Card 8: Strength
Explicit content warning
01/25/25 • 45 min
After the Chariot tarot card, we enter the Major Arcana's second line. Tarot card #8 is either Strength or Justice. These are the only two cards that change positions. Strength makes the most sense at #8 because we are being initiated into the cycles of destruction, loss, death cycles, and relinquishing of ego.
In this episode, we will discuss intuitive reading methods, embrace the light/shadow aspects of the Strength tarot card, examine Leo's astrology, and unpack the imagery in the card itself. We will also discuss the need for the Strength card amidst the political climate, and overcoming potential personal setbacks.
The main points covered in this episode and how to go into the depths with this tarot card are:
- Gentle healing and strong resilience rooted in honesty of what needs to be healed
- Inner strength is a practice of evolving and gaining wisdom. To learn and grow is the only way
- Fortitude to find compassion and tending is a powerful manifestation and gift of the spirit

My Desert Island Tarot and Oracle Decks
If I were stranded on a desert island and could only bring a specific number of my tarot and/or oracle decks, this episode breaks down which decks I would bring and why.
I discuss the artistic vibe I need in a deck, which color palettes I prefer, and also include what time periods or feelings these decks invoke within me. Many of these decks have running themes of the wilderness, a Victorian gothic vibe, and a nod to the animal and plant world. There are pictures of these decks on my Instagram so you can see if you would like to bring these decks into your collection.

Storytime: Losing My Pets, My Practice, and Faith and How I am Finding it Again
Experiencing the losses I did in such a short time made me stray from all that I once held dear. The grief and anger took over and made me question everything I had built my life on. Now, I am trying to find it again in new ways. I am trying to surrender, trust, and believe in the practice, hold myself accountable, and use my spirit as a pivot toward the guides I follow, and Lilith, always.
In this episode, I talk about and honor my cats. I honor how they came into my life and changed it for the better. I remember them, which is to keep them alive in my heart.
I also share the three main ways I am working to rebuild my practice:
- Taking time for myself to be, and not focus on an outcome or result
- Asking my guides for signs, and being open and vulnerable to what comes forward
- Utilizing my tools in new ways
