STRENGTH - In the Tarot, Strength represents right use of Will. True power lies in knowing how to temper the ego with love. Using force to manipule people and situations usually results in control issues and a no-win situation. Relating from your heart will go a long way toward creating authentic power.

CONFIDENCE, SELF-ESTEEM, INDIVIDUALITY, POWER, CONTROL, EGO, & WILL are all aspects associated with the card of STRENGTH

The Year of 2006 will be a year where we will be tested greatly with our integrity and how we use our will power to control and manipulate. My sense is that many people who are relating from a material and ego centered "reality" will have a very difficult time this year. Lessons learned from the wake up calls will give people an opportunity to begin relating consciously and from a higher perspective. Hopefully, people will discover the meaning of true power!

For those who are relating from a conscious heart-centered place, they will continue to see (very quickly) how their relationships and lives are reflecting amazing and positive results.

Strength is also connected to creativity and passion! It is time to put yourself into areas of your life where you flow in a positive direction that creates positive energy, joy and happiness. Surround yourself with upbeat and successful people and do fun things!

Strength is also about overcoming obstacles. We are only as strong as our weakest link, so it is also a good time to fortify the weak areas of our life. When we feel good about ourselves emotionally, take care of ourselves physically, maintain mental focus and a spiritual connection, we are naturally STRONG!

The solar plexes is the chakra center of power and relates to our will. It is essential to keep this center clear and balanced as it relates to not only major organs, but is our connecting point between our lower and higher selves. A correct nutritional/exercise program and strengthening the immune system will also be key.

Energy work and essential oils serve as an excellent vehicle to clear and activate your chakras. The time is upon us to utilize the tools we've been given to transport us to higher dimensional frequencies!

EMPOWERMENT IS OUR DIVINE BIRTHRIGHT!

Namaste, Dana
