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

What is the Calling of your Creative Work?

Monday’s Tarot Message from the Muse for the week of 12/10/2012.

Theme for the week, 7 of Wands: This is not a time to hide but a time to stand out…to claim authority and expertise…to risk the heat of the spotlight and prepare to move into the next new environment for your creative work.

Focus, Judgement: And in claiming expertise, be clear about what is the larger mission, vision or calling of your creative work. Yes, we want to tell a story, sing a song well, paint a picture, but beneath that, what are we called to do with our work? Engage? Entertain? Heal? Connect?

Action, The Tower: Yes, I know…scary. BUT, if you do the rocking and rolling, the Universe won’t have to. Time to shake up your creative work and your creative life. If you’ve become just a little too stable, a little too relaxed, or if things have become just a little too easy, then perhaps it is time to make a change, to shake up your creative work and try something new or risky that creates a transformation.

Gift, The Ace of Wands: Because in that shaking up, in that being aware of the call and being willing to step up into the limelight, comes the gift of a powerful, new creative idea, project or opportunity.
