Strength: Yes or No
What answer the Strength card gives to a yes or no question: “yes”, and how to treat it.
Author: Max Raputum, Warsaw
The answer of Strength: “Yes”
Strength means inner resource and patience, so it leans to “yes”: you will cope if you act calmly and gently.
What the answer depends on
The answer depends on your self-control. If the decision is made in anger or fear, “yes” weakens.
If the card is reversed
Reversed, the answer is “Yes”. The reversed Strength moves the answer towards “maybe”: you lack confidence or energy, and it is worth recovering first.
What to do next
Check your state: have you slept, are you calm. If not, put the decision off for a day.
The answer in questions of love and work
If the question is about feelings: Strength in love is patience, gentleness and the courage to feel. If the question is about work: Strength at work is patience, gentle leadership and inner resource.
How to check the answer
Check the answer with three questions: is there “gentle strength” in my situation? Is the lack of “patience” getting in my way? What am I missing if I look through the theme of “courage”?
