Alright, alright, let’s gab about this here… what’s it called? Strength tarot year card, yeah, that’s the ticket. Sounds fancy, but don’t you worry none, I’ll make it plain as day, just like Ma used to tell it.
So, this Strength card, see? It ain’t about muscles and lifting no heavy sacks of potatoes, though goodness knows I’ve lifted my share. It’s more about what’s inside you, that grit you got when the well runs dry and the hens stop layin’. It’s about that inner strength, you know? The kind that keeps you goin’ when you feel like you ain’t got nothin’ left.
Now, they got these fancy words for it, like… “resilience” and “courage.” Sounds like somethin’ a city slicker would say. To me, it just means you don’t give up easy. You face your troubles head-on, like a stubborn mule in the mud. You keep pushin’ forward, even when your feet hurt and your heart aches.
This here card, it shows up when you need a reminder of that strength. Maybe you’re facing a tough time, lost your job, or your man run off with the neighbor’s daughter – happens more often than you think around here. Or maybe you just feel plain tuckered out, like you ain’t got the energy to face another day. That’s when this Strength card comes a-knockin’, sayin’ “Hey, you got this! You’re stronger than you think.”
- It’s about finding that inner power, you see?
- It’s that quiet voice inside you that whispers, “Don’t you quit now, gal.”
- And it’s about taming that wild beast inside you, the fear and the anger, and making it work for you.
They say this card is one of them “major arcana” cards. Sounds important, right? Well, it is. It means this ain’t just some little hiccup in your life, this is a big deal. A time when you gotta dig deep and find that strength you didn’t even know you had.
Now, some folks talk about the card bein’ “upright” or “reversed.” Upright, that’s good. Means you got that strength flowing through you, like a strong river after a good rain. You’re facing your challenges, you’re in control. Reversed, well, that just means you might be struggling a bit. Maybe you’re letting your fears get the better of you, or maybe you’re being too hard on yourself. But it ain’t the end of the world, mind you. It just means you gotta work a little harder to find that strength again.
This Strength card, it ain’t just about you, though. It’s about how you treat others too. It’s about showing compassion, even to those who’ve done you wrong. It’s about being kind and gentle, even when you feel like screamin’ and hollerin’ at the top of your lungs.
Think about it like this: A lion, right? Big, powerful creature. Could tear you to shreds if it wanted to. But the Strength card shows a woman gently closin’ the lion’s mouth. She ain’t fightin’ it, she’s controllin’ it with kindness and understanding. That’s what this card is all about.
And when this card shows up as your “year card,” well, that means this whole year is gonna be about finding and using that strength. You might face some challenges, sure enough. Life ain’t never easy. But you’ll have the strength to get through it. You’ll learn how to control your emotions, how to be brave, how to be kind even when it’s hard. You’ll grow stronger, like an oak tree in a storm.
So if you pull this Strength card for your year, don’t you go frettin’. It ain’t a bad thing. It’s a promise, really. A promise that you got what it takes to face whatever comes your way. You got that inner strength, that grit, that resilience. Just remember that, and you’ll be alright. You’ll get through it, just like I always have.
This here Strength card ain’t no magic trick. It’s a reminder. A reminder of what you’re capable of. A reminder to be brave, be kind, and be strong. And that, my dear, is somethin’ worth holdin’ onto.
Remember what the Good Book says, “God don’t give you more than you can handle.” That’s the truth, plain and simple. And this Strength card, well, it’s just another way of sayin’ the same thing. So, chin up, buttercup. You got this.
