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

Creative Diligence Brings Rewards

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 2/20/2023

Theme, 10 of Coins. Coins is the element of Earth in the realm of home, health, wealth, or anything physical. Ten is a number between completion and beginning again, and an intensity or abundance of the suit. After all the hard work and persistence, your creative diligence brings rewards. The accumulation of completed work–pages, notes, canvases, etc.–allows opportunities for recognition, sales, and personal satisfaction. Don’t forget to honor your Muse and the beauty of the world around you in gratitude.

Focus, 8 of Cups. Cups is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, intuition, and creativity. Eight in the tarot is a number of movement. Here, the movement is obviously away from the Cups. Now that you know creative diligence brings rewards, what creative situation or project is it time to abandon? What creative project no longer brings emotional satisfaction but rather frustration and fatigue? What can you accomplish if you walk away toward something new?

Action, Five of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career, and work. Five is a number of challenge and conflict. Don’t be surprised if, after walking away from the project or path that is no longer emotionally fulfilling, you discover a restlessness, a desire to test your creative imagination and abilities. Creative growth happens when you meet and deal with challenges. Don’t be afraid of a little competition. It’s an opportunity to test yourself and your creative commitments. And to grow.

Gift, 7 of Cups. Cups, again, having to do with the heart and creativity. Seven is a number of contemplation. Here, in the gift position, you are offered a variety of creative ideas, projects, perhaps even a collaboration. Allow yourself to fantasize for a bit, then choose the one that, with creative diligence and a willingness to stretch yourself, will bring additional growth and rewards.
