“The ultimate call of the Muses in contemporary life is to live a creative and authentic life.” Angeles Arrien

Claim Your Creative Authority

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 5/9/22

Theme, King of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career and work. The king is the master of the element, the authority. This week, look for opportunities when you need to recognize and exhibit your authority in your creative work and field. Be confident in moving your work into the world, in sharing your ideas and your vision for your work. Be bold.

Focus, 8 of Wands. Wands again with a level of excitement, a sense of adventure. Eight shows that the work is nearing completion. There is a sense of momentum behind it. What can you do this week to keep the momentum going? And perhaps, more importantly, what do you need to refrain from doing so the work doesn’t lose momentum. Sometimes, approaching the end of a project is intimidating so the temptation is to go back and tweak, or keep “fixing”. What can you do to fight that temptation off?

Action, The Star. This Major Arcana card offers hope and inspiration. Let yourself dream big this week, and then stay open to the inspiration and ideas that come to you to help reach the finish line on that current project. If you’re feeling defeated, blocked, or discouraged, look to the star (or Muse) for guidance, encouragement, and the way forward. She’ll guide you with her special light.

Gift, 4 of Coins. Coins is the element of Earth in the realm of home, health, wealth, anything physical. Four is a number of stability and security. When you claim your creative authority, keep the momentum going on your work and stay tuned in to inspiration, then you are rewarded for your efforts, either through sales, or others willing to invest in you in practical ways that help you feel more secure about your work and direction.
