Strength speaks of allowing things to happen in a gentle, flowing manner. Working at a steady pace, your goals will be achieved. This is a card that takes all sides of an issue into consideration - therefore the victory is a just one. The keyword *compassion* is a fitting one - compassion for self and others. Look within yourself at your fears - look from your heart - reach out and heal yourself.

The wisdom of Strength is that of healing - of allowing your path to come to you in a loving way.

affirmation: "In learning to love and accept myself, I learn to love and accept others. In loving and accepting - my life path comes to me."
