Strength card from the Rider-Waite deck
Author: Victor Epand
The card of Strength is not referring to the physical attribute of that characteristic. The strength at work here is of character- the proper control of emotions and desires. This card symbolizes patience, courage, action and determination.
Aspects that are not associated with this card are compassion, nurturing and forgiveness. It is all about control of the self and of the surroundings.
There is a deep seated power here, one that moves softly but victoriously. This state of being is achieved by properly controlling your emotional side with your more rational mental prowess.
If this card appears in a tarot reading, whatever goals you are after can be accomplished if you are willing to be patient. (more…)
