You are Strength
Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.
This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.

cool. what deck is that, does it say?
Mine came out "You Are The Tower". I know I haven't been around a lot lately, but I'd sure appreciate some help in making sense of this. While it hit something in me strongly enough to make me smack my fist against my hand without provocation or knowing why, I still don't know exactly what it could mean. Any thoughts?
change you're a collegre professor . The fact you havent given it all up to drink is amazing.
The tower tends to be a card about institutions. The way we make them keep them and mosti mportant how and why they fall. Are you feeling at war with yourself in anyway w, with your job, with life, feeling in periods of great flux and change/?
yes i'm a seefar I admit it
I love this test! It is my current favorite test!
p.s. I used to pull the tower a lot in the mid nineties when I was having work "issues" - not sure if I liked where I was, not sure if I could do better, not sure I had the power necessary to prevail in what I needed to, surrounded by too many "advisors" who were actually too insecure themselves to give good advice, etc.
For me it had to do with NOT using my personal power.
Oh, I see. I was thinking it meant that "I" was the institution. I couldn't compute it.
There is no question that I have major ambivalence toward the institution of academe (and the only reason I don't drink over it is that I'm not allowed to drink over anything arrrgh!). Still, I see that I have a place there, too, though not only there. Which is part of the rub.
Also, it occurred to me after reading you and Z, Amazon, that I see the socially-constructed, political notion of race (and its attendant infection, "racism") as an institution that I struggle with daily and in myriad ways with as much cunning and courage as I can muster. Since I do this as one who looks like me, perhaps I AM the tower, after all. Interesting. Interesting.
Thanks for tipping me to this test, Amazon. I always love getting in touch with the parts of me I can't see. Kind of like touching your nose with your tongue or seeing the back of your own head without a mirror.
