Monday’s Tarot Message from the Muse for the week of 9/23/2013
Theme, Knight of Wands. To be of service, the Knight goes through a period of training, developing skills and acquiring the tools, equipment and resources he needs to do his job. Wands is the element of fire, spirit, creativity, career, work. This week, take time to look at where you might be lacking tools and resources. Work to fill in the gaps so that when you take your work out into the world, you have what you need to do your job.
Focus, 9 of Cups. Cups is the element of water, heart, emotions, creativity, dreams, illusions. This week, focus on what you really want. What does the end result of your creativity look like? What is the juiciest project you can focus and work on this week? You want to be clear about what you wish for because, this week, you just might get it.
Action, 9 of Swords. Another 9, but this one in the suit of Swords, the element of air, mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communications. Your action is to resolve and release the worries that are keeping you awake at night. They not only keep you awake but take up space in your mind better used for your creative work. Write the worries, rejections or criticisms down on paper, then burn them to release them. Set an intention before going to bed to sleep well and deeply.
Gift, Knight of Coins. This card makes all 4 suits of the tarot present in this week’s reading, and is a nice bookend to the first card, also a Knight. So, if you do your work this week of taking inventory of your tools and resources, getting clarity on your creative dreams, and letting go of worries and old critical messages, then you are given the gift of a well-grounded knight, green with health and vitality. Perhaps you are the knight, or perhaps another knight comes along to companion you on your creative journey.
