Creativity, a Gift of Love

MONDAY’S TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 12/18/2017

Theme, The Lovers. This Major Arcana card is perfect for the season when your creativity is a gift of love to you and from you. See how that spiritual dimension above the couple that is almost kissing is transferred to the apple tree. In the spirit of love, your creative ideas, when made manifest, are gifts to others. So be aware this week of how your creativity blesses others and, in doing so, blesses you.

Focus, 3 of Cups. Cups is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, intuition and creativity. Look at the dancer surrounded by sources of music. Here is celebration. Ask yourself, how are you celebrating your creativity this week? How will that celebration and joy be transferred into your creative projects?

Action, 4 of Cups. Cups again. Here, with the number four which implies structure or stability. Still, the man on the card doesn’t possess the fourth Cup. Maybe he’s not ready for it. Or maybe, he needs to appreciate the gifts of the three Cups he already has before the fourth one is given to him. This week, instead of yearning for something out there, look at what is already yours creatively. What three projects or accomplishments in your creative work need to be recognized and honored? Gratitude for them will prepare you for the fourth.

Gift, 4 of Coins. Coins is the element of Earth in the realm of home, health and wealth, anything physical. Here we have the number four again, implying structure and stability. But sometimes we can grip onto that stability so hard that we impede our ability to receive new gifts. If you are holding tightly to what you have, you need to open your arms and your heart this week to receive new gifts, new opportunities, new support. Let go and receive. ‘Tis the season.
