Starcodes Astro Oracle: A 56-Card Deck and Guidebook

I bought these as I am interested in Astrology (but I don't much knowledge of the subject). You don't have to know astrology btw, they come with a detailed guide book. The illustrations are beautiful and I am always so intrigued just how the author came up with this great idea! I always get great readings with these cards. For intuitive readers, you can read the cards rather well from the illustration and get the feel of each card. I do also check out the guide book for my readings. After using the cards for a while, I do now keep these cards for specific career/time-based readings. They are great to gain an overview of a situation for yourself, as well as conducting readings for other people.

This is a really interesting, stunningly created and powerful deck. 56 cards that are all beautifully and cleverly illustrated and are all astrology based. So it is perfect for anyone not comfortable with Tarot but at ease with astrology and wanting to explore their intuition and learn about astrology. The cards are divided into groups: The signs of the Zodiac, the houses, aspects and patterns, locations, nodes, asteroids, the qualities, solar activity. So the deck works with both a view to learning more about astrology as well as a very powerful oracle tool. So you can create a spread, pull one card or as Heather puts it in her clear and friendly guide 'have a conversation with the cards'. The cards are all numbered so understanding the meanings and referring to her guide is straightforward. The cards feel beautiful, robust and tingly (to me!) and are printed on a matt finish. My only criticism is the guide needed to feel more substantial as it is a stand alone book in itself - written with knowledge and with heart and if it were available in hardback, perhaps with a cloth to lay out, designed with the astrological wheel, so I could place my chart, it would be even better - maybe the next print?

I only purchased these cards recently but I am finding them really good. Ok I have a knowledge of astrology which I think Would really help as you intuitively know where all the houses and signs and aspects are place. However it is a great deck with clear knowledge and I feel you don’t need to know too much info on the astrological side of things as it’s only really basic astrology, I think these cards will work well with tarot and oracle cards. They shuffle really well and contrary to what other people have said I find the card stock excellent on my actual deck. I find they are extremely informative and go very deep into what you are asking. A great deck which I am sure will be very useful as a unique tool.

Beautiful cards, lovely weight and texture, easy to shuffle and don't stick together. Beautifully illustrated, high vibration. The booklet contains guidance different to other decks.

While the artwork isn’t exactly my style, I’m really glad I chose this deck after doing a lot of research. I’ve been studying astrology and wanted something easy and quick to reference while reading charts, and this deck is perfect for that. It covers all the elements you find in a natal chart: planets, houses, signs, even asteroids (many I hadn’t seen mentioned elsewhere!) and more. It feels like one of the most complete astrology decks I’ve come across. The booklet includes upright and reversed meanings, so it works beautifully both as a learning tool and as an oracle deck. Plus, it shuffles smoothly. Excellent Hay House quality as always.

I bought these mainly for the artwork, and was not disappointed!! The cards are so unique and beautifully illustrated, I find myself often just looking through them in awe. But I can't in good confidence give this deck a full 5 stars because the cardstock itself, the cardboard, is pretty bad. Very thin, very bendy. After just a few shuffles, the cards bend out of shape, and the edges got little crinkles in them even when I'm being extra careful. Plus, one of my cards came with a damaged corner from what looks like a faulty cutting process (though I managed to mend it somewhat so it's less noticeable). All in all, wonderful deck! It even comes with a little guide book and a solid box to keep them in. If only the cardstock was higher quality, this would be a solid 5/5.

Definitely recommend this product. Stunning cards, scarily accurate in a reading Arrived early than expected- thank you You wont regret it buying it, as also the artwork on these cards is excellent.

I use those everyday , there amazing

Love all the themes and energy that come from these cards.

The biggest problem with Oracle decks is a lack of ideas, cohesiveness and inspiration. That's why Tarot is often preferred to just any other decks because it is perfectly constructed, is proven by time and has endless depth to study and explore to this day. That's why I am quite sceptical when it comes to Oracle decks as to make a good deck author and artist really need to dive deep and make something unique and inspiring. But, this one atracted me with stunning art and Astrology focused archetypes, something quite fresh, so I decided to get it. It did not dissapoint! The cards are just marvelous. The artwork is gorgeous, very geometric, it's very bold but also has many intricate details in it with various astrological symbols present. The deck system is well thought and aligns great with Oracle readings as well as Astrology archetypes. Cards are divied by many categories like Planets, Asteroids, Houses, Signs and also by less known aspects of Astrology like Cardinal Points or Aspects. And the best part is that you don't really need to know anything about Astrology. The guide book is quite small, but it is well written and can help you to understand the basics of how you can interpret each card for Action, Challenge of Gift. At the end of the day, you can use it just as any other Oracle deck if you wish. But, if you *do* know Astrology, or at least you are acknowledged with some basics like Planet archetypes and Zodiac signs (or eager to learn more), than you can enhance your readings a lot, make more meaningful geometrical spreads and understand deeper connections between cards, and in turn, archetypes and events of our lives. The production is good. Cards have that smooth, plastic and "expensive" feeling to them. That also means you can't really riffle shuffle them, but that's rather a minor inconveniece to me. Overall it's a great deck, good both as a gift and to have in a collection!

Very usefull

As per description, beautiful deck good quality

If you are already an astrologer or just started, this deck is definitely for you. The way it helps to provide the exact tarot reading is impeccable. The illustrations/ artwork is really beautiful with many details. Specific messages. This deck is definitely a good way to get more insights through astrological point of view, such precise readings.
