MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 5/1/2023
Theme, 9 of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts,beliefs, attitudes, and communication. Nine is a number of intensity of the element, moving toward completion. Here the intensity is that of creative fears, real or unreal, that chase you into sleep and then wake you with worry and nightmares. This week, be aware of your creative fears and face them during the day so they don’t chase you into your dreams. Then take action to deal with them.
Focus, The Emperor. This Major Arcana card is about the structure of power, more specifically about the rules of society and tradition. It’s also about what provides structure–knowledge, discipline, order, and reason. Is it time to consider your need to follow the rules and expectations of something outside yourself? Like the rules of your creative tradition or of the ways to succeed in it? Do you need to break with tradition or rules? Is it time to create some order in your workspace as well as your mind (9 of Swords)? Do you need to enthrone yourself in your creative vision and experience?
Action, 2 of Coins. Coins is the element of Earth in the realm of home, health, and wealth, anything physical. Two is a number of choice, decision, partnership and balance. This week, in order to keep your balance, take action on your creative work to move it from idea or vision into physical reality. Focusing on how to do that will diminish fears and help you keep your balance with your work and its place in the world.
Gift, Nine of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career, and work. The reading begins with a Nine and ends with one, an intensity of the element moving toward completion. Because it is in the position of a gift, then the gift is one of perseverance, but also inspiration and the strength to continue forward–if you do the work of the previous cards.
