Strength Description
The Strength Tarot card illustrates a woman calmly interacting with a lion, using her gentle, loving energy to tame the creature known for its ferocity. This scene symbolizes the ability to harness and positively direct raw passions and desires, demonstrating that true power lies in resilience and inner strength rather than force. The tamed lion represents controlled instinct and channeled passion.
The woman's attire, a white robe, signifies her pure spirit, while her belt and crown of flowers embody nature's beauty and abundance. The infinity symbol above her head highlights her endless potential and wisdom, suggesting that the strength depicted is not just physical but also a profound, spiritual fortitude. This card emphasizes the harmonious balance between gentleness and power, and the mastery of one's primal forces.
