Pick Your Verbal Battles about Your Creative Work

MONDAY’S TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 6/12/2017

Theme, 5 of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communication. Five is a number of change and challenge. This week, be aware of using your words wisely. Know when verbal battles are worthwhile and when they aren’t. Defend yourself and your creative work but don’t engage just to engage. And don’t be your own worst enemy with the mental chatter.

Focus, 2 of Swords. Again in the suit of Swords but this time the number is 2, the number of choice, decisions and partnership. Are you spending too much time weighing (Libra’s scales) each choice or decision? Are you too worried about making the right decision? Do you need to trust your instinct and intuition (the Moon) more?

Action, 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 is the seed, the beginning that contains all potential, all possibility. Your action this week is to plant seeds. Do something in a physical way that is the first step towards growing something in your creative work. Might be the first pages written out for a book, or a canvas prepped for a new painting, etc. Stop waffling about it (that 2 of Swords) and just do it. Begin.

Gift, Knight of Swords. Again in Swords, so an important week for communication. This time it’s the Knight as a gift. This knight has the skill and power to serve your creative work through speaking or writing. Perhaps the knight is a PR person, or a marketer, or a great copywriter. Look for someone in your environment who can champion your work through words with speed and power.
