Force/Strength ~ Fall in Love With Yourself--Thorns and All!

Tarot Tuesday! The card for the week is Force (also known as “Strength” in many decks), representing: Patience, desire, vulnerability, surrender and self-love. The Force card is associated with the Fairytale Beauty and the Beast…Once upon a time, a maiden encountered a ferocious lion! Her first instinct was to run away. Instead, the innocent maiden decided to befriend the beast. Gently and patiently, she got to know the Lion, ultimately falling in love. In return, the lion surrendered to her. 

The lion represents desire, our inner-beast. Here strength comes in vulnerability, as you give yourself permission to fall in love with yourself—thorns and all! This is a journey of self-acceptance. Consider lifestyle choices benefiting a more authentic you. Don’t force anything. When in doubt, step back and give yourself time to become clear. Be sweet with yourself. Patience is your greatest ally now. 

Wishing you a gentle week!
