Time to Reconnect with Nature and Your Creativity

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 5/13/2024

Theme, Queen of Coins. Coins is the element of Earth in the realm of home, health, wealth, and anything physical. The Queen is the mistress of the element, comfortable in her element and with the wisdom and knowledge to use for the benefit of self and others. She suggests that it is time to reconnect with nature and your creativity. When you reconnect with nature’s abundant creativity, its cycles, the flora and fauna, and with life itself, you reconnect with your own abundant creativity. Be aware of your comfort within nature and the creative act.

Focus, 5 of Cups. Cups is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, intuition, and creativity. Five is a point of challenge or conflict. What regrets (the spilled cups) do you need to let go of in regard to your creative work and/or its acceptance or rejection? Are you letting past disappointments stall you? Is it time to change your creative priorities and get back into your studio or office? Can you see what has been lost as a gain, a way to make space for new opportunities and work?

Action, Knight of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and communication. The Knight is the champion, the one with the training, the tools and equipment, the power and courage to venture forth in service. While this Knight urges you to get out there and communicate about your work, he also reminds you to rein in impetuous and impulsive behavior. That is, think before you act.

Gift, Strength. A Major Arcana card offering you the gift often needed by creatives, the gift of inner strength in the face of disappointment and adversity. Compassion is part of that gift, a tenderness for you in regards to your creative struggles, as well as encouragement, when you accept the gift, to keep moving forward.
