I went 21st Century for today's Daily Draw. Instead of grabbing any of the decks that sit in boxes and bags on my shelves, I grabbed my iPhone and launched my tarot app. Today's card is Strength. No, that does not mean you can go and kick some ass. Chuck Norris is not on this card. Or on any card in a Tarot deck. If he was it would be The Chuck Norris Tarot and Chuck would be on all 78 cards. But I digress ...
The first thought that came to mind when I saw this card was Compassion. To me, compassion is the most prized trait in a human being. The ability to empathize with someone is more important than love and part of love at the same time.
In the imagery we see a woman stroking the head and muzzle of a lion, who in return licks her wrist in approval. The woman dresses in white robes with a wreath of flowers surrounding her head and one sashing her robe at her waist. The wreaths tie her to the The Empress and her connection to nature. An infinity symbol floats above her head, which reminds us of The Magician. Unlike the Magician who must channel energy and bend it to his will she use kindness to harness strength.
I believe Strength showed up today to remind me that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. That in order to lead, you must show understanding to other's challenges and help guide them through it.
