May - Creatives Horoscope
(Using my custom decks: The Deck of Decomposition & The Animal Deck)
(Part 1: Aries to Virgo is here)
The Elder of Putrefaction!Reversed & Knight of Birds!Reversed
The Putrefaction suit is associated with Air/swords and the Birds suit aligns with Air/swords. These cards are both reversed, so be careful about people telling you how to handle your creative project, their advice may come from their own experience but perhaps it's outdated and doesn't apply in this case. It makes sense you'd want to seek out someone with experience because the knight means you feel like you're losing focus and shooting in the dark - but even shots in the dark can land hits if you make enough of them. Keep working, but except that it will be difficult for awhile.
2 of Putrefaction & 8 of Bugs
The Putrefaction suit is associated with Air/swords and the Bugs suit aligns with Fire/wands. It's time to try to see things clearly - you can find the answer, but you need to make sure your viewing it properly. The answer to your creative block is in your reach, and the 8 of Bugs is saying that when you find it, everything else will fall into place and you'll be able to progress towards your goal with ease.
3 of Skeletons & King of Mammals
The Skeletons suit is associated with Fire/wands and the Mammals suit aligns with Earth/pentacles. You're set up for success, the efforts you've put in have paid off, but it's no time to slack! With success tends to come more work and for creatives, when one project is done, it's time to ride the popularity to get traction for followup projects. That's where you're at now, so don't relax just yet, but enjoy your success too!
The Executioner & Queen of Bugs!Reversed
The Executioner is a major arcana, and the Bugs suit aligns with Fire/wands. The Executioner paired with the reversed Queen of Bugs is a lot of warnings. If your creative project is a group effort, you need to listen to your team because while you may disagree with their perspectives, limiting yourself to just yours is going to end in failure. If you're working alone, this probably means your beta testers/feedback friends/etc. are giving you opinions you don't like or agree with, and you need to listen to them and take what they're saying into account. It may hurt to be told your vision isn't going to be recieved the way you want it to be, but thats why you have beta readers/feedback, for this very reason.
5 of Skeletons & Ace of Birds
The Skeletons suit is associated with Fire/wands and the Birds suit aligns with Air/swords. Good news all around with this reading - it's the time to act, to set things into motion. Your talents and your mind are powerful and will aid you well in your creative endeavors! Trust in them! You'll succeed as long as you trust in yourself and your vision and stay true to yourself and your course.
4 of Putrefaction & 10 of Birds!Reversed
The Putrefaction suit is associated with Air/swords and the Birds suit aligns with Air/swords. You aren't feeling good right now, you may feel exhausted and burnt out and like everything is failed and you'll never succeed - but this reading is telling you to take a rest. You are still capable of success, you just need to take a breather and try again. The creative process is, like most things in life, all about cycles, and you need to take the time to recover if you want to be able to handle things - because you can handle things, you are capable and in control, even if you think you aren't. But first you must rest, step back, and then you will be able to view things with clear eyes and move forward.
