MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 1/19/2026

Theme, Ace of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and communication. The Ace is the beginning, the seed holding all the potential and possibility of the suit. This week, make time to consider new beginnings and possibilities within your creative work. A new year often stirs up new ideas for creative projects and paths. Be alert to what is stirring within your mind.
Focus, The Sun. This Major Arcana card shines a brilliant light on you and your work this week, echoing that new beginning of the theme card. The Sun illuminates and offers vitality, abundance, and growth, then asks, “Are ready to act? Are you ready to be brave and step into the light with your work? Will you share the benefits of your experience and creative work with others?”
Action, Queen of Coins. The Queen is the mistress of the suit, one of home, health, and wealth. This Queen is so at home in her earthly realm, especially in nature. She is an aspect of the Major Arcana card, the Empress, and conveys the importance of nature, nurture, and creativity. Like the Sun, she urges generosity with your work, to remember that creativity, when shared, is a gift for and to others as well as yourself. And if you find your energy flagging this week, remember to get outside, feel the sun on your face, and listen to the birds.
Gift, 6 of Swords. Swords again, beginning and ending this week’s message. The Six in the tarot is a number of generosity and harmony. Here, the boatman generously supports their passengers on their journey into the future. Your role is to stay focused on the gifts that come your way for your creative work, rather than the doubts and fears that might vie for your attention. Stay clear and focused on your creative goals, and support will be there.
