No Resting on Your Creativity Laurels

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 3/16/2026

Theme, 7 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career, and work. Seven is a number of inventiveness, awareness of possibilities, the contemplation of action. Here, the figure stands ready to hold off others, aware of the possibility of not being able to maintain their position. While it’s important this week to be aware of past successes and achievements, now is not the time to rest on your creativity laurels. All your experience can be used to help you overcome challenges and, with confidence, achieve new heights.

Focus, Page of Swords. Page of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and communication. The Page is the youth, still learning, and, in this case, somewhat thoughtful and cautious. Even though it’s not time to rest on your laurels, are you hesitating to move forward because of past challenges and negative experiences? Can you use your experience and the wisdom gained from it to give you courage and confidence to help you keep moving forward, to continue learning and developing your creative work?

Action, Queen of Wands. Wands again, that element of Fire and passion, of creativity. As the embodiment of mastery of the element, she is fierce and confident, and wants you to embody those qualities this week. She urges you to be independent in your voice and vision, and embrace success as it comes your way as a result.

Gift, The High Priestess. This Major Arcana card is all about intuition, dreams, and the subconscious. In the position of gift, she offers you inspiration, new visions for your creative work that will help you continue your journey to success. So, be alert to the dreams and intuitive insights that come your way this week and record them. You’ll want to be able to refer to them again and again.
