Let Creative Projects Develop Before You Rush Them to Market

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 5/3/2021

Theme, 7 of Coins. Coins is the element of Earth in the realm of home, health and wealth, anything you can touch, taste or feel. Seven is a number of action or the contemplation of it. Here, the farmer stands watch over her crop, having already harvested what is ready, waiting for what is not. This week, be aware of when you are tempted to rush your creative process or projects, in a hurry to get them to market. Instead, allow them to grow, develop, and ripen. The project will be better for the time and so will your process.

Focus, The Emperor. Ruler of all he surveys, this Major Arcana card suggests that this week, you focus on your realm and your role as its ruler. How are you managing resources in order to move your projects and career forward? What knowledge of your craft and creative business do you need to use in order to ensure the success of your creative work? As ruler, are you able to see where you need to let creative projects develop?

Action, King of Cups. Still in ruler mode with this King who is master of their element, your action this week is in Cups, the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, intuition and creativity. As King, you don’t let yourself get overwhelmed or pulled under by emotional responses to rejections, disappointments, hurts and other emotional triggers. Instead, you see the big picture and act from there.

Gift, 8 of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communication. Eight is energy in motion–or not. While it may not appear that this card is a gift, it is. Because when you are patient with yourself and your creative process, then when you feel blocked or immobilized in your work, you give yourself the time to turn inward, to trust your intuition and instincts that will help you find your way out and forward. You aren’t trapped or a prisoner. You just have to look within. And there is the gift.
