“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” –Lao Tzu
Usually, I complain about repeats. Not today. I like this one! Because I’m still convinced, I was a cat in a former life. It gave me the gift of Leo rising, I’ve no doubt. :cat:
Today’s Tarot Forecast is Strength or Daughter of the Flaming Sword, associated with Leo. As the infinity symbol above her head suggests, she can tap into a seemingly endless, inner reserve of power to achieve her aim. Just as the Magician, it comes from within. She’s taming the beast—she rules her passions, not the other way around. It’s obviously not physical, outwardly obvious prowess we’re looking at. She’d never win via brute force. But with gentleness, love, and purity of intention, she commands the lion with ease.
Know you already have what you need to effectively manage your emotions; this isn’t a woman trembling, at the mercy of her fears or haunted with doubts. She is capable of mastering the situations and she knows it. Yes, it does take stamina and resolve, but she has access. It’s her belief in herself, her own capability, that continually recharges her energy.
Are you finding the strength?

I feel I am, in small increments every day.
Good morning all.
Fab card. Perfect omen for today. I have to clean the hell out of my house … and rearrange the kitchen to optimize for my cooking priorities (without spending a dime, mind you) and then rearrange the bedroom to set up an office/sewing center that won’t interfere with the husband in any way or well … either of us when bedtime comes. I hate technology being where I sleep. I barely tolerate phones and alarm clocks. So not sure what I’m going to do about the laptop and sewing machine being in there. This card? I know I’ll figure it out. That’s a freeing sensation.
I’ll send successful thoughts to all of you as I hit each goal today.
Great card for this time in my life and a repeating theme for me when I pull some Osho Zen Tarot. Thanks for all you do, Dixie. Great combination in you… The woman of assistance and the strength of a queen… true Goddess energy in you. Blessings.
“Know you already have what you need to effectively manage your emotions”
I know this..and I can already tell it is going to definitely take some strength today.
Mantra mantra “Pick your battles Josi..channel that frustration into productivity Josi..you aren’t serving yourself by being pissed off Josi.” That Lion..I am pretty sure he is a part of me today.
OMG you’re speaking my language Josi. Mental Imprisonment on 9/7 & today I’ll use your mantra just insert TRACIE for JOSI! “Pick your battles Josi..channel that frustration into productivity Josi..you aren’t serving yourself by being pissed off Josi.”
Dixie THANK YOU for the advice today! “She’d never win via brute force. But with gentleness, love, and purity of intention, she commands the lion with ease.” This is NOT my normal mode of operation ya know.
Daughter’s coming home/dixiblog/domains/afoolsjourney.com/public_html again this weekend to attend a few events, she skipped one last weekend & I am using ALL MY STRENGTH today to keep my mouth shut as not to ask “so are you going or not?!?”
This is also a good card for my Pisces girl as wel. She didn’t go last week because of fear – lots of angles of this fear springing from the same place in her & I hope she uses her strenth to tame her beast.
So perfect, so needed, thank you…
– gentleness
– love
– purity of intention
:rose:
Got to tame that scary lion. :tiger: She hunts people and tries to bite them, but she can be commanded because I believe in Good which overcomes evil intent. Once again, I’m protecting my kid.
Light Prevails…
Am I finding the strength? Yesterday, I would have said no… hell no. Today, yes. Different day. Different story.
This card has been coming up a lot for me lately. I’m being reminded that I’m stronger than I think I am and that I don’t quit. I have what it takes to make it through.
@Sofie – you’re right on. Light prevails. I was in a healing circle a couple days ago, and I kept getting the message: “The Light always wins.” Yep… that it does!
As my screen name here suggests, I often read the Thoth deck. In fact, I use it most often for pulling a daily card in the morning. In the Thoth deck, the VIII card in the Major Arcana is Adjustment not Strength, so I was gratified this morning when I pulled the Nine of Wands, which means Strength, and then I saw your reading. It really is a strong day. :sun:
Mamma mia, thanks for the encouragement and perfect reminders/confirmation/reinforcement for today. Yep, am feeling it, and good thing too — am having to step up to the plate and stand up for myself there, after a few balls have been thrown at me. Actually am thanking the thrower for giving me the opportunity to learn and practice this.
Thank you all so much for your comments. It’s enormously gratifying to feel these posts are helpful and encouraging.
