Struggling with Creative Envy? Let Tarot Show You How to Heal Your Heart and Keep Creating

Hi there! I'm Aries Yoko, the fortune-telling manga artist.

"It's painful to open social media," or "I can't purely feel happy about others' success..." Precisely because you love creating so much, feelings of "envy" or "jealousy" toward someone else's talent or recognition can sometimes arise.

Actually, that is proof that you are working earnestly at your creative activities.

However, carrying those thorny feelings makes the pen—which you should love—feel so heavy. In times like these, I highly recommend asking the Tarot cards for guidance!

🔮 What if You Drew These Cards? Here are some appraisal samples.

Let's look at some hints for resolving your current mental fog through examples of different cards.

Case 1: If You Draw "The Devil"

"Just noticing the 'chains of obsession' will make your heart feel suddenly lighter." When this card appears, it's a sign that you are too tied to "visible chains" like numbers or others' evaluations. It's okay to just objectively notice, "Oh, I'm being swayed by numbers right now." It's the timing to take a break from comparing yourself to others and return to the way of drawing that feels most "fun" to you.

Case 2: If You Draw "The Magician"

"That jealousy is the flip side of the 'talent you want to acquire'." The Magician is a card signifying infinite possibility and new starts. The reason you feel jealous of someone is that there is a "seed" within you that says, "I can become like that too." Instead of making them an enemy, try making them a subject of study, wondering, "How can I draw like that?" If you can convert that energy into improving your own skills, you should be able to fly even higher.

Case 3: If You Draw "The Moon"

"Don't let 'invisible anxiety' swell too much." The Moon represents vague anxiety and illusions. It seems that the fear of "I might never be recognized" is making your jealousy grow. However, that is merely a phantom created by the darkness of the night. Don't try to force yourself to move right now; instead, have a warm drink and let your heart rest slowly.
