Rest Your Creative Mind to Hear Your Muse

MONDAY’S TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 1/29/2018

Theme, 4 of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communication. Four is a number of stability. This week, for the sake of your stability, look for times to rest your creative mind. If you want to hear the Muse, then rest and retreat. Get quiet. Meditate. Sleep and dream.

Focus, 4 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career, and work. For the stability of your work, what commitment do you need to make? Or, what commitment have you made that you need to follow through on? What did you say “I do” to? Commitment helps keep the mind quietly focused.

Action, 6 of Swords. In this card, we are back in the realm of the mind, the unconscious. If you don’t want your creative work sabotaged by the doubts and fears that lurk within, then keep your focus on the destination or goals for your work. Trust in your Muse. Keep the mind quiet.

Gift, 7 of Cups. Cups is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, intuition and creativity. Look at all the possibilities, i.e. distractions. Distractions can drain your creative energy. So the ability to ignore the distractions and keep your focus on your current project is a gift. Again, the need for a quiet, rested mind. This week, focus–with commitment and a quiet, rested mind.
