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

Believe in Your Creative Work

Monday’s Tarot Message from the Muse, 4/7/2014

Theme, Faith. From the Major Arcana, this card emphasizes belief, faith in yourself and in your work. Act, create, move from that place of surety in who you are, what you do that rises from the traditions of your work, your level of experience and a trust in your abilities.

Focus, Ace of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire representing Spirit, career, work, creativity. Ace is the beginning, the seed with all possibilities. Focus this week on the project that is ready to begin, the project that holds that fiery energy of passion and desire within it. What is that project? What do you need to do in order to begin it?

Action, 10 of Swords. Swords is the element of Air representing mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, communications. All those Swords coming at you. How will you respond? By letting them immobilize. Or will you shed them, feel them only as minor pricks that make you aware but not fearful. You can’t stop them from coming at you. Instead, choose how you will respond.

Gift, Hanging Man. Another Major Arcana card giving you time this week to stop, not out of fear or because others try to do so but because you choose to stop. You choose to suspend motion and action in favor of intuition and reflection, so as to receive new insights and perspectives on your creative work.
