Stay Focused on Where the Real Creative Gold Is

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 5/17/2021

Theme, 7 of Cups. Cups is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, intuition and creativity. Seven is the number of the contemplation of action. Here, it’s important for the action to stay focused on where the real creative gold is. While it often feels easier to stop working on a project that has become challenging, if you can push through the challenge you are apt to discover the real gold, the reward waiting for you. Though other ideas or projects may seem easier or bright and shiny, what happens if you start working on them and they become challenging? Stay focused. Push through this week.

Focus, 3 of Cups. Another Cups card but this time the 3, a number of celebration, collaboration and friendship. In this position, the card suggests you ask yourself, “How do I celebrate progress with my creative work? How do I share that and my work with my friends or creative peers? What joy is to be found there that carries me energized back into my work?”

Action, Justice. This Major Arcana card suggests that you take time this week to assess your creative work and life to determine how you are maintaining a balance–between mind and heart, what you want to create versus trends, and the time and energy you give to your creative work weighed against the time and energy you give to other aspects of your life.

Gift, Queen of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career, and work. The Queen is the mistress of the element. This Queen is fierce, passionate, willful. In the position of Gift, she can bestow upon you her mastery of being able to push through the challenges of creativity. She gives you the will, determination, and the passion for your work.
