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

Acknowledge Your Ability to Inspire Others’ Creativity

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 10/28/24

Theme, 6 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career, and work. Six is a number of sharing, generosity, and unequal relationships. Here, the figure stands above the crowd, a laurel wreath denoting victory behind him. Whatever the challenges and struggles you’ve experienced in your creative work, you’ve been able to overcome them and in doing so have the ability to inspire others’ creativity. Acknowledge and celebrate that.

Focus, 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 this Queen is committed to truth, unpretentious communication, and new ideas. How can you model that this week around your creative work? How will you use your creative successes to inspire others, helping them to understand the commitment necessary to create authentically, in spite of challenges and struggles?

Action, Page of Swords. Swords again, but this time with the youthful energy of the Page. This Page is particularly suited to work with the Six of Wands, because this Page is about serving the creative work without ego, only enthusiasm and the wisdom that comes with experience. If you are willing to inspire others with your work and your experience on the creative path, then do it without ego, with a desire only to encourage and mentor others.

Gift, 5 of Swords. Swords again but this time with a card that initially doesn’t look like much of a gift. However, the Five is usually a point of conflict or challenge,so your gift is an understanding or insight on the best way for you–and perhaps others–to meet those creative challenges. You are given the gift of a pattern or structure for finding solutions to them more easily that takes into account your limitations.
