Let Go of Emotional Attachments to Creative Projects

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 5/11/2020

Theme, 8 of Cups. Cups is the element of Water, in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, intuition and creativity. Eight is a number of movement towards completion. The challenge of this card is that to move forward, you have to let go of what is slowing you down or holding you back, such as attachments to old projects that once made you excited but don’t any more. Or partnerships with others in your field that used to inspire and motivate but make you feel more like you are doing all the work. This week, look for opportunities to let go of those emotional attachments so that you can more easily reach for and move toward your creative dreams.

Focus, Ace of Coins. Coins is the element of Earth in the realm of home, health and wealth, anything you can touch, taste or feel. The Ace of any suit is a gift, a seed, holding all potential and possibility, this one for growth and reward. This week, ask yourself, “What creative seeds can I plant that hold potential for growth and reward? What are the first steps I need to take to make my new creative idea(s) real?”

Action, The Magician. This Major Arcana card encourages you to be the Magician this week. That is, take that sparking, sparkling creative idea and make it real. You are the one who has the creative magic to take that Ace of Coins, plant it and make it grow, especially once you let go of the emotional attachments to what’s holding you back. Be the Magician this week. Practice your creative magic.

Gift, Page of Coins. Back in the physical realm of Coins, this time with the Page who is the vital, active energy getting the work out in practical and physical ways. This week, look for someone in your environment who is excited about your work and happy to be part of getting the word out about it. Might be someone offering an interview, exhibit, signing, or performance.
