~ Most appropriately, the card I drew for today is called “Strength.” It’s from the Angel Tarot deck, and features a beautiful image of the lovely Archangel Ariel. Take a close look at the artwork and allow your own personal message from Ariel to form. Listen to what your inner voice is telling you. Take note, also, that this is the number 11 card with a colorful rainbow at the top. It speaks to us about us about the great transformation which is happening, and that our weathering the ups and downs will require a very special type of strength.
~ The card depicts Ariel astride a powerful tiger. But notice how the tiger is doing her bidding; it’s going where she wants it to go, and it’s doing so happily and without resistance. She uses a gentle touch and she is kind. Even though the tiger is known to be a predator and very independent, her use of a more gentle type of power is putting her in sync with the tiger, and more importantly-she’s in control of the direction they both take. So herein lies the lesson…
~ It’s a conditioned response of the Human being to want to use aggression to overcome life’s challenges. We’ve been taught that it’s all about the survival of the fittest, that we need to dominate, use force, be tougher and better than everyone else. These ideas have their root in fear and insecurity, and rarely do such tactics ever yield the results we’re seeking to achieve. Your true strength lies in your ability to genuinely understand the people and the situations taking place around you. It’s important to have patience and take a creative, rather than a forceful approach to life’s challenges. Take ample time to examine the people and situations you’re presented with, and then figure out how they operate and what your goals are. Use compassion and common-sense to flow with the energies of the very thing you’re trying to get control of and then determine the best way to make these things fit into your own life.
~ You are so much stronger than you realize. Within you lies the power to manifest a wonderful life for yourself and your loved ones. There is great strength in gentleness. Being honest, compassionate and non-judgemental is the way of the New World. Embrace each new challenge as an opportunity to refine these important qualities within yourself, then step back and be amazed by the miraculous results!
