Time for a Clear Perspective on Your Creative Work

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 1/8/2024

Theme, Queen of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communication. The Queen is the mistress of the element and suggests that before you can communicate clearly about the unique qualities and benefits of your creative work, it’s important to get a clear perspective on the goals for your work as you start this new year. Don’t hesitate to cut through expectations, demands, and the way it’s always done. See with clear, bright eyes.

Focus, 2 of Cups. Cups is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, and creativity. Two is a number of choice, decision, balance, and partnerships. What do you need to bring balance into your creative work, not just the work itself but your day-to-day investment of time and energy and emotions? Do you need to be part of a critique group, or find a mentor or coach to help you achieve your goals this year? Are you looking for someone who perceives and understands the vision you hold for your work?

Action, 3 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire, in the realm of spirit, creativity, career, and work. Three is a dynamic number of momentum, creativity, and planning. If you haven’t done so yet, this is a good time to clarify goals, create a plan for at least the next quarter (three months). This clear perspective will help you be ready to meet new opportunities for you and your work.

Gift, Strength. This Major Arcana card offers you the gift of fortitude (inner strength) and courage to make those plans for your creative work a reality. It also offers compassion when you stumble or are momentarily caught by fear. Remember your plans, your goals and tap into your bravery to keep moving forward.
