Losing patience, losing control, allowing your emotions to run wild, not standing in your power, being inflexible a time to trust in your own abilities

It’s a quality that’s embodied by the peaceful warrior, and by the majestic beauty of a resting lion. It’s a feeling of power, and one of flexible calmness in the center of a raging storm. Regardless of any fear or vulnerability that you are feeling right now, this card reminds you that you are strong enough to handle this situation. Stand up for yourself with love and courage, and insist on integrity—both from yourself and from others. When the world around you is challenging your inner peace, what gives you strength amid uncertainty? Root deeply into that truth, as being fiercely grounded will change the outcome of your current events. Now is not the time for brute force. Lead with love.

It will prevail when it is given the chance to shine in the face of adversity.
