Inspire and Be Inspired

MONDAY’S TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 11/16/2015

Theme, The Star. This Major Arcana card can represent hope, healing, inspiration, illumination, insight and the promise of a better day. After the events of last week, surely we need this card and its healing energy. So look for opportunities to inspire and be inspired in your creative work. Our creativity is a gift for healing and new life.

Focus, 10 of Cups. Cups is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, intuitions and creativity. Sense the contentment and peace of this picture. There is a strong feeling of being at home here. So this week, ask yourself, where am I most at home, most at peace with my creative work? Is it a certain type of project, a certain place for working, a certain time of day?

Action, 5 of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communications. Five in the tarot is a number of challenge or change. In this suit, the five is especially challenging, and portrays a sense of possible defeat but certainly one of being embattled. This week, pick your verbal battles carefully. In order to keep hold of that inspiration and at-home-ness, watch your engagement on social media. Use your writing and creativity for your work…

Gift, 5 of Cups. Cups, again, is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, creativity. And here we have the challenging five again but in the position of gift. So what could possibly be the gift? The gift is a shift that allows you to move from the place of grieving what is lost to an awareness that you still have something to offer, those creative gifts that can inspire and heal others. The gift is an invitation to return to your inspiring work.
