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

Begin the New Year in your Creative Space

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 12/30/2019

Theme, 3 of Coins. Coins is the element of Earth in the realm of home, health and wealth, anything you can touch, taste or feel. Three is a number of creativity. This week, after a month or more of celebrations and time with family and friends, begin the New Year in your creative space, giving attention to your work, especially details and fine finishing. Think about notes, key strokes, brush strokes. Be in your space, doing your work with concentration and focus.

Focus, The Tower. This Major Arcana card is the challenge of unexpected change and transformation. Ask yourself this week, “How do I handle unexpected change and shake-ups in my creative work and career? Who do I talk to when the work is shaky or shaken up? What rituals do I use to stabilize myself when I feel threatened or uncertain about my creative direction or abilities because of unexpected events or criticisms?”

Action, Queen of Cups. Cups is the element of Water in the realm of emotion, dreams, intuition, and creativity. The Queen is the mistress of her element. This week, when you begin the New Year in your creative space, allow yourself to sink deeply into the work and, once there, to go with the flow of the work, trusting your inspirations and intuition. Be comfortable in that space, even if it sometimes feel like you are going in circles.

Gift, King of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career and work. The King is the master of his element. This week, look for someone in your environment who can serve as creative mentor, or role model, or someone who has the power and position to provide creative assistance either in your work or your career.
