Strength

You are being called upon to channel your inner strength and courage to face some obstacles that lie in your immediate future. In order to succeed, you must confront any self-defeating behaviors and attitudes, as well as develop a trust in yourself and what you believe you are capable of handling. We all have an inner soundtrack that tells us things we'd rather not hear. We all have bad habits that should be broken and we all are at times plagued with self-doubt and despair. Yet we all have the inner resources to overcome these negative traits as well. Strength is about the ability to end that which is destructive to our selves and to channel our positive energies, along with our unconscious impulses, thereby enabling us to strengthen our sense of self while handling anything life throws in our path.

Nine of Wands

You may find yourself feeling a bit daunted and overwhelmed by the path ahead of you, but rest assured, you will be more than capable of dealing with all the issues you're currently facing. Life often seems as if there is no possible way to continue, that things are simply too difficult, but this is when you need to dig deep and find that reserve of formidable strength you possess. You've overcome difficult obstacles before and you can do it again this time too. It is vital to conserve your strength right now, to rest when you can and to calm your mind so that you are not only ready physically, but emotionally and mentally as well. Make determination your watchword now and move forward with all the resolve you can muster.

Knight of Swords

This is a difficult time for you and you'll find your life changing suddenly and your everyday patterns being disrupted. Conflict is indicated, but despite the initial troubles you'll be forced to face, this is also a mind-expanding time that will bring new perspectives, dramatic change and with this a certain amount of upheaval. Know that if you stay calm, rational and focused, you are more than capable of rising to the current challenges you're facing.

You may also find yourself having to deal with a rather unpleasant person, one who is unemotional and often ruthless. This person often uses rather cold and seemingly heartless words that can easily hurt those around him (or her). This person doesn't mean to cause pain as this is simply who they are and how they behave, but hurt they often do. Again, stay strong and do not let them get under your skin in any way.

Eight of Swords

You are currently in the middle of a very uncomfortable situation and you aren't sure how to extricate yourself from it. You're uncertain and more than a little bit afraid. Although things are feeling very difficult, they aren't as dire as they seem. Yes, things are unpleasant and yes, you're worried that even if you were to correct the current situation, the remedy will likely be as unpleasant as the problem. You may feel that it might be better to let things stay as they are, but this is not your best course of action. Regardless of whether or not you make a move to change things, you do need to accept your role in the creation of this trouble and that won't be an easy thing to face. Without making any drastic changes, you are still in a position to make small ones which will help resolve some of the ugliness, and even though this situation is not nearly as complex as you think it is, honesty (both of yourself and the issue) is still required. Taking responsibility for your part in this will go a long way towards a resolution you can live with and will also be an empowering experience for you.

Four of Pentacles

You're worrying excessively about your material life and your finances. Your self-value is too dependent on what you have, versus who you are. Being cautious is a good thing, but being overly-cautious is not and blocks your personal and spiritual growth and stagnates your creative energy as well. Having a little faith in the unknown may be a scary thing for most of us, but ultimately, letting go and embracing that faith, that "nothing ventured, nothing gained" attitude is at times what is needed to propel us forward on our life's path. While it's very nice to be secure in our finances, worrying about this to excess is very unhealthy, so confront your fears of letting go and stop worrying about what you have and what you don't have.
