About Daykeeper Journal

Maya del Mar, Founder and Guiding Light

Maya del mar

World-renowned astrologer Maya del Mar started Daykeeper Journal online in September of 2000. Maya combined nearly 40 years of astrological work with keen intuitive skills and a lifetime of teaching and counseling experience to provide her readers and clients with insightful and humanistic astrological guidance.

She was a skillful writer with a gift for combining the personal with the political in a wise and thoughtful way. Until her sudden passing in November of 2006, she single-handedly wrote most of every issue. In fact, her last act on this earth was writing Daykeeper’s monthly forecast.  Her presence is deeply missed.

Here are Maya’s own words about the birth of Daykeeper Journal:

In 1994 James Redfield began to publish his monthly newsletter, The Celestine Journal, a “journal of synchronicity,” with a focus on consciousness and healing. Ann Buzenberg, in North Carolina, was the editor, and I was the astrology writer.

In 1998 James quit publishing his Celestine Journal. Ann and I took the plunge, and we took it over. We needed our own name, and Ann suggested Daykeeper.

This name, Daykeeper, resonates strongly for me. In the first place, this is my work, “keeping the days,” honoring the uniqueness of each special day through telling its story as I see it in the heavens.

Furthermore, I have a special affinity with Mexico, and there the Daysign Calendar of the indigenous people was basic in determining destiny. Each day was marked by one of 20 day signs, as was each 13-day “week,” and the daykeeper-astrologer determined a person’s character and life path by the day he/she was born.

Most of the day signs have nature names, and I resonate to that as well.

So when Ann’s life went elsewhere, and I began the web version of Daykeeper, I simply kept the name—with many thanks to Ann.

A simple, easy to read book about the Mayan daysigns is DAY-SIGNS, a fine book by Bruce Scofield. He interprets these ancient Central American day signs in western terms, and on the basis of experience in our modern world. There is amazing congruity between the traditional meanings and the current meanings which Bruce has discovered. You can find your day sign and check for yourself!“

Here at Daykeeper, Maya and her purpose are vividly alive in our hearts and minds as a beacon of inspiration as we carry on the caring, meticulous and adventurous spirit of her life’s work.

Sara Diamond

Sara R. Diamond, Astrologer and Author
Sara Diamond

Sara Diamond began on a spiritual path at age 14, first with the practice of yoga and meditation. At 18, she became a Sufi initiate. At 40, her spiritual grounding shifted to vipassana meditation and the theravadan Buddhist tradition. More recently, coinciding with becoming a student of astrology, she has become a student of shamanism, and her meditation practice has shifted as such.

Since 2015, she has been immersed in the study of astrology through numerous courses and apprenticeship programs.  Her teachers have included evolutionary astrologer Daniel Fiverson, Julija Simas of the Cosmic Intelligence Agency, and Tony Howard and the team of astrologers with Astrology University, among many others.

The thread through all the twists and turns of Sara’s life has been a quest for union with the Divine and opportunities to offer my intellectual strengths in service.

Now in her 60s, she is integrating a wealth of life experience. Astrology is a gift, from the Sky itself, and from the astrological ancestors who, for millennia, have kept alive the study of the cycles of time.  It’s a gift she’d like to share with you. Visit Sara’s site.
