Tarot Card of The Day: Strength

Deck used: Radiant Wise Spirit

The Strength card has a strong message for me today, as well as for anyone else who may be reading this. This one feels literal and visceral. I can feel my hands on the jaw of the lion. Holding strong.

Take a moment to consider how the Strength card fits into your experience. Is there something you need to do that is testing your strength? Physically, mentally, emotionally? Strength asks the question, “how can you navigate this situation with grace and ease?” What strengths do you embody, which you can use to your advantage in working towards achieving your goals?

Strength is one of my favorite cards for two reasons, one is the theme of it, finding inner strength, figuring out a way to gracefully navigating life’s challenges with ease. The second reason I love this card, (The RWS version) is the beautiful imagery. I feel that Pamela really outdid herself on this beautiful illustration. The lines are so elegant, the feeling of strength is portrayed so delicately. This is a kind and gentle strength. A feminine strength, growing from wisdom and fortitude and perseverance, not through violence or brute force.

This card is so visceral. When I look at it, I feel myself in the image. I feel the jaws of the lion. Anyone with a dog may relate to this physical struggle with a beast, that cannot be won through physical force. What needs to be applied is calm. Sharing your calm with the beast. Soothing a difficult situation.

It sends a message to me about ease. That life is not a struggle. It’s not meant to be a struggle. If life feels like a struggle then its time to step back and reconsider our actions, our thoughts, our beliefs, our situation. And find a way through challenges that feels empowering and victorious. Rather than like hardship, difficulty, defeat or despair. Sometimes this can be achieved through simply practicing gratitude or by re-framing the situation.

Today, I see The Lion as a wild opposing force that needs to be tamed. And myself as the lion tamer. I will embody the essence of the strength card and navigate this wild beast with grace and ease. Because I can. If I am willing to see a way. Instead of focusing on the challenge, or the difficulty, or letting myself slip into unproductive thoughts that will derail me from my goal. I will allow myself to find a positive way through. You can too.
