MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 11/13/2023
Theme, Strength. This Major Arcana card is about inner strength, inner fortitude. There is no taming of the lion but rather a deep connection, a sense of tenderness and even…love. This week, in the face of creative challenges and obstacles, remember–your creativity needs compassion and steady perseverance, not dominance or a struggle for power. Love it and yourself into harmony and forward movement.
Focus, King of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and communication. The King is the master of the element. This King is confident, assertive, and objective. Do you need to be more confident in your relationship with your creative work? Are you seeing it objectively or do you need input from an experienced peer or mentor? What do you know and understand that can be shared with others, that will help them and, in the process, strengthen your creative confidence?
Action, Ace of Swords. Swords again, dealing with the mind. The Ace in the tarot is like a seed, holding all the potential of the suit and the growth that can follow, especially when you create with compassion and steady perseverance. This week, take action on a new idea for your creative work. The first action might be creating a plan, laying out the steps for its creation, or creating a schedule for its manifestation. If you do nothing else, honor the gift from your Muse by jotting down the idea and a few notes about it.
Gift, Page of Swords. Obviously, this week is all about the mind, and the thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and ideas associated with it. In this gift position, the Page suggests the arrival of a new idea, or an opportunity to share your work. It could be an offer to teach, and/or an opportunity to market your work. Be prepared to receive the gift with all its energy and enthusiasm.
