Time to Take Stock and Rethink Priorities?

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 2/3/2025

Theme, 8 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career and work. Eight is a number of movement and progression, heading toward completion and stability. If you feel your creative project finally moving quickly towards completion, step back and take stock. Perhaps, it is headed in the right direction and, perhaps, it is time to stop trying to fix every little thing to make it perfect. It has momentum. Let it continue.

Focus, 5 of Coins. Coins is the element of Earth in the realm of home, health, and wealth, anything physical. Five in the tarot is a point of challenge or conflict. Is it time to ask for help in your creative work? Do you need guidance from a mentor or coach? Do you need to apply for financial assistance or a grant? What resources do you have access to that you may be unintentionally ignoring? Can you put pride aside to ask for help?

Action, The Moon. This Major Arcana card suggests that it is time to dive deep into your inner world, to follow your intuition, to pay attention to dreams in order to bring forth the new ideas and visions just waiting to emerge, especially once you finish the current project that is close to being done. Now is the time to pay attention to those creative nudges that seem to come out of nowhere. And if you aren’t keeping a dream journal, now would be a good time to start.

Gift, Knight of Coins. Coins, again, the element of Earth, but this time as the Knight, the Knight who is diligent and persistent. If you’ve had a hard time sticking to that project or your creative work lately, then the gift this week is the ability to focus on it and stick to it. Just keep your expectations realistic.
