Stand Firm in Your Creative Expertise

MONDAY’S TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 3/4/2019

Theme, 7 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career and work. Here, you see the soldier defending his position from others who want to claim his position. You’ve worked hard to arrive at your position in your creative work and platform. This week, be aware of times when others might try to knock you off base, to make you feel threatened or beleaguered. Stand firm in your creative expertise. Defend yourself and your creative work.

Focus, King of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communication. The King is the CEO and master of the element. He is confident in his ability to communicate clearly, to delegate and rule from his awareness of and surety in his power. This week, ask yourself, “Am I communicating clearly and with strength about my creative work? Am I confident about the work I do and about my expertise?”

Action, The Empress. This Major Arcana card speaks to an inherent ability to create, to bring life into so many forms and, like the dryad, to also provide nurturing and shelter. This week, allow yourself to acknowledge and give birth to the abundant creativity within you. Make note of seeds needing watering, of new projects needing nurturing and care. And remember that you are the source.

Gift, Knight of Swords. Again, Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communication. When you stand firm in your creative expertise, when you communicate confidently and powerfully about your work and yourself, champions or Knights show up to serve you and your work. Be alert to who shows up this week to help you get the word out about your work.
