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

Make Time to Rest and Renew

MONDAY’S TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 12/3/2018

Theme, 4 of Swords. Swords is the element of Air, in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communications. Four is a number of stability and structure. This week, make time to rest and renew, to stop the mind chatter and the busyness of the holiday season. Give yourself the gifts of stillness and silence in order to sleep, dream, meditate and commune with your Muse. Then you’ll have the mental and physical stability to do all you have to do.

Focus, 2 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career and work. Two is a number of balance, choice, decision, and partnership. This week, instead of trying to decide between two different creative projects, ask yourself, “How can I easily move back and forth between these projects so that they nurture me and each other? How can I balance the energies between them?”

Action, Judgement. This Major Arcana which is the second to last card in the Fool’s Journey urges you to accept the call to purpose and vision this week. Stop playing small with your creative work and give yourself the opportunity to dream bigger, to respond to the bigger dream of your work that you receive after you make time to rest and renew.

Gift, The Lovers. Another Major Arcana card that suggests love and partnership on a higher plane. The light from the heart above the male and female figures moves through them/between them down to the tree with the apple and serpent. After you make time to rest and renew, be aware of the gift of love and support that reaches you, and of being surrounded by those you love. That appreciation and awareness is easier when you are rested and restored and inspired.
