Well, my week went pretty well…until Friday when my dog Peanut managed to tear her ACL. Luckily we have the savings to get it fixed, but it was savings meant to remodel our bathroom, so there is a lot of frustration floating around this house right now. The question I chose for this week is “What main issue will we have this week?” I chose a three-card draw with the first card representing the problem or issue, the second representing how to overcome the problem, and the third showing what the result of overcoming this problem will look like. 

The Strength Card as a Problem

Modern Witch Tarot

While the Strength card is often associated with inner power and overcoming challenges, it becomes a problem when you become overly dominant or forceful in your approach to problems. It is crucial to strike a balance when harnessing this strength, ensuring that it is channeled in a constructive and compassionate manner. By being mindful of the potential pitfalls and maintaining a harmonious equilibrium, one can effectively navigate the path of overcoming challenges with grace and wisdom.

There is also the feeling that depending on your own inner strength to get through troubled times may mean you shut out others, refusing their help and insisting on going it alone. Asking and accepting help doesn’t negate your own power and suffering in silence isn’t necessary.

Harnessing Your Inner Strength: The Emperor’s Wisdom

Modern Witch Tarot

A key part of being a leader is displaying inner strength and fortitude by delegating responsibility to others. I’m not saying you need to cast your troubles on other people and let them solve it! Instead, the Emperor reminds you that you aren’t alone and there are people who can assist you. There are some things you are holding onto that can be released altogether, while other issues require the assistance of others. Look around at your “court” and see who you can share your problems with. Sometimes just talking it out is helpful. Other times, you have to stop micromanaging an issue and let someone with greater experience guide you.

Embracing the Two of Wands: The Key to Triumph

Modern Witch Tarot

This card is definitely a hopeful one. We see a figure, smartphone in hand, looking outward, making plans, doing research. They are looking toward the left, which is the past, in order to move forward. However, in this spread, the card was reversed, which suggests looking at previous times when you relied on your own internal strength and fortitude. Examine thos past events honestly – did you really go it alone? Who or what supported you then? Compare situations that turned out well with those that didn’t. 

So how will things turn out if you are able to open up and let go of some of your responsibilities? You’ll find it easier to look at your current situation in light of how you have acted in previous situations, making adjustments so you don’t repeat the same mistakes in the future.

For me personally, it suggests that I just need to get through this period and get Peanut her surgery. My plans for the remodel will still happen, I’ll just have to wait a bit longer. There are other more personal issues surrounding this for me and this spread is definitely telling me to stop bottling things up. True inner strength means you can lean on others and ask for help. 

Conclusion

As you navigate the week ahead, remember that challenges are opportunities in disguise. The Strength card illuminates your ability to overcome any obstacles, while The Emperor provides guidance and structure. The Two of Wands promises remarkable results if you embrace new opportunities and face them head-on. Trust in your inner strength, overcome challenges, and witness the transformation that awaits you.
