Ablaze with golden rays of light, my star quality shines bright.

MOONLIT CODEWORDS
BEWITCH, EXPRESS, SHINE

MOONBEAM INSIGHT
Blessed radiant star, you have created a universe filled with so much beauty. When you see a spectacular sunset, you are reminded to treasure poignant experiences. When you help someone in need, you express the beauty within you as an act
of kindness.
Goddess Mayari guides you to walk in beauty to capture the essence of your divinity. Beauty is both a path you choose to take and what frames the actual pathway. In the brilliance of creation, you see its outer beauty. In integrity and compassion, you recognise its inner expressions.
Start every day with the belief that beauty is everywhere just waiting for you to notice it. Allow yourself to sense its impact upon your soul. Some visions and observations will stop you in your tracks and take your breath away. Others will be more subtle but equally sublime. Consciously make your actions a reflection of the beauty all around you. Relish every precious moment. Stop, breathe and sense the sacredness in everything. Nourish your spirit by observing beauty in nature, simple abundance and loving moments.
The beauty of your heart is reflected on your face as it beams out from within your soul. Your authentic self is who you are at your core. It is the expression of your soul through all your quirks and strengths and provides you with genuine gratification and pleasure.
Learn the art of sharing your authentic and true essence wholeheartedly with others. Your authenticity is the embodied alignment of body, heart, mind and spirit. Do not be afraid to share your authentic self with the world as that is what makes you beautiful to the people who truly matter.
MOON GUIDE: MAYARI
Goddess Mayari exemplifies the Divine Feminine as a powerful force which guides the soul to soar. She will help you tap into your full potential, ignite your passions and bring them to light. She is the enchantress who captivates the beauty of the glistening moon and stars.
MOON PHASE: FULL MOON
The Full Moon amplifies your authentic spirit and natural beauty. It aids you to release any self-loathing patterns and beliefs and to embrace self-loving paradigms instead. Magnify your radiant light under the Full Moonlight. Get grounded and release unwanted energy.
FULL MOON RITUAL
Look deeply at yourselt in the mirror and witness your inner and outer beauty. Have an intuitive conversation with your soul's voice. Focus on your natural gifts, strengths and qualities.
Look into your eyes and embrace your true sell. spend some time admiring your attributes and acknowledge what it is you love about you.
BEAUTY SPELL CHANT
On this Full Moon night, I ignite my soul light. Moonshine, starlight, infuse my body temple with love. As a flower is granted beauty, let me blossom in your light - the light that brings me true beauty and grants me life.
ARTIST PROSE
Lingers graze of sensual's brush, hypnotic veils allure, Ethereal waves tides flush and full in regal imperial grace, Seductions weave of moon, of primal, of wild in flame, Sheer folds they coil and wind in delicious magics wake, Sacred fires bare and round ignite in lust and curve, Upon thee thine freedom of taste, of thrills,
Devoted blaze of passions embrace in bask of glories song, Sweeps the celestial keen through you and yours,
Bewitched,
'Til you are beauty reborn...

2026 Year at a Glance for ♉️ Ta**us (April 19-May 20)

This year may find you stepping into positions of wisdom and leadership. Whereas you may have found your comfort zone in supporting the ideas and plans of others, this year is all about you amplifying your voice and values. Pluto in Aquarius will challenge you to examine your career path and ensure you're on the right trajectory. People will start noticing your past struggles and turning them into strengths and may even look to you as a role model. You can lead within your community, but this will only happen if you live in your truth.
It's essential to maintain clear boundaries, particularly in romantic relationships. Be careful with Airtations and casual affairs, as these distractions will work against you. Pluto's energy has no patience for duplicity. Double down on transparency and integrity, especially as others look to you for guidance.
Uranus in retrograde at the beginning of 2026 will ask you to reflect on how you've resisted change in the past. This reflection will allow you to identify where you've created your own barriers. Working through these obstacles will build the leadership muscles your community needs.
Stand firm in your beliefs—you'll thrive by staying authentic and remembering that people respect you for your integrity, not for what you think they want to sonisha Holmes ® Mother Tongue Ink 2025

Card of the Day

Six of Cups

KEYWORDS
Integrating memory
Reunion
Exchange

Meaning: Sixes represent the place of balance, meeting and union. At the level of the heart, linear time ceases to exist. The mind uses linear time to break up experience into past and present, but in the heart there is pure feeling, which is not bounded by time. Instead, past and present merge and there is only love, or any number of other feelings.
Receiving this card in a reading may mean that you are working on integrating the gifts and the experiences of your past - your childhood, or even past lives - with your consciousness in the present.
Nothing is ever lost to the heart, which is why you can meet those you love after a gap of years or even decades, and still experience the same feelings. For this reason, the card may represent a reunion with an old friend or lover, or a re-establishing of a relationship with a person, group or place which held a significance for you in the past.
Sixes also represent the exchanges that occur between two people or two levels of awareness, and so this card may be referring to an exchange of gifts or feeling, or it could refer to a heartfelt exchange between you and your surroundings. You might be developing a deep affinity for Nature, for your garden or for animals and trees, or you may be deepening your connections with your own sense of home - beautifying your house, for example.
Reverse meaning Revisiting the past is not always a pleasant experience.
You may be releasing old wounds and difficult memories, or you may be clinging inappropriately to someone or to an event that has long since ceased to be of value to you. Sometimes attending to the past is vital if we are to grow and learn, but at other times we need to let go of our attachments to events that have already occurred.
