Restless? Practice Patience in Your Creative Work

MONDAY TAROT MESSAGE FROM THE MUSE, 4/17/2023

Theme, Knight of Wands. Wands is the element of Fire in the realm of spirit, creativity, career, and work. The Knight is the champion, the one trained to serve and protect the realm, the one with the tools and equipment to do what is needed and desired. This Knight has a hard time staying put. Adventure is their middle name. And they hate to be bored. This week, don’t let the desire for the next new thing, the next new adventure make you hurry your process or your creative work. Check the impulse to dash ahead. Instead, take a deep breath, be present with the work, practice patience.

Focus, 5 of Wands. Wands again and this time the five which is the point of challenge and conflict in the tarot. Here again is the issue of restlessness. So, ask yourself, “Why I am restless? Do I need to take a break, practice patience? Am I feeling pressured by other roles and responsibilities? Is the creative work challenging right now and that makes it hard to stay present and focused?”

Action, Queen of Wands. Yes, yet another Wand, but this time you have the mistress of the suit the one in control of the element of Fire, that passion and excitement that can contribute to restlessness. This Queen challenges you to be in command of your passions and energies and direct them into the work rather than away from it. If you believe in the work, then she urges you to commit to it and let your passion and excitement lead to your vision and success.

Gift, Page of Wands. Apparently, it’s all about the Wands this week, the spirit, passion, and desire that you bring to your work. This Page is an excitable messenger, eager to offer new insights, ideas, and directions. If you practice patience with your work, then this Page arrives with their gifts, helping you to overcome obstacles and be more lighthearted.
