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

Time for Creativity Collaboration

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 11/14/2022

Theme, 2 of Cups. Cups is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, intuition, and creativity. Two is a number of choice, decision, balance, partnership. Look for opportunities this week, to choose to partner with someone to increase the beauty and possibilities for your creative work. Though you may create in solitude, partnerships in the creative journey are important. How will you collaborate with your work, your Muse, with others in your field?

Focus, 10 of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and communication. Ten is a number of tying up loose ends and preparing to begin again. How are you letting others’ critiques and criticisms keep you from moving forward with that completed project? How can you use negative messages to propel you forward, to increase your determination and commitment to your work and the project? Are you simply experiencing end-of-project anxiety?

Action, 7 of Cups. Cups, again, bringing you back to matters of the heart as they relate to your creativity and creative work. Seven in the tarot is a number of action or the contemplation of action. This seven warns you against fantasizing about the next or different project that seems easier, brighter, more attractive. Instead, this week, keep your focus on the current project and next steps for getting it out into the world.

Gift, The Lovers. This Major Arcana card is an echo of the 2 of Cups, the first card in the reading and strengthens that idea of collaboration, partnership, and being in love with the work. Here, that collaboration and element of love speaks of the gift of the presence of Spirit/Muse in the work. When you partner in smaller ways, you are rewarded with greater opportunities to collaborate with Spirit, your Muse, your work and others.
