Balance Creative Passions & Emotions

Monday’s Tarot Message from the Muse for the week of 7/29/2013

Theme, Temperance. The theme this week is one of elevating yourself enough to see clearly and be able to balance your creative passions and desires with your emotions. Creativity requires desire and will to manifest in physical form so bring those two together this week in your unique way.

Focus, 5 of Swords. Bottom line of this card is to pick your battles. Especially the verbal ones. Swords is the element of air, representing mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communications. So where do you want to take a stand verbally around your creative work? Where do you not want to waste precious creative time doing that? You could find yourself embroiled in verbal ping pong over issues that are not important if you aren’t careful.

Action, 5 of Coins. Sometimes it is so easy to get into that position of sitting and waiting for help, of feeling “Poor me!”, instead of getting up and looking around and ASKING for help. Ask for help. Since Coins is the element of Earth, representing material things such as health and wealth, ask for practical help. From the appropriate sources. There is nothing wrong with needing help.

Gift, Knight of Swords. And sometimes that help comes in the shape of a skilled communicator who is ready and willing to powerfully champion your creative work. So be ready to ask and receive help.
