The Strength Tarot Card – 8 – I have the power to change

The Strength Tarot Card DESCRIPTION: illustration, colors, and symbolism.

• The Strength Tarot Card shows a woman in a white robe. She holds the jaws of a  fully grown lion. She gently caresses its forehead and jaws. Even though it is known for its ferociousness and wildness the woman seems to have dominion over it. She gracefully controls the lion. She is calm. That is representative of being in control and disciplined especially in times of great danger. She is able to tame the lion through compassion, love, patience, and cunning. There is no effort involved. The fact that she is also holding the jaws of a lion also shows that she has courage. The woman wears a white robe, showing her purity of spirit. The belt and crown of yellow flowers and roses represent the most beautiful expression of nature. Above the woman’s head, there is a symbol of infinity and unlimited potential. So, she has the ability to manifest what she desires with her newfound power. The lion symbolizes raw emotions and is related to our consciousness on the instinctive level. Also, the lion is a symbol of courage, passion, and desire which are part of the human feelings that are necessary for survival. But if these feelings are not controlled that can lead to our destruction. The woman represents our higher spiritual energy. She has managed to gain control over her intrinsic urges. The Strength Tarot Card illustrates that the feminine powers of gentleness and self-control can tame our animal nature. The blue background over the mountains shows stability and the kind of calmness that comes with being stable.
• Numerology: The Strength Tarot Card is numbered Eigh, the number of infinity because of its shape. It is a number that reminds you that everything comes full circle. Eight is associated with abundance and expansion, stability, and securing your foundation. It is also a number of harvest times.
• Wikipedia: According to Eden Gray, the lemniscate above her represents enlightenment and spiritual powers, whereas the lion represents animal passions and earthly cravings.

It also shows that you are a compassionate person and you always have time for other people even if it’s at your own expense.

Questions and wishes for tarot cards

The card advises you to find ways to open your heart even more. Strength is generally a good indicator that you are a strong couple, close and united.

If you are single the card indicates that now is a time to meet someone as your confidence will be shining through. It can indicate a relationship coming up with someone who has a bit of a wild side. If you do want to tame them,  don’t try to dominate them.
• Reversed:   if you are single it can indicate that lack of impulse control or unresolved self-esteem issues may be leading you to choose the wrong partners. You need to resolve these issues summon your inner strength and believe that you deserve better. If you are in a relationship, it can indicate that while your relationship is strong, low self-esteem may be leaving you feeling unworthy. This in turn may lead you to act impulsively. Don’t let your anxiety or fear create problems. Also, the card may indicate that some forms of insecurity make it difficult for you and your partner to be more independent and pursue your own interests. A reversed Strength tarot love meaning can also indicate that force and power are becoming more apparent themes in your relationship.

Just stay consistent and hold your ground and results will come. Show that you’re confident and in control. Stay consistent and be of service to others. If you could harness your animalistic instincts; your anger, your drive, and your passion, you can take big steps in your career. So long as you continue to exercise control, you should be fine.
• Reversed: The Strength Tarot reversed is similar to the upright meaning. You need to be brave and have self-belief to get ahead in your career.  You have everything you need in order to find success, except a healthy dose of confidence and belief in yourself. Fear of failure can be paralyzing if you allow it to be. Let go of the self-doubt, it doesn’t serve you.  Avoid compulsive spending now, as it can do more damage to your financial situation than usual. Alternatively this card can also suggest hesitancy about spending your money on things that can be helpful to you now, even if you may have an abundance of funds.

Also, this card often shows up in a reading when you are feeling physically sick, tired, or stressed. It can represent overcoming an illness or beginning to get your strength back. The Strength Tarot Card in a health context tells you to be conscious of your instinctual urges and gut reactions. It is completely human that you’re feeling sad, angry, or ashamed. The card advises you don’t let these emotions guide you. Tame your animal instincts, and regain the power within yourself. Above all approach your situation with compassion and love. You know that you have the qualities to overcome these. Listen to your intuition. And do not be guided by negative emotions.
• Reversed: In a health context, The Strength Tarot Card is still an indicator of good health.
