Bring Focus and Clarity to a New Creative Project

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 6/10/2024

Theme, Ace of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and communication. The Ace is the seed, the new beginning with all the potential and possibility it holds. Every creative project starts as this Ace, the new idea, the new project. Before you take the first steps on this project, make sure you bring focus and clarity to not only the project but your goals for it.

Focus, 9 of Cups. Cups is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, intuition, and creativity. Nine is a number of completion and an intensity of the element. This card is often understood to indicate a fulfillment of a wish. Here, the card asks you again, for focus and clarity, not on the new project itself, but as previously mentioned, what your goals are for it. What do you want this project to accomplish? What is your wish or dream for it? What will be a sign that your wish for it has been fulfilled?

Action, Page of Swords. Swords again, and this time it is the Page, the youth eager to learn and experience the magic of creativity. The Page urges you, after gaining focus and clarity, to take those first magical steps in your creative project. Learn more about it as you go. Be willing to make mistakes, learn from them, and then keep moving forward. Practice and experience are what the Page needs, and asks of you.

Gift, 4 of Swords. Swords a third time. This time, the number Four urges stability and rest. The gift is one of rest, retreat, and renewal. Once you’ve gained focus and clarity, and you’ve taken those first steps in your project, don’t forget to make time to rest, to step away. This allows you to be more receptive to insight and inspiration, as well as come back to the work with fresh eyes. Rest is an important part of the creative process.
