Finished, not Perfect is the Goal

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 5/27/2019

Theme, 10 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career, and work. Ten is the tipping point between finishing up and beginning anew. This card is a repeat from last week, stressing to you that it is time to let go of the old projects. Finished, not perfect, is the goal. Don’t use the idea of perfection as a way of avoiding the risk of putting your work out into the world.

Focus, Page of Coins. Coins is the element of Earth in the realm of home, health, wealth, and anything physical. For a creative, think canvas, sheet music, book, etc. The Page is the messenger and errand runner. See how proud this page is of the coin she holds? How can you be more energetic and active in sharing your work this week in physical ways? Book signing? Art exhibit? Performance? Even if you aren’t doing those things this week, what do you need to do to make that happen soon?

Action, Ace of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire, remember. Ace is the beginning, the seed containing all potential and possibility. I love that this is the action after the theme of the 10 of Wands showing up twice in a row. If you let go of the old stuff, if finished, not perfect, is your goal, you have room to take action on a new project that is powered by excitement. Take the first steps on it this week.

Gift, Knight of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communication. The Knight is the champion, the one with skills, tools and resources to go out into the realm to serve and protect. This week, look for someone in your circle who either will get the word out about your work in a powerful way, or will teach you how to do it for yourself.
