Strength

The next card in our deck is Strength, representing Leo!  Typically, the Strength card depicts a woman stroking the face of a male lion. She is wearing a white robe and a crown of flowers. Over her head is the infinity symbol. The lion has been tamed - there is no coercion or force in their interactions. The lion is meant to be a symbol of raw passions and desire, and in taming him, the woman shows that instinct and passions can be channeled in positive ways when inner strength and resilience are applied.  Last month's Chariot encouraged you to move forward, boldly and with action - it was a card focused on external action, strength and will. The Strength card is similar in nature, but turns inward. This is a card focused on inner strength and the human spirit's ability to overcome any obstacles. Upright, the Strength card is about strength (naturally), courage, persuasion, influence, and compassion. Reversed, it represents inner strength, self-doubt, low energy, and raw emotion.  Pull
