Strength
The Card
A serene woman in white places her hands gently on the jaws of a lion. She wears a crown of flowers and the lemniscate floats above her head. She is not afraid. The lion, symbol of raw passion and instinct, yields to her quiet mastery.
Symbolism
The infinity symbol marks her as the Magician's counterpart — she masters the inner world as he masters the outer. The flowers represent nature and grace. The lion is not conquered but integrated.
True strength is not force — it is the courage to remain calm, open, and compassionate when everything pushes you toward fear. This card shows a woman gently closing a lion's mouth. She is not fighting the beast; she is befriending it.
Self-doubt, weakness, cowardice, raw emotions dominating reason. Fear of your own strength.
