Strength
"Strength and grace through kindness. Self-confidence. Forgiveness".
"You have great strength and compassion! The kindness and understanding that you give to others are a blessed gift. However, it is equally important to show gentleness toward yourself. You may see aspects within you that cause you worry or impatience. But every person is a child of God. It is by balancing all aspects of yourself with love and mercy that you learn to exhibit those same qualities to people around you.
You are far stronger than you may believe. The situation you find yourself in requires a very soft and sensitive approach. Archangel Ariel can help you stay strong in the face of any challenge.
Additional meanings of this card:

JUST A THOUGHT (or two) ABOUT THIS CARD:
What stands out for me with this card is: Grace through kindness and Forgiveness
Here's why:
The Strength card is my favorite favorite card in the deck! Always has been - maybe its because it shows a beautiful lady oozing gentleness and love taming the wild but now-purring like a kitty lion with her presence.
So it shows miracles. It shows that there is ALWAYS time to be kind and be noble, genteel and a peaceful presence in this world.
So what if your main savage beast is your mind. This card is the nudge that says :
"Hey - wait a minute! That person you're beating up there is ME!!"
This brings up that old yarn about the finger pointing. As you point one finger out in judgment of another, there are four other fingers pointing back at you.
I recently decided to give myself a day of pampering - the leisurely wake up, sitting on the patio sipping tea in the sun. Waited for a ride from my homegirl and we hit the Salt Caves and then was off to a masseuse with our names on it.
That slowdown and nurturing day clicked me back into my own purring, contented kitty routine and guess what? It made me feel loved.
When it all comes down to it, the Strength card is a reminder to just do that. Love yourself up something fierce and then you will be strengthened to do what you "need" to do because you have been supported by the most important person in the world - YOU!
So then once you've taken care you, then this good loving feeling will spill over onto others.
So go on! Treat yourself! You not only deserve it - the whole universe is aching with anticipation of you doing just that.
Let's delve into the symbols
Here's why -
"Strength"
- is the 11th card in the deck. Eleven is that elemental number that is a Master number that speaks wisdom and connection to the very essence of the Divine. It is a 911 direct number to that which has brought you here.
The Strength card shows gentleness overcomes conflict. Love is the light in the dark hallways of your ego. Your ego is your chrysalis stage where things get all choppy but the real truth is that you are safe and just need space and time to evolve into the greatest and most beautiful version of yourself.
So if you are in the chrysalis, you don't struggle. You surrender. You flip around aggression and banging your head against hard rock.
If you're in beef status with a loved one, you back away. Give yourself a breather and a time out and go do something that nurtures you and your overstimulated self.
Real strength is about knowing what is right for you at any given moment. Trusting and loving you for all you are and will be.
The beautiful heart within you is your oasis and space for succor and benevolence.
Be confident in that and you'll realize that there are other ways besides Hulkin' Out on a fellow brother/sister who is just as bewildered and scared about the future as you.
Love yourself so well that you can't help but show up as a beacon of light for others suffering in the dark.
Find your courage and strength through kindness and you'll have all the superpower you have ever needed and more.
Here is a quote to help illustrate:
""Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
Lao Tzu
Here's an affirmation to use to help get in the flow:
The light of God surrounds me; the love of God enfolds me; the power of God protects me; the presence of God watches over me. Wherever I am, God is
And so it is.
And So It Is.
