Be the King of your Creativity

Monday’s Tarot Message from the Muse, July 14, 2014

Theme, King of Swords. The King is the one with power and dominion, with confidence that emanates from within. Swords is the element of air, of mind, thoughts, beliefs attitudes, and communication. This King communicates and rules with utmost confidence in his personal and creative power to do so. No sword pointing or waving here. Just a quiet assurance in his message and his strength. This is the week to practice that quiet assurance in your creative power.

Focus, The Hanging Man. A Major Arcana card, The Hanging Man asks you, “When was the last time you stopped to take a look at where you’ve been, where you are, and where you’re going? Don’t you think this week would be a good time to do that? To suspend action at some point in order to gain new perspectives?”

Action, The Emperor. Another Major Arcana card that emphasizes the idea of the theme’s King of Swords, but combined with action. The Emperor takes charge and moves ahead in a powerful way, letting nothing stand in the way of his mission and his vision. This week, take charge and take action.

The Gift, King of Coins. It’s a week of rulers. You get to feel the power of manifesting abundance for yourself and others as the King of Coins. Coins is the material, physical realm of home, health and wealth. If you are confident in your creative power and move ahead when appropriate (after taking time for reflection), then you reap the rewards.
