| Strength is the eighth card of the major arcana and the 8th step in the journey
When this card comes in your spread it is there to remind you that in sometimes its better to be kind
to yourself than to be hard on yourself. A young woman stands above a lion and subdues it with gently
ministrations to its head and chin. The lion represents the physical body and the woman represents the
mind. This card says to you "Everything is mind over matter!" |
| Too often we find ourselves in conflicts. Most of the time it's
with our own health. This cards appearance in your spread is an indicator that you have to take charge
of your physical health. You have to treat your body with respect. Todays society is a society of
fast food, bad habits, and generally overall unhealthy attitudes. This card comes up to say that
you need to sit back and get control of your physical health and body. It's a card of taking charge,
and taking care of you. |
