Strength

When a card comes up on consecutive days (or even with only a few days between each draw), it means that there is an issue that is not being resolved and is important enough to warrant bringing it to one's attention again and again. In the case of this card, it means that there are some significant issues at hand: one (or more) in the mundane, every day world of your life that is either being ignored entirely or is not being dealt with effectively due to inner obstacles or blocks not being cleared, thus freeing you to eliminate the more unpleasant issues in your present life. This sort of inner house cleaning is never an easy task but it is essential in order to summon the strength, courage and clarity needed to maintain control over how you handle your outer life and all the issues that arise therein.

Once again, as written in yesterday's reading for this card: You need to find the balance between outward courage and determination in facing the obstacles in your life and confronting the inner traits and personality issues that can become a detriment to your personal success. Strength is not only about tackling life's trials and tribulations but it also gives us the opportunity to come to terms with those destructive behaviors we all possess: egotism, impulsiveness, anger, pettiness. Allowing our more unhealthy impulses to gain the upper hand prevents us from developing a greater sense of self, and in gaining that deeper self-knowledge, we are then more adequately equipped to face the challenges our day to day life presents: work woes, health and relationship issues, money troubles.

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.

Strength

Expect some challenges in your immediate future, but don't despair! By using your inner resources, your innate courage and self-control, you'll be able to overcome any obstacles you may be facing. Being determined to succeed always means having to find the willpower to overcome whatever is thrown your way and you already have the necessary strength to accomplish what you wish. It's a matter of trusting in your abilities. We all have self-defeating traits and inner voices that whisper negative things in our ear. The trick is to find a way to lessen the power this personal soundtrack has on your life. Recognize that you are fully equipped to not only deal with your own powerful emotions, but any challenges presented to you as well. Once you are able to harness these energies within you, you will more than succeed at what you put your mind to.
