2025.08.19NewsWelcome to the Hoshi no Mai website!

Welcome to the Hoshi no Mai website!
I am Mai Kaibe, an astrologer, writer, and teacher based in Japan. I began studying Western astrology in 2014, and by 2015 I had set out independently, founding Hoshi no Mai. This year marks the 10th anniversary of my work.
Hoshi no Mai is a Japanese phrase meaning “the dance of the stars.” It also carries a personal connection, as my name, Mai, means “dance.” Western astrology interprets the spiralling movements of the planets, so the name reflects both my own identity and the cosmic rhythm that inspires my work.
Encountering astrology transformed my life into something truly meaningful and fulfilling. If you would like to know more about my journey, please see the Message and History sections of this site.

I look forward to sharing this space with you.
Why an English website?
For many years, my writing and teaching have been centred in Japan. Yet I have always felt that the wisdom of the stars is something universal—something that can inspire and guide people everywhere. Creating an English website has long been a dream of mine, and I am truly delighted that it is finally becoming reality. Through this site, I hope to connect with readers across the world who are curious about astrology and who, like me, seek a deeper understanding of themselves and their path in life.
The gift of astrology
Astrology is not only about prediction; it is about insight. It reveals the cycles of time and the spiral of cosmic energy in which we all live. When I first encountered astrology, I discovered that my own life was woven into a much greater pattern—one that gave meaning, direction, and hope. Since then, astrology has been my constant companion, helping me to guide others in their own journeys of self-discovery.
What you can expect here
On this blog, I will be sharing reflections on the New Moon and Full Moon, articles on the Sabian Symbols, and explorations of the twelve zodiac signs. Some posts will be educational, offering a foundation for those who wish to learn astrology more deeply. Others will be more contemplative, inviting you simply to receive the inspiration of the stars in everyday life.
I warmly invite you to return often, to read, to reflect, and to dance with the stars alongside me.
