Tarot reading on creativity

Using the William Blake deck, apparently developed for examining creative undertakings. This website says it is the deck of choice for artists, writers, musicians and thinkers. My question, using the Creative Process spread is:

What is blocking my creativity?

What an interesting deck. I hadn't seen this system before.

Your reading is something I can relate to myself very easily. Especially the first card: "Bureaucracy and administration to the exclusion of the creative."

There's a part of my mind that likes to be in charge of things. It is not the part that produces creative work.

This line struck me as very key to the state of mind in which I can function creatively: "Refusing to be drawn into competition, arguments, and power struggles."
