She has a quiet strength. She sees no need prove her strength. She is comfortable with herself (clothing) and her situation. Eventhough her situation is dangerious (lion and fire in background) she is comfortable.

I see this as knowing yourself and being comfortable with yourself. Enjoy a quiet strength. No need to over do it.

When I look at this card I see a person who has a lot of patience, self control and courage. I also see a lot of patience, maybe meaning willpower as well. The landscape of the card shows possibilities, her holding the mouth of lion open shows not just physical strength, but she has a very calm demeaner showing me she has patience and her strength is as much mental, emotional, spiritual as well as physical. The openess of possibility yet she seems so in control, showing me willpower.

I see the Magician and Persephone in this one again.

The woman has Knowledge and Peace (the infinity, the flowery robe). This is a true representation of strength, not brute force. The woman recognizes that nothing is to be tamed, but one has to cooperate. She knows that in order to gain respect, she has to show respect. She is strong enough to share her power with others and rely on others as they rely on her. Strength represents a good leader. Leaders such as... Bean (Julian Delphiki) from Ender's Game, for example.
