Strength

A beautiful woman sits over a lion.  She appears calm and without fear as she is surrounded by wild beasts.  If you look closely on the card, she stretches out her hand it may be a glow of inner energy.  She has given a golden touch to each of the big cats and has captivated them into her power. The strength of her gilded hands has overcome the cats with total and pure enlightenment.   In a moment of grace, your crown chakra is opened in your inner nature awakens to your inner strength which is greater than your natural wildness

The woman as a representation of our higher selves has tamed the lion, our shadow self.  She has tamed our base passions and desires that need to be controlled.  And so this card is about having inner strength in order to gracefully deal with life and its problems in a manner that examines our courage and compassion.

The Strength card doesn’t necessarily mean brutal physical strength, but that inward strength we all have. This card reflects a compassionate approach. When you see this card in a reading you are like the woman who offers love and patience to the dangerous lion in order to tame him. Your treatment of others with love and compassion will get you exactly what you want.
