Help Others See Clearly the Beauty & Value of Your Creative Work

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 8/5/2024

Theme, Queen of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communication. The Queen is the mistress of the element, and here, she wants you to understand the importance of clear, sharp, forthright communication. This week, help others see clearly the beauty and value of your creative work. Be bold. No false modesty allowed. If you won’t share your excitement and enthusiasm for your work, you can’t expect others to do so. Get out there.

Focus, 8 of Coins. Coins is the element of Earth in the realm of home, health, wealth, and anything physical. Eight is a number of movement and momentum. Although the figure here may not look like they are in motion, they are in fact doing the research and planning necessary for the next steps in completing and launching their creative products or projects. Planning and organization help you keep the momentum going. What are you plans and next steps for your creative work? Do you have a timeline for getting the work completed and out into the marketplace? Do you have a team lined up to help you?

Action, Knight of Coins. Coins again, but this time the Knight who is the champion for the work, the one with the tools and training to serve and protect. This Knight understands that hard work and diligence are key to success. The bear advises that hiding away all year is not an option. This week, arm yourself with whatever tools and/or equipment you need to feel safe and confident to get out into the world with your creative work. Make your plan, get organized, consider how you want to clearly communicate about your work, and then do it.

Gift, 5 of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career, and work. Five is generally a point of conflict in the tarot and is shown here as the combat of the five wands. Because it is in the Gift position, it suggests that a little competition with others is a good way to help others see clearly the beauty and value of your work. Consider contests, auditions, or juried exhibits as an opportunity to gain more exposure.
