Find the deck or decks that speak to you most, the cards you connect to most will always be better for your readings and sharpening your intuitive skills. This is just an example and reference for you to trust in yourself!
Strength
A true master is master of themself before others. Strength is about controlling the abundance of emotions and feelings within to overcome any external obstacles. With infinite inner strength, even mountains become molehills.
Keywords: strength, inner power, control, bravery, confidence
General Meaning: Although we tend to focus on strength in terms of muscles and brawn, sometimes our greatest strength is the one from within.
Personal Interpretation: You're stronger than you think and definitely stronger than your inner saboteur!
Reversed Meaning: weakness, loss of control, fear, self-doubt, insecurity
Affirmation: "I have the power to shape the life I deserve."
Symbolism: 8 and infinity, flowers on robe, white robe, red lion
Imagery Notes: 8 and infinity - it's no coincidence this card is number 8 of the Major Arcana and an 8 sideways doubles as an infinity symbol! your inner strength is infinite; flowers on robe - balance of nature and nurture; white robe - purity and wisdom; red lion - raw passion and vices
People: The hustlers around the world and the people who keep picking themselves up no matter how many times they may fail
Places: The gym, the wilderness, the mind's eye
Media:
Personal Insights & Other Notes: While The Chariot often signals external obstacles we can overcome, Strength represents our inner challenges and the ways we can adapt our mindset to be in control of our doubts, fears, anxieties, worries, and insecurities. It is also often about examining our vices and can be a call to action to become stronger than we currently are.
