Okay, so I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, trying to get a better handle on my feelings, you know? And today, I decided to focus on the Strength card. I wanted to see how it could represent different emotions, not just the obvious “courage” thing.
My Little Experiment
First, I shuffled the deck really well, thinking about all the different kinds of feelings I experience. I laid out a simple three-card spread – past, present, and future feelings. I kinda hoped to see how my emotional landscape might be changing.
For the “past feelings” position, I pulled – you guessed it – the Strength card! I was like, “Okay, interesting…” It got me thinking. It wasn’t just about being brave. It felt more like I had been holding back, taming my inner beast, so to speak. Maybe I had been suppressing some anger or frustration, trying to be all calm and collected on the outside.
Then, for the “present feelings” position, I got the Lovers. This made me think about choices, you know? Like, I’m at a crossroads with my emotions. Am I going to keep suppressing things, or am I going to let them out? It felt like a struggle between wanting to be strong and wanting to be authentic.
- Past Feelings (Strength): Holding back, suppressing emotions.
- Present Feelings (Lovers): Feeling torn, facing a choice about how to express my emotions.
Lastly, the “future feelings” card was the Ace of Cups. That’s a pretty positive card, all about new beginnings and emotional fulfillment. So, that gave me some hope! Maybe if I work through this Strength/Lovers dilemma, I can actually find some real emotional *’s like the universe is telling me to choose.
So, What’s the Takeaway?
I realized that Strength, when it comes to feelings, isn’t always about being tough. It can also be about that inner control, that struggle to keep things in check. It’s about managing your emotions, not necessarily eliminating them. And, sometimes, that management can be a good thing, and sometimes, it might be holding you back.I think I need to find a better way to let it * little experiment helped me see that I need to be more honest with myself about how I’m feeling. I am on a way,right?
