MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 8/4/2025
Theme, Temperance. This Major Arcana card is about balance, harmony, and moderation. This week, even though you want to be done, or you wish your current project would go faster than it is, practice patience and calmness with your creativity and yourself. Sometimes the work flows, sometimes it slows and meanders. Instead of getting frustrated or taking shortcuts, find your balance between practical demands and inner vision. Both are important.
Focus, 7 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career, and work. Seven is a number of action or the contemplation of it. Does your current project feel intimidating? Is it time to take your courage and confidence in hand and keep moving forward in spite of that? Do you need to be more active, more determined about the project you are working on? Do you need to stay open to continued growth–and challenge–in your creative work?
Action, 4 of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of the mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and communication. Four is a number of stability and structure. While it is important to move forward with courage and confidence, it is also valuable to rest, retreat, and allow ideas, dreams, visions, and insights to come to you. This is the balance that Temperance encourages. Yes, move forward with confidence and courage of the Wands, but this week, also take time to rest, renew, daydream.
Gift, Wheel of Fortune. Another Major Arcana card, this one, in the position of gift, offers a change in fortune. That is, if the current project is giving you fits right now, then this week, look for the energy around it to shift so that you have more clarity about its direction and the momentum picks up once again. Remember that, like a year of seasons, your creative work has seasons, too. If, as Temperance urges, you balance forward movement with inner contemplation and patience, the Wheel will turn.
