“The ultimate call of the Muses in contemporary life is to live a creative and authentic life.” Angeles Arrien

Focus on Fulfillment of Creative Goals

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 3/20/2023

Theme, 9 of Cups. Cups is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, creativity and intuition. Nine is a number of completion and achievement. Look for moments this week when you might be tempted to let creative achievements and the fulfillment of creative goals slip by unnoticed. Don’t. Celebrate every achievement, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. Even better? Celebrate them with friends and loved ones. Each achievement or fulfillment of a goal is a step to even greater creative success.

Focus, 9 of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and communication. Nine, again is completion and intensity of the element or suit, here an intensity of thoughts, worries, fears. What are you worrying about even in the midst of achievements and success? What scares you about that success or new work coming after? What makes you feel threatened even in the safety of your own bed? What is eating at your dreams?

Action, The Wheel of Fortune. This Major Arcana card suggests that you acknowledge that yes, there will always be things to worry about, always the possibility of failures, but the Wheel always turns. The success, the dream, the fulfillment of creative goals is always there on the other side of the Wheel. Stay centered, adapt, be flexible, and you’ll ride the ups and downs with more confidence, less fear. And better sleep.

Gift, Strength. And this Major Arcana card, coming in this position, reminds you to be open to gifts of grace. Riding the Wheel is easier if you call upon compassion and patience, serenity and persistence to stay centered and take constructive action. You are reminded that you have what is necessary, an internal fortitude that can be called upon.
