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.

What a book this is!
I’ve learned more from Pam’s book in a few days then I have in 6 months with multiple and a crazy amount of Google searches. Each card is broken down so beautifully and in a way that can be applied practically to the day to day. It truly is the book every beginner should start with.
Thanks again Pam x

I received my copy (of Understanding Tarot) this week and already this is my favourite Tarot reference book. Such detailed descriptions of all the cards both upright and reversed but can also be dipped into easily for a quick check to see if you’re on the right path. This is a wonderful book….massive congratulations Pam Richards

Understanding Tarot Book.
I love it!!!
I jumped to the "Using your Tarot deck" and you're such a breath of fresh air compared to other books I read!
I got the Kindle edition too 🤭, but I really needed the paper copy, and i couldn't be happier! 🤩
Kudos to you for this gem! 🔥❤️🔥
I can't seem to find the right words to express myself now, but I think that you brought warmth and humanity to a practice that had been stereotyped for too long.
Thank you! ❤️
