Are You Standing at a Gateway?

MONDAY’S TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE

Theme, 7 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of Spirit, creativity, career, work. Seven is a number of creativity, intelligence, originality, and intuition. This week, look for where you stand at a gateway that, while separating you from others, provides you with new opportunities for growth and exploration.

Focus, Death. A Major Arcana card, Death is about letting go of what needs to be released. Some projects and situations complete or die natural deaths, others you have to encourage along. So ask this week, what in my creative work, process or environment needs to die?

Action, 9 of Wands. Because once you answer that question, take action on it. Release, finish, complete, let go of what needs to die, especially that project that’s been weighing you down, so that something new can be born.

Gift, Ace of Swords. And here comes the something new. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communication. Ace is the beginning, the new idea. It’s always amazing how when we clear out the old and worn-out, something new arrives. Look for it.
