THE 5 OF INSPIRATION TAROT MESSAGE

The Muse looks down at the challenges and the rivalry below. The pushing and the pulling. The comparisons. The not-enoughs. Sometimes she sees rivalry that hurts, and sometimes she witnesses rivalry that seeds goals and dreams. She sees its many forms, and she hopes to help all of us to see the positive and negative effects that competition can have on our lives. She illuminates opportunities to work together, and she shares ways that we can engage in friendly competition so that it serves as a catalyst for our successes, rather than a road map to our losses. So she gifts us mirrors. Mirrors to see the things that are similar, and to see those that are dissimilar. She gifts us mirrors to look at the way we show up and compete. Some of us push our ideas, some push forward our feelings, others compete using their charm, some with depth of conversation, some with sexuality – and these mirrors are meant to help us discern and distinguish the types of competition that make us better from that which make us worse. These mirrors help us to see the many faces of our own internal struggle to find category, rank and place, and they allow us to better understand ourselves based on the world around us. But most of all, the Muse offers mirrors so that we can realize that the most important person we can compete with is our own self, and that all of the conquests and successes could never teach us her most important lesson: We must always see ourselves as deserving of our own highest accolades, and love.
