When our Tarot card for today, the Empress, weaves its way into your day, you are being asked to nurture your creative side.

Most people, when they think of “creativity,” they automatically think of the artist, the musician, the poet (like the late Dr. Maya Angelou)—and then think they are not creative. In my former life (my past, before becoming an intuitive life strategist), I was a cartoonist, so I know this to be true from the many conversations I’ve had with people when they would view my work (a lot of people sharing the sentiment of “not being able to draw a straight line, or a stick figure”).

If that is true for you, come closer, so I can let you in on a little secret: You ARE creative. Every single one of us is a creative being.

Our Empress here tells us this truth. She is weaving from the Wheel of Life (notice the astrological glyphs carved into it, which represents our natal birth charts in astrology). She is pregnant, as well, which is the most creative act we (those who want to have children, anyway) can participate in. This means that we are all born creative beings.

Like the line from those commercials for cotton, the Empress is demonstrating that we all are creating “the fabric of our lives.” Our lives are a tapestry, a patchwork quilt of all the things we have experienced. Those experiences are then woven together, much like the individual chapters of a book come together to become its completed form. What’s the story of your life?

So, for today, the Empress is asking you to consider taking a look at the life you have created. What is the thread that connects everything? Every great work (life) starts with that single thread…
