Testing our Strength

Hello, hello! Today I want to talk to you about the Strength card! I always enjoy seeing this card pop up in a reading because it's such an affirmation to me. You are strong! Be strong! I like cards that boost my confidence levels. Let's take a look at her. 

This really is a lovely card. The first thing I notice when I look at this card is that beautiful lion. He's big, strong, and powerful. But if you look closely at his jaw you'll see the woman's hand. She's holding his mouth shut with absolutely no struggle. When you look at her you see the beautiful and serene expression on her face. She's wearing a flowing white gown, and a crown of flowers in her head. 

When you see Strength this card is telling you to realize that you have more inner strength than you think you do. She's saying have courage! Be patient and keep your composure. You have the inner power to overcome any obstacle, you can handle what is thrown at you! 

The Strength card is talking about your quiet determination. Use gentle persuasion instead of force to help keep control over a situation. Have compassion and be a positive force in people's lives. She's reminding us to use your best instincts. You may have a way of using soft control so that people are coaxed into thinking like you do. Use that power responsibly! 

A big thing that she's telling you is that you can tame your inner beast. You have the ability to control your basic animal instincts. We're being reminded to be responsible for your actions. Balance your passion and your intellect. Give people the space they need but be a strong enough presence to make a difference. 

When Strength is in your reading reversed she's warning you that you losing control, get it together! She's telling you that you're ignoring your instincts and you need to pay attention to them. You've probably been feeling a little helpless lately, don't lose hope. Have faith and don't lose your desire for better things! Don't lose your resolve. Be wary about showing weaknesses, some people will try to manipulate you. Are you the kind of person that always relies on others for strength? You need to look within yourself and realize that you are strong enough! 

Your homework for today is to spend a few minutes thinking about what makes you strong. Focus on those things and celebrate them! I love you!
