As the bearer of today’s message, The Strength card advises us to rely on our inner strength in steering our path towards finding solutions in tough circumstances. We may currently or will soon be in a sticky situation. This may be an obstacle that particularly tests our will. For instance, a roadblock may suddenly appear in the middle of pursuing business-related matters, particularly when investing in stocks. Given the fluctuating nature of the stock market, it is only appropriate to say that the business realm is not for the faint of heart.
The dominion of business and the stock market mirror the inherently unpredictable and competitive characteristics of human experiences and even man himself. When we find ourselves in a difficult position, take refuge in knowing that the current situation is only temporary. It is normal to feel discouraged or pull away from it for a while, but when you do make sure you are doing this from an objective point of view. This is the lesson that The Strength wants to impart to us—the internal sources of strength that lie in our mindset and willpower are indispensable assets that will help us navigate both through the world of the stock market and of the world itself.
In the tarot card, a pleasing young woman dressed in a white robe and a flower crown is shown to have an amicable interaction with a lion. Her calm demeanor while gently caressing the forehead and jaw of the ferocious beast is indicative of her indisputable control over it. However, it is not the harshness of the lady that influences this phenomenon. Instead, the loving and gentle nature of the woman has probably made the lion tame. Her white dress that symbolizes purity and the flower wreath on her head denoting the simplicity of nature both represent the wonders of human compassion.
Similar demonstrations of bravery can be seen when we draw on our inner strength and resolve once we are confronted by disheartening challenges and our shadow self. A wild creature such as a lion implies that there are two facets of hardships in which humans normally encounter. The first is that the lion can be an external and temporary obstacle standing in your way wherein it needs to be dealt head-on.
If we are a non-confrontational type of person whose typical strategy is to avoid and evade, we will remain frightened of the seemingly formidable hurdle before us. When we allow ourselves to be swallowed in fear, we also rob ourselves of the opportunity to grow outside our comfort zones by not making a single attempt—without even knowing that it will be eventually manageable. As intimidating as the challenge may seem on the surface, you will never truly know if you can overcome it unless you will try.
The second type of difficulty we face in our lives is none other than ourselves. Our inherent qualities can be a boon or bane to our success. Within man lies the forces of light and dark—we are our very own double-edged sword. It takes an immense level of balancing act to effectively gain control over our animal impulses instead of those instincts taking a hold on us. This is a similar concept as with investing in stocks being nothing more than a gamble—allowing either our rational or emotional side to take over has its merits and drawbacks. Your inner strength will help you balance out the two.
Contrary to popular belief, physical strength is not the only measure of one’s fortitude. Displays of strength can take multiple forms. It can be as simple as the ease of expressing one's emotions and show vulnerability. For others, it can be the grit and determination which enables a person to emerge victorious amidst the storm. There are even others who utilize their sound judgment to weave their way through risky and tight situations. Those gifted with just the right balance of risk appetite, quick thinking, and sound judgment, are often ones who are suitable to navigate the world of business, economics, and any other field that deals with money.
Just as it is important to know the basics of stock trading and be updated on the latest trends in stock prices, having awareness of one's strengths, weaknesses, and worth is also equally important. Our value has a staggering difference from that of stocks. Unlike the latter, our worth does not depend on the economic influences around the globe. Another is that while stocks typically rise and fall throughout the year, our value should increase as time goes by. Whereas the supply and demand cycle determines the stock prices, only we know our true value. No person, especially a stranger, can tell us that.
If you are planning on venturing into stocks, it is a must to set realistic expectations. Since the stock market is full of uncertainty, beginners should exercise caution and moderation in their next actions. Before veterans in a given field have reached that milestone, they will first go through the lack of knowledge and experience in the beginning stages. However, it is their inner strength that has propelled these experts to take that single step that, unbeknownst to them, is already a pivotal turn that can change their whole life.
This is a prime example that there is strength in taking a calculated risk. With the right mindset and intentions coupled with substantial efforts, the universe will find a way to bring your aspirations into the palm of your hands. Continue maintaining your willingness to explore outside the comforts of your domain. Just a caution, you will need a consistently practice your inner strength from here on out. Stepping outside the comfort zone may need courage for some just as much staying in there can be an ordeal for others. Your determination and patience will also be constantly tested in the form of stumbling blocks.
Above all this, showing compassion and consideration to ourselves and others upon knowing that we have differing assets comes in handy when problems arise. There are things that we only know now—and had we known about this, we would have been better equipped in handling past situations. After all, part of the journey of every human is to learn no matter what life stage they may be in. Being kind to yourself for not knowing sooner is the greatest display of strength you will ever thank yourself for.
