This is not a muscle-bound strength, but one of inner resolve. It is a strength based on patience and compassion and quiet determination. Going on despite obstacles. A reminder not to give up. It is a subtle and gentle strength, notice that the woman can tame a lion in the card. The qualities of love, patience and gentleness are superior to material power or force.

The symbolism on this card is: curtains - Maya; flower - universal nurturance; gazebo - boundaries, protection; galaxies - unilimited potential; infinity - absolute strength; layers of creation - as above, so below; white bush - herbs and healing properties.

Animals: dragonfly - illusion; lion - harnessed power; mockingbird - sacred song, soul's purpose; moth - soul; snake - awareness; squirrels - preparedness, activity.


LION: Fire element, action, desire, body, Leo sign of the Zodiac, all powerful sub human force, Mars planet Force, passion, animal reproduction, Emissary of the sun, symbolizing light, truth and regeneration, creatures of strength and passion, which can also symbolize secret wisdom. (Found on STRENGTH (http://www.geocities.com/tarot_r_us/maj_08.html), and the KING (http://www.geocities.com/tarot_r_us/wands_14.html) & QUEEN OF WANDS (http://www.geocities.com/tarot_r_us/wands_13.html))

BLUE: The color of the sky and oceans, peace, life, intuition, idealism, reflection, emotion, the unconscious, space and clear water, spirituality, tranquility, meditation. Consistency of purpose, strength and reliability.
FIGURE EIGHT ON ITS SIDE: Cosmic lemniscates, harmonious interaction between conscious and subconscious, between life and feeling, desire and emotion, dominion over the material, eternal life. (Found on the MAGICIAN (http://www.geocities.com/tarot_r_us/maj_01.html) & STRENGTH (http://www.geocities.com/tarot_r_us/maj_08.html) cards)

I'm interested in hearing them - strength is something I really need right now. I totaled my car last night.

Well, strength for me ended up meaning saying no to the nice, new, shiny, pretty car...and fixing up the old jalopy instead. Having the strength to say NO!!
