“The ultimate call of the Muses in contemporary life is to live a creative and authentic life.” Angeles Arrien

Tend the Fire of Your Creative Work

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 4/22/2019

Theme, King of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career and work. The King is the master of the element, like a CEO, able to see the big picture and responsible for maintaining welfare. This week, be aware of times when you need to see the big picture of your work or project, and insure that the fire (i.e. the passion and the will) of your work is burning steadily. No need to burn out, but make sure to keep the fire burning, to see the big picture of what is needed to do that.

Focus, The Wheel. This Major Arcana is about the ups and downs of life, the changes of seasons and circumstances. Sometimes we are up, sometimes we are down. And Jupiter, the big benefic can make both of those states seem larger than they are. This week, ask yourself, “What do I need to do to stay centered and not feel like a victim of circumstance in my creative work?”

Action, 2 of Wands. Back in the realm of Wands and Fire, that is, spirit, creativity, career and work. If your focus is on staying centered and you tend the fire of your creative work, then you are ready to deal with the challenge of how to mesh two opportunities or projects together. Don’t get caught up in the either/or. Consider, instead, how you might do both, blend both, in a way that adds to your unique work or voice. Think about weaving together instead of separating.

Gift, Faith. This Major Arcana has four male figures from the four major religions in the world. This week, look for the gift of divine connection, a connection that provides peace, a sense of calm in the midst of all the Fire and ups and downs. That connection also gives a welcome depth to your creative work and encourages you to have faith in yourself.
