Time to Temper Your Creativity

Monday’s Tarot Message from the Muse, 1/27/2014

Theme, Temperance. Like the Goddess Brigid who is the goddess of the forge, creativity, the well, the poet, Temperance asks you this week to combine passion and will with love and desire in your creative work. Moving back and forth between the fire of will and the water of love makes your creativity and creative work stronger, like the sword that is heated in the fire, shaped and then cooled in the water, making the sword stronger.

Focus, Ace of Swords. And, not surprisingly, here is the sword as your focus for the week. What new creative idea or project needs tempering? Where do you need to give it more heat, more action? Where does it need more feeling around it?

Action, The Emperor. A major arcana card, the Emperor asks you to make a plan this week for your creativity or creative project and then put it into action. Put some energy behind it.

Gift, Justice. Another major arcana card, Justice comes to bring you the balance you need in the tempering, not too much fire, nor too much water. Her gift lets you move effortlessly back and forth between the two so that you can bring your creative work into the world.
