MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 5/15/2023
Theme, The Tower This Major Arcana card is about destruction but with purpose, to liberate you from old structures, patterns, and foundations, and transform you or the current situation. This shake up of your old ways of creating allows for new creative directions in your work, or new opportunities in your career. If you’ve become too comfortable or stuck in a creative rut, look for moments or periods this week when you can hear the rumbling and feel the vibrations of the breakdown of your creative comfort zone. It’s time to try something new.
Focus, 5 of Wands Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career, and work. Five in the tarot is a point of challenge and conflict. Your focus this week is looking at how you are willing to strive, compete, and challenge yourself in your creative work. How will you set priorities for your creative work in order to move out of that creative comfort zone? How will you test yourself? Through contests? Marketing? Performance? Submissions to agents, editors, houses? Are you willing to be uncomfortable through the process?
Action, 8 of Cups Cups is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, intuition and creativity. Eight is a number of movement, and here the movement is away from the past, as painful or as challenging as that movement might be. The movement away from projects or relationships that are no longer significant, healthy, or rewarding maybe hard but necessary in order to move toward the new creative dream, vision, or purpose. Walk through the door and close it behind you.
Gift, Ace of Wands Wands again, the element of Fire and the passion arising from it. The Ace in the tarot is the primary card with its purest energy, containing all the potential of the suit. If you accept and use the shakeup of the Tower to challenge yourself with new ideas and work, leaving the past and old ways behind, then you receive the gift of new creative work, a new creative opportunity, a new passion for your creative work. Getting out of your creative comfort zone leads to new and exciting possibilities if you are willing to accept the gift and follow where it leads.
