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

What is Your Creative Commitment?

MONDAY’S TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 1/23/2017

Theme, 4 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career, and work. Four is a number of stability. This card is often called the wedding card. I call it the commitment card. Note how everything inside is lush and beautiful and everything outside is not. This week, be aware of when and how you are committed to your creative work…in spite of family, work, community. Note where your commitment is tested.

Focus, The Moon. A Major Arcana card, represents dreams, intuition, and emotions. This week, ask, “What are my dreams telling me? What is my intuition trying to convey to me about my creative work?”

Action, Page of Wands. Wands again, with its energetic associations of passion and vitality. The Page of Wands is the one who carries the passionate, active energy of youth. The Page is also the messenger. So this week, be a passionate, energetic, enthusiastic messenger for your creative work. Don’t be shy or falsely humble.

Gift, Knight of Cups. Cups is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams and intuition. So, in your Moon focus this week, also be aware of others in your environment who want to be of service to you and your creative work. Might be a critique partner, a gallery owner, and editor–someone who wants to help you get your work out into the world.
