As I meditated about this card I realized that confidence (this week's theme apparently) is quite powerful and people with an abundant supply of it are usually the most successful people we know. They also seem to be talented and quite attractive as well. How can we mere mortals ever compete with that? So we stand as wallflowers on the outskirts of life wishing we were more like those charmed creatures and less like ourselves. And in that wishing is precisely where we miss out on probably the most powerful tool we have access to. Have you ever seen that show "What Not to Wear"? They take ordinary people with no style and teach them how to dress, give them a makeover and magically, they are transformed into confident, beautiful people full of energy and potential (Queen of Wands). Can makeup and better clothes be the secret magical formula to great success? Um, no... but feeling good about ourselves is. It shows how we sabotage ourselves by wishing we didn't have pear shaped bodies, large ears, big feet, bad skin, long arms, etc. when there's no changing the fact that we do. They teach people to embrace themselves and see the beauty they already possess. Once these ladies see how beautiful they really are on the outside, they open up to the beauty on the inside and that is the magical transformation that takes place. Accepting that we are truly beautiful no matter how we are shaped and that beauty comes from within. Makeup and clothes give us that kick start but the Queen of Wands energy that is in everyone is what takes the baton and runs with it.
