is a sombre, serious month loaded with responsibility. But the gifts are coming. They are the rewards of our efforts and they will bring strength and further support to grow and develop outside our confines. The rewards will be tangible and they will come from the outside suddenly and unexpectedly. And they will compensate us in the material sense. As the Ace of Pentacles sits right in the centre of the spread we can only assume that this event, or series of practical and auspicious events, will actually dominate the month. It will be generous and absolutely depended on our own work and sense of worth, and it will lead effortlessly to the Emperor. The Emperor could be the person we become or a person who will turn up into our lives to lend us support. The Emperor is the paramount figure of knowing the self and of self confidence. The Emperor and the number IV represent structure as well. So initiation and structure is where this month is taking us. We are in for the long game. The Emperor is standing on a pedestal suggesting we better accept our elevated status and of those we associate with.
By the end of January we will find ourselves in a different place to where we started at the beginning. While looking towards the past, we are bringing it with us into the future. We are not divorced from our heritage or history or anything that has come before, because that is the basis of our strength and our security. This is clearly a process of maturation taking place throughout the month where we are standing alone in change, and responsible. The Emperor is the Masculine principle and symbol of experience.
We are looking to a dynamic and transformative month ahead bringing in experiences of higher rank and higher authority. The theme of the influencer and the presence of rules and regulations runs concurrently. Keep strong and don’t loose the focus. The gains have the potential to surpass any expectations for passion, power and wisdom.

Monthly Muses by Flavia – November 2019
Rejoice for November! Well, sort of. Not exactly. But at least the Tower is behind us now, and so are all the fast moving upheavals of October. We have entered Scorpio season and all the big planets are charging ahead. Here we have three minor arcana cards to ease us through this transformative season. It wasn’t all bad. There was adventure, achievements, dreaming and passions. The self exploded in creativity. The turbulent emotions of September and October’s manifestations have given way to the weariness of battle. There is a sense of exhaustion. The summertime has wrapped up and we are within the depths of autumn holding onto the energy of change. The most contradictory set of expressions are emerging.
In the 5 of Swords we too are moving away to somewhere else. We are collecting what has been left behind, and only the basics that we can walk away with. Because while we are still looking back, whatever it was that was going on, has come to an end. So November is the beginning of a different state of being. We are certainly not thrilled but we have survived. Perhaps there was deception and perhaps there was just too much going on to cope with. And perhaps there was loss. A scattered energy that involved others has thrown us off course. This is the day after the day before.
The 4 of Pentacles certainly is an indication that we are left trying to hold on to something material to make up for either loss and sadness from the past, or a fearful projection of the future. There is stillness. Around us there is abundance but we are not interested. Looks like we have limited our identity to a material possession. We are holding on tight to representations of wealth while we are frozen in activity or motivation. And perhaps this is the time to be practical in our approach to remove stagnation or negativity that results in us becoming immobile and entrenched.
The 8 of pentacles shows us the way out. If we are tired from the fight and have become stuck in a situation that goes nowhere, we can fall back on our skills and talents. We can immerse ourselves in study, work, creativity. Away from the madding crowd we can find our truth. With repetition and care for detailed work we can transcend. This is about mastery in everyday life. The lesson is clear.
With Mercury going retrograde in Scorpio for three weeks the focus is about knowing ourselves and being clever with our hands, going over things and perfecting, slowly moving and repeating tasks. Whatever we engage with and put our energy into is for the long term. So act wisely, be methodical, humble, filter out the noise, you’ve got everything you need to excel.
This month will end very differently to how it’s starting! It will be transformative and our mastery will be impactful! There is light in the dark. We are enlightened. And the light spreads for others out in the world as we become one with nature!
