Bring Balance & Integration to Your Creative Work

Monday’s Tarot Message from the Muse for the week of 10/21/2013

Theme, The Lovers. So romantic, that kiss or almost kiss. Together the male and female figure make a whole heart. A heart that is the vehicle for the movement of idea or inspiration into reality. Creation doesn’t happen without first being open to receive the idea, and then being willing to take action on it. A balance, an integration of both of those energies. Look for opportunities this week to integrate both receiving ideas and then acting on them.

Focus, 4 of Coins. So, what in the material realm (remember Coins is anything you can touch, taste or feel) are you gripping onto so tightly that you have no room to receive (see above) something new? That something could be new materials, new resources including income or new products. Where does fear have you gripping so tightly that you might miss out on something rewarding?

Action, 10 of Swords. Ouch! Yes, this card is a painful and challenging one. If you’ve felt assailed by the criticisms and doubts of others, then perhaps it is time to either let them run off your back, OR turn around and face them. Do something about them and the ones who aim them at you.

Gift, 3 of Swords. Then open to receiving the moments of release–of grief, sadness, pain, rejection. Again a letting go instead of holding on. A clearing away in order to be open to new things. Get a box of tissues and receive the gift of releasing. Tears are cleansing.
