Theme, 4 of Cups. This week, it’s time to finish up those projects you’ve been working on that are near completion so you have room in your schedule and your energy for the new project that is rising up from your heart…the dream, the vision.

Focus, Knight of Coins. How are you the knight for your creative work. What do you do that physically serves your community with your creative work. Do you perform for a seniors’ group? Teach weaving to young children? Donate a piece to a local fundraiser?

Action, Ace of Cups. Oh yes, that creative dream, that vision is demanding your attention now. Pay attention! Take action!

Gift, The Emperor. Look for the person in your environment who has the power to move your work up and out in a big way. Or can offer you the big perspective for that new project and how to make it a success.

Theme, Queen of Wands. Don’t you love the look of fierce will on her face? This fierce and passionate desire is your theme for the week. Bring that to your creative work, and to how you nurture and help others with your work. Be proud, be passionate.

Focus, Three of Coins. That passionate energy also needs focused, directed time. So how do you make space and time this week to do your creative work? How will you give yourself the silence and solitude you need to polish and finish a current project?

Action, Queen of Cups. While the Queen of Wands is fiery will, the Queen of Cups is loving desire and vision. Also be the Queen of Cups, that person who listens and responds to the creative desires of the heart, and who allows time for dreaming and envisioning.

Gift, The Lovers. A Major Arcana card, this is the integration of opposites, the coming together of masculine and feminine, of active and receptive, of Fire and Water. Blessed by Spirit, this integration manifests in the physical realm in a way that is healing and nurturing.

Theme, the High Priestess. The High Priestess represents spiritual knowledge (the pomegranate she holds in her hand) and wisdom (the owl and the scroll). She is the gatekeeper between the known and the unknown, the conscious and the unconscious. This week, think about how you are the High Priestess for your creative work and how you share the deeper, more spiritual aspects of your work with others.

Focus, Judgement. So how do you share that spiritual dimension in a way that serves the bigger vision or purpose of your work in the world? What are you called to do, who are you called to serve with your creative work?

Action, 9 of Cups. This week, look at that vision and get clear on what you really want to create for yourself and others in a way that taps into that feeling of joyful abundance…that feeling we get when our biggest wishes are fulfilled.

Gift, The Lovers. Love is always a gift. And there are many kinds of love. Look for the gift of partnership and integration this week that feels divinely blessed to help you answer that creative call or vision.

The Tarot is divided into two parts, the Major Arcana (Secrets) and the Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana has 22 cards that are numbered from 0 to 21.

Ciro Marchetti's Fool from Legacy

Zero, in the Major Arcana, is the Fool. It is the Fool that travels from the number one card, The Magician, to the last card, The World, often called The Fool’s Journey. Rachel Pollack, in her book, Tarot Wisdom, says that, as the Fool journeys through the Major Arcana, he moves from the Conscious to the Unconscious to the Superconscious, that level where he understands his connection to the cosmos and can celebrate his arrival with joy, fulfillment and success.

As a writer, artist, musician, or other creative, you are The Fool at the beginning of each new creative project. And, as you journey with your work from beginning to end, you travel through the phases of the Fool’s journey of conscious, unconscious, and superconscious.

In the first stage, the work is all about what you want to Read More→

Theme, The Empress. Now that we are in the sign of Taurus ruled by Venus, we may feel this week that we are filled, pregnant with creative ideas and possibilities. Experience what it means to be the channel for the Muse, to be an unending source of creative flow and creative birth.

Focus, 7 of Cups. And even while you receive one creative idea after another, be sure not to let all those ideas keep you from doing your work. Give your energy and focus to one idea, one project, knowing that the others are there awaiting their turn.

Action, Page of Swords. This week, be sure to communicate to your audience about your creative work. Choose two projects to introduce or re-introduce to the world, or two ways of communicating about your work. But do share with enthusiasm and clarity.

Gift, Knight of Wands. Wow! Look for someone around you who is ready and willing to be a champion of your work. He or she is eager to get out there and let people know about you and your gifts. Let them.

Theme, 9 of Swords. These Swords (thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, communication) are waking you up at night…are they worries or dreams? For this week, prepare yourself for sleep in a way that supports your creative night life. Cleanse your space and your mind. Do a brain dump of ideas and concerns before going to sleep. Keep a dream journal and pen next to the bed so that you can record the dreams with their attendant inspiration and problem solving.

Focus, 6 of Swords. In order to continue moving forward successfully with your creative work, it’s important to know what beliefs and attitudes support you and which ones you need to leave behind. What old thought patterns do you need to drop?

Action, 3 of Cups. Creativity arises out of joy and celebration, so make sure to celebrate this week. Also, when you enter your work space, put on some music that supports your creative mood.

Gift, Knight of Cups. Look for someone this week who is a strong emotional champion of your creative work, who can help you negotiate the sometimes deep and dangerous waters of moving your work into the world.

Theme, The Magician. For this week, be aware of the magic you hold within, the magic that can take an idea and turn it into physical form. How, for you, thoughts definitely become things.

Focus, Page of Cups. With that magical ability comes the need and the responsibility to bring your creative gifts to others. The Page, with all his or her youthfulness and vitality, says its time to look at how you do that. How do you communicate to your tribe and your world about your creative gifts and their importance?

Action, Queen of Coins. Oh, yes, you may be a Magician, but it’s time to act like a Queen. Use your creative gifts this week to help others in a practical way, that brings growth and healing to you and them. Use your resources to create beauty and healing in the world.

Gift, The Hermit. Just remember that while you are doing all this this week, to take time for silence and solitude, time away. The Gift is there if you are willing to receive it. It’s important to do this in order for you to be able to truly light the way for others.

Theme, The Fool. Since April 1st is April Fool’s Day here in the US, I decided to pull that card from the deck and make it the theme for the week. So this week, be the Fool for your creativity. Be willing to take a leap, trust your instincts, and be playful. Who knows what amazing opportunities and possibilities will array themselves before you when you do?

Focus, 7 of Coins. Focus this week on the question, “What do I have to do, what finishing details do I need to tend to in order to make my current creative project the best it can be, so that it can bear fruit? What do I need to do in order to reap the harvest/reward of all my hard work?

Action, 3 of Cups. And every day, take time to celebrate your accomplishments. And even while doing your creative work, put on some music. Dance a little, to stir up that playful creative energy of the Fool.

Gift, Queen of Coins. Then look for the gift, the physical reward of money or other resources as a result of taking risks, following through, and celebrating. You could be the Queen…or someone in your environment really values your work and rewards you for it.

Theme, Queen of Coins. Coins is the element of earth, resources in the physical realm. This Queen has the ability to take the resources around her, create something beautiful from them and then use them to nurture others. This is your role for the week. To be aware of the beauty you create, and how those creations nurture others and yourself.

Focus, The World. You’ve arrived at the end of a creative stage, journey or process that has allowed you to know more about who you are and what you do. How are you going to share your creations and yourself with the World? A show or exhibit? Publication? Social Media? How?

Action, Death. With the Spring Equinox on Wednesday, we arrive at the end of the astrological year. The old gives way to the new. Clean out the cobwebs and detritus of your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual creative space so that something new can grow and bloom. Let go.

Gift, The Emperor. Because, we move from Pisces this week into the sign of Aries and The Emperor. Here’s the gift of a power that mobilizes you to take charge, to lead with your creative vision and ideas. You can feel the creative sap rising. Accept its gift of energy and forward motion.

Theme, 5 of Coins. Poor woman needs help…and all she has to do is get up, turn around and look at what is available to her behind her. Stop waiting for help for your creative work. Get up and get out and ask for it. Better yet, look around and see what is already available if you stop looking in the wrong places.

Focus, 9 of Swords. Are you letting all the messages from naysayers and those with defeatist attitudes about your creative work keep you awake at night? Why are you giving weight and value to what they have to say?

Action, 5 of Cups. Apparently, it’s a 5 kind of week. Some challenges this week that can be resolved if you step up and out. Okay, so a couple of your creative projects didn’t work. Maybe you dropped the ball. Maybe someone stomped on and smashed your creative dream. But look, there are more where those came from…you are holding them…too tightly. Get up and get out there with them.

Gift, 4 of Wands. Strength and stability in your creative work comes when you take the gift offered to you this week of renewing your commitment to your creative work. In spite of all the challenges.
