Strength represents strength, courage, self-control, and compassion.
A white clad woman gently holds a lion’s mouth open while the symbol for infinity hovers above her head. The Fool, triumphant over his adversaries, is feeling pompous, intense, even vindictive. There are passions within him he is unable and unwilling to control. It is in this situation that he meets a lady battling with a lion. Rushing to help, he witnesses her turn the once violent beast into a calm animal.
This card advises that you need to control your base impulses and direct them toward good. The hot, thundering vitality and eagerness of the lion can be used to your benefit if it is controlled by caring consideration.
Your strength is the rawest form of power, and you possess it in some form. It is a very happy card if you are fighting illness or recovering from injury. As might be suspected, its influence over you, and the use you put it to, can trend towards light or dark. You likely trend towards facing your problems with courage, head-on, and conquering them through perseverance and will. With this ability to overcome life's obstacles, though, comes the responsibility of self-control and compassion, and this card may be a warning to take command of your own actions or emotions before they damage you or the people you care about.
