MONDAY’S TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 8/22/2016
Theme, The Star. This Major Arcana card is all about shining your light because when you are the star in your creative work, you not only serve yourself but others. When you succeed in your creativity, you show others what is possible. It is no small thing to shine. So, this week, look for those opportunities to shine…brightly.
Focus, 2 of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communication. Two is a number of choice or decision. The Latin root of decision is “to cut off”, i.e. cut off other choices. This week, when choices or a decision arises, instead of weighing pros and cons, ask yourself, “What is my instinct, my gut, my intuition telling me?”
Action, Justice. Another Major Arcana card, this one is about balance, fairness, an opportunity to weigh things. Because of the Focus of the 2 of Swords, this Action card reminds you to follow through on your choice or decision and take action on it. Don’t wait around for something to happen so that you don’t have to act. Your creative work requires a movement back and forth between inner awareness and outer action. So act. Decisively.
Gift, 3 of Wands. And when you act decisively, you receive the gift of the the 3 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of Spirit, creativity, career, and work. Three is a number of flowering or new opportunity. Thus, your action brings the reward of a new creative idea or opportunity. Be ready to receive it.
