Brave Up and Take a Creative Leap

MONDAY’S TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 1/18/2016

Theme, The Fool. This Major Arcana is all about taking that leap of faith, of risking it all for something you desire or believe in. This week, look for where you are asked to take a leap creatively, to risk stepping into the unknown for your creative dreams.

Focus, 7 of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communication. The seven is a number of inventiveness and new possibilities. Here, the inventiveness comes in the way that your confidence and trust can be undermined by words to yourself or others’ words to you. Where do you let yourself be sabotaged by others beliefs and words? Are you sabotaging yourself?

Action, 5 of Swords. As if the 7 isn’t enough, now there is the 5 where the figure in the scene seems to have just expended a great amount of energy in battle. Your action this week is pick your battles carefully. Be wise about when to confront and when not to. Make sure your best energies go into your creative work.

Gift, The Emperor. The gift may be an internal one. If you do the work of the previous cards, the gift is the ability to regain control and mastery over your creative work. If an external gift, then look for someone in your environment who is looking for the opportunity to help support your in moving forward with energy and power in your creative work.
