STRENGTH: OVERCOME ANY OBSTACLES

The Empress:
Clear up a misunderstanding and free up some time and space to begin something you've been wanting to do but felt beyond your means.

Today, you are the equal of anyone. Be gracious.

FOCUS ON STRENGTH

What Should I Focus On?
Strength
Card 1 (Strength) : »

This may be a time when the only things which will get you through are good old fashioned courage and bravery.

Some say that we are not measured by our successes, but how we deal with our failures. This implies the choice between wallowing in our negative thoughts and emotions, or hauling ourselves up by the boot straps and finding the courage to go on.

If you want a promotion or you are seeking a new job, but set backs and rejections are making you feel like a failure, keep applying - don't give up.

In the area of love, have the courage to do what's right for you. Avoid focusing on loss, rejection and loneliness, and instead focus on the possibility that you will find the kind of love and relationship you desire ... or that it will find you!

In the area of finances, focus on the money that's coming in, and find ways to increase the flow, rather than focusing on any expenses or losses that are draining your resources.

STRENGTH: DETERMINATION AND POWER

Strength:
Anger could raise its ugly little head today, but you have things under control. Don't engage, if possible, and tactfully deflect the worst of whatever misunderstanding caused the outbreak. If it's repressed anger, there may never be any loud or angry words. You can smooth any ruffled feathers simply by standing up and not being intimidated or rushed into any action or opinion. Be at your best today.

The Strength Tarot card represents strength, determination, and power in a manner similar to the Chariot. However, the differences between the two Tarot cards are obvious. Where the Chariot represents outer strength and will, the Strength card represents inner strength and the power of the human spirit to overcome any obstacle. The meaning of the Strength Tarot card is about knowing that you can endure life’s obstacles by drawing upon your inner strength and confidence. You have great stamina and persistence, tempered by an underlying patience and inner calm. You are focused on what you need to do, and you go about it in a way that demonstrates great composure and maturity.

The Strength Tarot card also reflects a compassionate approach. You are like the woman in this card who offers love and patience to the ferocious lion in order to be able to tame him. You give others space and you are tolerant of their needs. You are accepting and can easily forgive any imperfections. In doing this, you create a safe and trusting environment where you can then gently influence others. This demonstrates a level of ‘soft’ control, persuading and coaxing others to your way of thinking.

STRENGTH: RESOLVE AND ENDURANCE

The Strength card Under a golden sky, a woman gently pats a lion on its forehead and lower jaw. The woman gazes down at the lion with a peaceful smile on her face and appears to be successfully taming this wild beast. The fact that Strength is represented by a woman indicates that this card is not focused on pure physical strength. She has the infinity symbol above her head, the same symbol seen in the Magician. Her white robe is that of the innocent Fool, indicating a purity of spirit.

STRENGTH

 

The Strength card affirms that my alter ego today is the seductive beast of my Animagus, whose superpower is to master self-control to tame fears or impulses to prove of what stuff I'm made. I boldly go... but a willful heart is part of my secret identity. My infinite fortitude is seen by what I do, sacrifice or defy to stand up for what I feel is right, including admitting when I'm wrong, keeping out of it or not dignifying responses provoked by moral cowards and brutes.

When resolve is tested I draw on the courage of my true character from the more savage or humble virtues of my natural instincts to maintain objective by composure. This enables me to hold my tongue against bravado, repress claws at empty threats, and not turn tail in pride against passion when it's hard or inconvenient, but to persuade through self-restraint until assimilation is complete or resistance is futile.
