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

Finish that Creative Project!

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 5/2/2016

Theme, 9 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career, and work. Nine is a number of completion. You can see how worn down and tired this warrior is. Look this week for creative projects that are overdue in being finished. You’ve carried it or them long enough.

Focus, King of Cups. The King (and Queen) are masters of the element, in this case the element of Water. Water represents emotions, dreams, intuition and creativity. Last week, we had the Queen of Cups with her total immersion in the work. This week, we have the King who does not allow emotions to overwhelm him in his work. Rather, he keeps a little distance, a little perspective on the creative depths. How do you need to detach yourself from your work this week just enough to get perspective on it? This is especially important for those finishing touches and letting go of the work.

Action, Ace of Coins. Coins is the element of Earth in the realm of home, health, wealth, and the physical. Ace is the beginning with all potential and possibility contained in it. Your action this week is to begin to physically manifest your new creative project. Write the first page, sketch the elements of the new painting, write the first bars. Plant the seed and watch it begin to grow.

Gift, Temperance. Temperance is a Major Arcana card so an important gift for you this week. Temperance brings the gift of alchemy, of change and transformation by combining two energies–fire and water–at the highest level. And the gift of inner balance that comes with doing our creative work.
