Slam Shut the Window on Self-Doubt

MONDAY’S TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 6/24/2019

Theme, 7 of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communication. Seven is an awareness of the need for action. This week, be aware of when you need to slam shut the window of self-doubt that might keep you from completing your creative project. If you let you or others sabotage your confidence, then your ability to complete and move your work out into the world will be hampered or stolen.

Focus, 2 of Cups. Cups is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, intuition, and creativity. Two is about choice, decision or partnership. This week, ask yourself if it is time to consider collaborating with someone on a creative project. Collaboration helps push back doubts and lack of confidence. Who could you be collaborating with? Your Muse? Your agent? Another creative?

Action, 10 of Swords. Again, Swords is Air, having to do with the mind, thoughts, beliefs and communication. Ten is a tipping point where you finish up before beginning anew. Here, before you can get the new idea for the next project, you have to do more than slam shut the window of self-doubt. You have to let all the criticisms, critiques and concerns sluice off you, like water off a duck’s back, if you want to put your work out in the world and keep moving forward. Otherwise, all those words impale you, stall you. Release, let go, blow it all off.

Gift, Knight of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career and work. The Knight is the champion, the one who serves and protects, who has the training and the resources to do his job. The Gift this week is an ability to be the Knight of Wands who sallies forth on his adventure, letting nothing stand in his way. If you release the doubts and concerns, you are gifted with the ability to move forward in your creativity with passion and excitement, letting nothing stand in your way.
