Acknowledge How Hard You’ve Worked Creatively

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 3/8/2021

Theme, 9 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career and work. Nine is a number of completion, the end of a process, the element to a high level. Yes, hard work. This week, if you’re feeling exhausted and even unmotivated to do your creative work, acknowledge how hard you’ve worked, and how far you’ve come as a result. Be aware of moments this week when you need to stop pushing on a project or yourself.

Focus, 8 of Coins. Coins is the element of Earth in the realm of home, health and wealth, anything physical. Eight is a number of movement. In the element of Earth, that movement is in the further growth and development of a skill, the ability to do again what you did before. Ask yourself, “What skills have I developed in my work? What new skills would I like or need to develop to increase the ease of my creative work?” Good questions to ask when you are feeling tired and unmotivated.

Action, 9 of Cups. Cups is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, and creativity. Nine, again, indicates a high level of the element. Here, it is an occasion for celebration, the emotion of joy, especially when you’ve completed a project and want to share that accomplishment with others. This week, take time, especially when you need a little emotional boost, to share your achievements with friends, to at least virtually, raise a glass together and celebrate. That spiritual exhaustion of the 9 of Wands will be lifted.

Gift, 7 of Coins. Coins, again, is the element of Earth, in the realm of the physical. Seven is a number of the contemplation of action. Here, the farmer stands waiting patiently for the ripening of their harvest. Once you acknowledge your hard work, and celebrate with others, you’ll receive the gift of patience–for your work, your creative path, and for yourself.
