Celtic Cross - La Force at the left - Passing influence

Post by Beeblebrox » Mon Feb 09, 2009 5:17 pm

Hi.

I completed a celtic cross reading, and while what I see makes sense for far, I am perplexed about the meaning of La Force being in the position at the left of the spread, suggesting "something to be released".  Shouldn't strength be a mainstay? How can one release it? Or is strength in this position suggestive of "raw and unbridled power" - something that might be necessary for a time, then released?

Help?

Thanks . . . .

Are you saying The Strength is in the passing influences section?

La Force - Passing Influence or something to be released

Hi, Yes. Precisely. I can't seem to link this card with any spiritual, psychological or emotional experience. Passing influence? Something to be released? The only thing I can think of is that if there were an event that was growthful or positive and yielded a sense of victory ( or something like that), then perhaps the querent would be "holding onto" this event far past its time?

I suppose this could mean the following:
At some stage in our lives, we get periods of inner strength which the Universe grants us to meet certain challenges. Once those challenges are met, or once we have acquired that kind of strength, we may not consciously feel they are there and, therefore, may not feel the need for it. Whilst it may be a passing influence in position six, I also believe that it will be there if we ever wanted to tap into it for empowerment.
