8 - Strength
The Fool journeys to Strength, and after the stress of The Chariot, our Fool realises a need for calmness in the face of fears. The inner beast that lies within us needs to be soothed, not rejected or battled with, and so he finds that being gentle with himself is a must. He sees the dangers in his life and how his reaction to them stems from within. He develops a quiet inner confidence to deal with his problems. Now is a time for mind over matter, a time to control instincts and urges so that energy is channelled towards a positive end. The Fool finds strength of mind and conquers any fears he may have.
Within Strength, we find that having control over our personalities and egos is worthwhile and is best done with a gentle and loving hand. When confronted with our problems, now is the time for calm, pure motives, and having zero fear of the problems and issues we are dealing with—a time to allow our self-confidence to shine through, not in a bolshy but in a serene manner.
Our inner beast can rear its head, and we may find it difficult to remain calm in the face of problems. Yet the need to soothe, accept, and control with a passive hand is very needed right now. If we allow our inner beast to roar, it can kill, destroy, and create havoc with those things in our lives that need love, care, and understanding, be that a real-life situation or something you’re dealing with from within.
To be strong, and to make sure that we are not controlled by what lies within us can require courage. Grace is needed; we benefit from focusing on the present and not allowing the fears within to act.
Now is a time for self-compassion; do not display what your inner, angry, scared, or frustrated self may wish to act on.
You can cope; you are far stronger than you think you are.

Understanding Tarot. I thought I could just start this review with ‘with over 400 pages this book didn’t just land on my doorstep, it landed with a thud, to then go on to round it all up in a nice quick paragraph. But no, I’m not even 50 pages in and Pam’s descriptions of each card is meticulous. To read it you feel yourself as part of the card and near enough to touch everything she describes, from the reasons of the colours of their clothing I love how that is so important and will make me look at tarot cards so differently , to everything else in the background, nothing is missed , actually more things are found in the cards I’d never seen before . I’m not going to flick through to the end to say it was all good! It’s full of history, numerology and heaps I haven’t even got to yet, Pam writes with passion and enthusiasm in a way that reads exciting so I’m going to enjoy every page. I know there is other information at the back for everything Tarot and I will read that at my leisure . I will finish with ‘in a nutshell’ it’s fab . Read it and enjoy x
