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.

Hi Pam.
I wanted to tell you that I took what you said to heart. I have reread this from time to time to get my bearings every time I start to fall back into old paradigms. And indeed each time I do, I notice something new.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your personal story too and your approach and compassionate non-judgment.
Thank you with all my Heart!

Having been a group member for a while, when I saw Pam had a book available, I knew it was a must read, and im so glad I did. This is a truly fantastic read for either new or experienced readers , every card has so much detail, and lots of threads pull the whole picture together. it's the only guide anyone would even need, as its so very comprehensive. Thank you Pam.

Just had a reading from Pam Richards and boy was it helpful. I explained my situation and my query and she came back with great insights and applicable advice. The information she provided was not a rehash of my comments but new perspectives and direction. No, it's not all rosy (for now) but she delivered the news in a calming and tactful way.
Thank you Pam. So very much appreciated.
