The Creative Struggle
The Artwork
Sexy, creative, aggressive, and productive — the pursuit of a vision that overcomes obstacles.
What This Card Means
'Fight' is often associated with this card, but it is fight in its most artistic form — drama, art, and poetry are the struggle underlying all creation.
The Archetype
Fight, yes, but in its most artistic form — drama, art, and poetry as the actual struggle underneath everything created. Jung didn't treat creative resistance as a problem to eliminate; the friction itself was often where the real material of the work came from.
A Practice For Today
Push through resistance on one creative or difficult task today, instead of waiting for the resistance to disappear first.
