A three-card reading of what you may want to accept, embrace and let go of. And no, I haven’t put the photo in upside down, it was a fully inverted reading!
What can you Accept? (Strength, reversed)
In this card a woman is joined by a lion. Despite the beast’s ferociousness, he is tamed by our lady, who radiates a calmness. There is no sense of her forcing or coercing the lion into submission. It is her inner strength that has given her control. The suggestion is that animal instinct and raw passion can be expressed in positive ways if we apply our inner strength and resilience.
Dressed in white with garlands of roses, our woman is pure of spirit and deeply connected to nature. The infinity sign above her head symbolises her infinite potential and wisdom.
When reversed, this card focuses on inner strength, self-doubt, low energy and raw emotion.
Following a tumultuous eclipse time, the tricks and setbacks of mercury retrograde and a full moon in Scorpio, perhaps you are feeling some of these? How can you accept them and use them for good? What can you learn?
You are being called to tune in to your levels of inner strength, confidence and self-belief. Where do you need to accept setbacks, while knowing that you have the strength and resilience to navigate them? Can you think of other times that you have been in similar situations? Compile the evidence that shows you that you are stronger and more capable than you think.
If energy levels are flagging, are you too focused on pushing on through? Do you need to accept this lull and lean into it so that you can rest and replenish?
This card can also be suggestive of explosive behaviour and lashing out. The invitation here is not to suppress this, but to channel that aggression and intensity in such a way that you aren’t harming yourself or others.
