While the sign for eternity floats over her head woman tenderly holds open the jaws of a lion. There are passions inside her that she has learned to control, and she transforms the once-violent beast into a peaceful creature. This card represents someone victorious over their foes, though often in a non-violent way.
Strength suggests that you must control your instincts and channel them toward good. If the lion’s fiery, roaring energy and excitement are managed by careful attention, they may be utilized to your advantage.
Your strength is the most basic kind of power, and you already have it. If you are battling sickness or recuperating from an injury, this is a very joyful card. As you would expect, its influence on you and the use you make of it may lean light or dark. You most likely have a proclivity for confronting issues head-on and overcoming them via persistence and willpower. However, with the capacity to conquer life’s challenges comes the duty of self-discipline and compassion. This card may be a warning to take control of your own actions or emotions before they harm you or others you care about.
The card depicts a lady dressed entirely in white, with a floral crown on her head and a waist belt. A lion, as ferocious as any, stands at her feet. Her hand is softly but firmly held against the lion’s head, while her other hand is at his lips. She does not hold the lion’s mouth open with force, but with gentle faith. Her expression is one of sympathy.
The Art of Effortless Power
The Strength card may relate to physical strength, but it is most often used to allude to internal strength. Mental fortitude and faith the powers above are where the woman draws her infinite power. The infinity sign above her head indicates that she has learned to harness the power of the divine and with that quiet strength she can accomplish anything, no matter how dangerous it may seem.
This card could easily be renamed from the Strength card to the ‘Faith’ card but this would not demonstrate the immense power that this type of energy can bring into your life. There is a famous quote from the bible that states “Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.\” – this is an apt description of the essence of the kind of strength this card represents.
This card will also call for a feeling of empathy and comprehension. When you see a lion tamer speak, they will constantly emphasize the need of understanding the lion’s strength and possible danger. They’ll also mention that they’re “huge cats” and that they adore animals. These tamers respect the animals they deal with, and respect comes only through understanding. That’s something the Strength card may be urging you to do.
When you draw this card, consider the following questions: On the inside, how powerful are you? What can you do to strengthen your resolve and strength? Do you think of yourself as a stable, calm individual? Is it possible for you to accept an empathic attitude into your life?
What Strength Means for You Today
The Strength card has appeared today to encourage you to have faith in your future. There is a lot of talk in the new age and spiritual communities about the law of attraction. The strength card can sometimes represent the state of mind that allows you to manifest abundance in all areas of your life. This doesn’t just mean money, abundance can show up in several ways to bring you exactly what you need when you need it. If you lapse into pessimism and negativity based on your current circumstance, you run the risk of perpetuating these unwanted manifestations. Take time to detach from your situation let your vibration rise to a higher frequency.
