MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 10/30/23
Theme, 8 of Cups. Cups is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, and creativity. Eight is a number of movement and nearing completion. This week, it’s time to allow yourself to let go of creative projects that aren’t going anywhere. Instead, look ahead, move toward the brighter vision, and start on that new creative project. Let go of regrets and emotional attachments to what might have been.
Focus, Ace of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and communication. Ace is the beginning in the tarot and a gift from Spirit. What is the gift offered to you? A new idea for a book or play or poem? A new podcast? A new landscape or portrait? Don’t let it escape into the morass of “someday”. Focus and get clear on it, make notes and plans.
Action, 10 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career, and work. Ten is a number of completion and preparing to begin again. It is also a number of excess. You see the man worn down by his burden. This week, relieve yourself of projects and responsibilities you’ve carried long enough. The dog in the background tells you to trust your instincts about this and then come play. You can’t be creative if you’re exhausted.
Gift, 5 of Coins. This fourth suit of the Minor Arcana, Coins, is the realm of the body, anything physical, home, health, and wealth. Five is a point of conflict. The conflict here is one of negating your own needs for others. As a gift, this is an opportunity to take care of yourself as you leave old projects, and take steps to start on that new creative project. Rest, eat well, relax, restore. Then create.
