TAROT The Star and Strength (17/8) The archetypal system of Tarot is ancient. Although records link its beginnings to the Middle Ages, there are indications of its origination occurring much earlier – perhaps even by thousands of years and from distant civilizations. The Tarot represents and reflects (it is) the story of life: each card is a micro-story of the profound, deeply-embedded and commonly-lived experiences of our human journey. Your core Tarot encoding is unveiled by adding your individual birth numbers together and reducing them down: in this case, your encoded major arcana Tarot archetype is #8 Strength. Expounding on this archetype, your birth numbers have also been added in such a way (a system developed by the Amberstones) as to bring forward one (and sometimes two) other major arcana archetypes that also live within you. Together, these symbiotic fields of energy create an additional dynamic and unveil the complexities of your Soul Print’s distinct journey. _______________________________________________________________________________________ You are the energetic archetypal combination of The Star (#17 in the Tarot) and Strength (#8 in the Tarot). As such, you represent a dynamic quality-set that emerges from its coupling and its energetic feedback loop. This emergent archetype and energy signature is one that represents grace, humility power and creative new birth at its core. Note the myriad similarities in the details of the images exemplifying various shared and opposed qualities. You as Star-Strength are here to interweave gentleness and aggressiveness, discern wisely between allowance and control, and evolve balance between unconsciousness-mindfulness, flexibility-insistence and visionary-action. As The Star, you see beauty, goodness and the perfection in nature and in all there is. You are connected to the deeper reality of things and creative process, and you allow things to be and happen without fear. You are calm and removed. As Strength, you see the power of nature and believe its forms need control and manipulation to maintain optimal balance. You are passionate and intense but also feel that restraint is necessary to operate. You are here to evolve and mature the expressions of these two archetypes within you. As the embodiment of the pinnacle point in-between, and you also are here to evolve and mature the cooperative, symbiotic relationship between these two archetypes. www.TheAlchemyofHolism.com When understood, accepted and allowed to flow naturally, this combined Star-Strength archetype within you represents a perfect balance that exhibits and exemplifies harmony. It is from this, your natural place of wholeness, where infinite power is accessed, creativity flows readily, and you live life from your natural place of grace, beauty, peace and strength that is working in innovative and creative service to the world. This theme is a foundational to your Soul Print. www.TheAlchemyofHolism.com .
