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

Creativity Calls for Courage and Fortitude

MONDAY’S TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 9/17/2018

Theme, Strength. Note the woman in this Major Arcana card, because the strength is not physical strength but rather an internal one, such as spiritual, mental or emotional. Creativity calls for courage and fortitude. It’s often not easy to follow those creative visions. But to tame the wild cats of your creative fears and challenges, you need that courage and fortitude. Be aware, this week, of where you need to reach deep for it.

Focus, The Hermit. Another Major Arcana card, the Hermit asks you if it is time for you to make some space in your life for silence and solitude? If you need fortitude and courage for your creativity, time alone to meditate on that, to hear the voice of your Muse, to hear your voice instead of the thousand voices of others, then you need to keep checking in this week and asking yourself, “Do I need silence and solitude now?”

Action, Page of Coins. Coins is the element of Earth in the realm of home, health, and wealth, anything you can touch, taste or feel. The Page is filled with youthful exuberance and energy, and is the messenger of the realm. See how this page holds up the coin so proudly? This week, find your courage and a way to get your work out into the world to increase its discoverability. Proudly show it off. No false modesty.

Gift, The Star. I love that this Major Arcana card is the gift if you do the work and take the advice of the previous cards. Creativity calls for courage, so if you buck up your courage, make time for silence and solitude, and get your work out in the world, then the gift of the Star offers you the opportunity to shine, to heal, to be re-inspired.
