Surrender or Keep Creating?

MONDAY’S TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 5/6/2019

Theme, 10 of Swords. Swords is the element of Air in the realm of mind, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and communications. Ten is the number where you finish up and prepare to begin again. This week, look for occasions where the words, writings, and communications from others about you and your work hold the potential to stop you in your creative tracks. Will you let them make you surrender or will you keep creating?

Focus, 2 of Coins. Coins is the element of Earth in the realm of home, health, wealth, anything physical. Two is a number of choice, decision or partnership. Here, the Fool is focused on the Coin with the sign of Capricorn, the sign ruled by Saturn, representing ambition in business and looking at long-term goals. The other Coin holds the sign of Jupiter, the big benefic that makes both everything bigger. This week, make the choice to keep the focus on the work so that you can later reap the rewards.

Action, The Chariot. This Major Arcana card shows you the charioteer moving forward with speed in spite of the horses who seem to want to pull in opposing directions. She moves forward because her eye is on the prize, her focus is on the destination, the prize, her long-term goal. Her attitude is to not stop, not surrender but keep creating, keep moving forward.

Gift, Queen of Cups. A perfect gift for the work of the previous cards. The Queen is the mistress of her element, in this case, Cups which is the element of Water in the realm of heart, emotions, dreams, intuition and creativity. When you refuse to surrender, when you keep creating and focus on the business and practical aspects of your creative work, when you keep moving forward, you are rewarded with the experience of being in your element, of being in the flow of your creativity.
