Create from the Place of Play and Imagination

MONDAY’S TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 1/1/2018

Theme, 6 of Cups. Cups is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, intuition, and creativity. Here, the child lies in the grass, imagining and daydreaming. This week, let yourself create from a sense of play and unlimited imagination. Anything is possible.

Focus, 5 of Cups. Cups again, only this time the emotion is one of fear and disappointment, as the woman sits with her back against the wall. Will you use your imagination to conjure all the things that could go wrong? Or all the ways you could create success for yourself and your work? What are the two projects you need to get out in the world, past your disappointments?

Action, 10 of Cups. It seems to be all about the emotions around your creativity this week, including the one of comfort. Here, natural antagonists–dog and cat–lie at peace with each other, resting at day’s end. For you, your action this week is inaction. Begin this New Year with a sense of acknowledgement for all you accomplished last year. Rest and renew after the craziness of the holidays. Don’t rush into the year. Rest, like children after play. Rest and renewal is necessary for the your health and the health of your imagination.

Gift, Ace of Coins. Coins is the element of Earth in the realm of home, health and wealth, anything physical. This week, look for some small gift that provides the seed from which something significant in your creative work will grow. It might be money or a planner, or something beautiful for your home or studio, or even a gift of a DVD or book on health, diet or exercise. Sometimes it is the small practical things that produce big results in creative productivity and income.
