Remember Your Strength As A Woman The card and message for today is from the 11—Strength. We see depicted in this card the Irish fairy Goddess Brigid, powerfully surrounded by 12 animals she loves, making her the 13th living being in the card, or the “circle.” She feels completely safe with these animals and in her place on Earth, and is happily expressing her enthusiasm and love for life. Brigid is holding out her ego in her left hand, in the shape of a small sun. The wolf is sniffing it, so it knows what Brigid is going to do next. The Strength card expresses that it is possible to be strong without being threatening or dominating. Strength is our inner fire and energy that makes transformations possible through seemingly magical means. Yesterday, Mercury’s Retrograde period officially began. It brought with it tests to my strength as a woman. I was placed in a position where I had to stand up and say…this is unacceptable. I was hired to be a Family Consultant and my first salary check is delayed due to the error and delay of the Director doing necessary paperwork. I understand. We are in the thick of several Retrogrades so shit happens. But the sticky part came when she admitted her covered up mistake (last minute) but refused to go about resolving it creatively and respectfully. My time and services are valuable - act like it. This meant -in her mind- getting my first check around the 20th of May. What? I started work on the 9th of April. I was not going to pay for her mistake and suffer the financial delay and setback while wait for almost sex weeks to get paid. Hell No! So my Uranus & Pluto living in my 11th house took over. They are the gods that deal with groups and organizations (as well as prayers, hopes, and wishes) through me. Truth is, these two gods are not to be played with. I also know how kick-ass they are and the paper trails they’ve made me leave behind in organizations, groups and corporations who were not playing fair games. I’ve never known how to stand by and watch. I only know how to get in the dirty waters with them, swim under and bring up their bullshit from the depths. And because of that …CHANGE always takes effect when I come through and leave. It’s a trend in my life that I don’t talk about much. It is because it brings out my warrior fighting spirit each time and it’s one that I admit that I had even feared. But it was because I had not taken the time to sit with it and get to know and value its purpose. These two planets bring out my Woman of Strength. Besides War has become so twisted and muddled up that it’s difficult to find true warriors fighting for a real cause any more. The true soldiers of life have all died or been murdered. The spirit of war has become infested by greedy corporations and skunky leaders. People don’t know the value of a true honorable fight anymore. They sit on the outskirts and watch or turn their backs, holding sexual tensions thick and hard. We are all now afraid to fight because of the imbalance of our Mars. In this card, Brigid has no fear because of her deep connection to the Earth and to her community. She is an independent and free woman, who knows how to draw upon her chi or kundalini energies for her needs, or for others if they need to be healed. Sometimes worrying about facing an ordeal is actually harder than doing whatever it takes to get it done. Strength reminds us that we can face our fears and demons gently, and deal with aggressive people in the same way, sometimes with the best results. The Matriarchal one represented in Motherpeace Strength is also known as the “Lady of the Beasts”, as she tames the animals with her spiritual forces. She has the Strength of any savior or redeemer, and is also known as Mistress of the Spirits, a shaman, Sybil, Prophetess, and Witch. My Mars, Uranus & Pluto are all in Virgo natally; they fight with the pen as their sword and through the word, mind and intellect as they have me do. The Virgo energy is strategic, good with the details most overlook. It helps me see through it all. I pick at my opponent and tear them apart. I discern their weakness and see their flaws. I use it all against them to help them move into their strengths. Thus the paper trails. They are evidence to show. I am wise to always document the events and put it all in writing. Then when it’s all over and the dust has settled, we each can have a transcript of definite transformation- mainly authored by yours truly. -- source link
