“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage..”

Do not allow the card’s title to mislead you because it is not about your physical strength. The strength card refers to the fortitude of your character, your ability to rise above emotional turmoil and conquer lower impulses and desires. It shows that once you learn to control your emotions, the next step is to practice courage and patience. Courage prepares you to face the demons of fear and harness worldly desires. The woman stroking the lion’s mane reflects her calming and loving energies. The lion is often associated with courage and bravery, but it is also symbolic of the beast within us raging with wild desires that need to be controlled. Love can conquer everything. The woman conveys positivity that instead of using force, gently tame your raw passions and turn them into inner strength and resilience.

The blue background is symbolic of a disciplined approach and stability that helps you stay calm and determined in the time of great adversaries. When courage, passion, and desires are not kept under control, they become disadvantages and eventually lead to destruction. The draw of this card shows the strength of your character and solid confidence during distressing times. It reveals your ability to maintain your patience to deal with the worst without losing self-control.

Your resilience supports you, and you do not hesitate to speak your mind. You possess the qualities of strength to lead others. You do not try to rule or control them. However, your actions quietly influence and persuade them. People might doubt your abilities, but you know how to control a situation without exerting unnecessary force and dominance.

If you are going through hard times, the appearance of the strength card supports you to unlock your inner powers to find stability in life. You have to tame your animal instincts, raw emotions, and impulsive reactions to constructively using your initial response to anything: practice compassion, forgiveness, and love in everything you do. For taking big steps in your personal and professional life, you must balance your attitude and work in harmony with others.
