MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 6/5/2023
Theme, 8 of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and communication. Eight is a number of movement, in this case, blocked movement. If you feel creatively blocked this week, remember that you have the power to free yourself. Trust your intuition and experience, and look for options you may not have considered before. You aren’t as trapped or powerless as you may think.
Focus, 3 of Swords. Swords again, which suggests your challenge this week is dealing with not only others’ words but your own mind chatter. This card showed up last week in the first or theme position. How have you dealt with the disappointments and rejections since then? Are you letting what you’ve learned from them lead you in new directions and opportunities? Is it time to put the emotional responses aside and move forward with the new insights?
Action, The Hermit. This Major Arcana card suggests that you can be both seeker for your own creative path as well as a guide for other creative seekers, if you take time for the silence and solitude. That will help you focus, tune in to inner guidance, and break out of the mind loop of “I can’t”. Creativity is not always about doing. Sometimes, it’s about being, being still and open, and listening for your Muse. Give yourself time this week to retreat.
Gift, 8 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career, and work. Eight, again, is a number of movement, here movement that is pure energy. And what a gift to receive after the opening card of feeling creatively blocked. Here, if you do the work of trusting intuition and experience, consider new options, and break out of the mind loop through silence and solitude, you receive the gift of new momentum that carries you swiftly forward in your project. Be ready for the ride.
