Be Honest with Yourself and Your Creative Work

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 4/3/2023

Theme, 7 of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communication. Seven is a number of action or of contemplation of action. This week, look for moments when you need to be honest with yourself about what you want to achieve with your creative work, whether looking at a contract for publication, or setting production goals. And be honest in your creative work, even if it means being vulnerable in some way. Honesty is key for creative work that has power and significance, and for a creative path of integrity and purpose.

Focus, 5 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career and work. Five is a point of challenge and conflict. What are the battles you are fighting with yourself about your work or creative career? Are you setting priorities for your work or lying to yourself about what those priorities are? Are other priorities real or excuses for not doing the work? Only you can determine that and stop the inner conflicts.

Action, 3 of Wands. Wands again in the realm of spirit, creativity, career and work. The three is a number of the Goddess and of creativity. This Three is about taking action to meet creative opportunities and challenges where they are. Make a plan to push through any challenges and to be prepared when that exhibition, or performance, or publishing opportunity arrives. If you are prepared, anything is possible.

Gift, 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 adventurer into the inner realms. The gift may be time and space to explore new creative ideas, or it may be an invitation to a special event or opportunity as suggested in the Action card. Be alert and ready to receive.
