Tarot - Strength

The Meaning of The Strength Card

By Crystal, OCS Clairvoyant Psychic

Card number 8 in the Major Arcarna (Trump Cards) is Strength. Not so much
strength in the physical sense rather fortitude as the old name for this
card is given. Strength tells you that in this matter it is essential
that you keep it together and from that you will gain the upper hand.

If reversed or near negative cards the need to hold on and be strong
is even more important, there could be danger if you let go and allow
yourself to fall apart. Things may take a while but if you are strong
you will make it through a better person.

In love Strength tells of a supportive partner.

In career readings Strength suggests that you may be in for a long haul.
Keep submitting resumes and do not let the rejection get you down.
Remember, all you need is one offer to come through, all the others
simply do not matter in the end.

Tarot - The Chariot

The Meaning of The Chariot Card

By Crystal, OCS Clairvoyant Psychic

Card number 7 in the Major Arcarna (Trump Cards) The Chariot has control
of both sides of his being and with the power of that control moves forward
at a breathtaking speed. There are two sides to every human's nature and
they are often in conflict, pulling us in different directions. The Chariot
tells of one who does not suppress either nature, rather he is able to
reign them together to make forward progress.

If reversed or near negative cards the horses of our dual nature are
running rampant and the Chariot is on its way to being torn in two.
Control is needed if you wish to avoid a breakdown. Possible mental
break or melt down.

In Love The Chariot signifies success through bringing together conflicting
parts and pieces.

In career readings The Chariot can point to driving or vehicles, even a
long commute. A general harbinger of success in careers and business.
