Champion Your Creative Work with Love

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 8/5/2019

Theme, Knight of Cups. Cups is the element of Water, in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, intuition and creativity. The Knight is the champion, the figure with training, equipment and know-how to go out and serve and protect their realm. This week, look for opportunities to be the Knight, to champion your creative work with love, to serve from a place of deep love for your work and your audience. From that place of love, you overcome the monsters (fear, doubts, etc.) of the deep.

Focus, High Priestess. This Major Arcana card is about the guardian of the threshold, the gatekeeper to a deeper knowledge and understanding of the mysteries and wisdom of your creative work. This week, ask how you are the High Priestess of it. What deep wisdom and knowledge do you bring to the surface for yourself and your audience through your creative work? How do you serve your audience with this wisdom or knowledge?

Action, Devil. Another Major Arcana, the Devil is often about bonds, addictions, or someone with power over you. This week, take action to take your hands away from your eyes, to look clearly and bravely at what bonds hold you back, that keep you from creating and putting your work out in the world with love, sharing the wisdom and knowledge you’ve tapped into. Don’t let fear hold you back. Look that Devil in the eye.

Gift, 7 of Cups. Back in the suit of Cups, the 7 of Cups is usually about too many distractions, being too easily pulled away from your work. Because it is in the position of Gift this week, then be aware that when you champion your creative work with love, you receive the gift of focus, of being able to more easily shut out distractions in order to create. Love for your work makes it possible.
