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.

Pam‘s reading was extraordinary and has offered much guidance moving forward. I have been following the “push” Spirit for a couple years now, just trusting where it leads. There are so many elements at this point I thought I would get some guidance. What I loved most about the reading, was that Pam used my terminology. I wasn’t even sure how to phrase my question so I framed it with the metaphor of baking a cake. It was so helpful for her to provide the reading from that same perspective. Intuitively, she used many words common to my vocabulary, which really lit me up with excitement. Both her intuitive reading and the tarot layout were very accurate and validating my own intuition. the validation was great, but better was a little phrases that stood out for me that brought clarification and my next steps. I realized I couldn’t formulate a good question because I’ve been doing so much with the “pushes” that I really haven’t looked at how I felt. I’ve been following the excitement of the energy spirit has provided and now it is time for me to look at how I feel about my role in those plans! I highly recommend! XOX
