Before we move on to the next 7 cards I would like to take a moment and reflect





Strength is the other card that has the infinity symbol in it above Strength's head, the lion is a very good symbol of strength too., able to be tamed or rage on uncontrolled or turned into fierce protectiveness.

What do you all feel from this card?

Taming your animal instincts with love/ the lady looks full of enthusiasm and may be artistic or creative there may also be a love of animals
the name strength can mean inward strength or outward strength

i think with the strength card, its about believing in urself, that as a person you hold more skills than you realise, and can turn a situation around or have the upper hand,  things maybe overwhelming (lion) but the lady is calmly in control.  

depending on other cards possibly someone who is always trying to control things, life etc.

The woman is holding open the mouth of the lion, it probably represents courage. or maybe, saying..stand up for yourself and face your problems.

The Strength card suggests inner strength and wisdom to me.

A man/woman would not go into a dark cave (or situaiton) without knowing or at least having some inkling of what is inside and be ready to deal with 'it' once he gets there.

The Mythic card has a picture of a man and lion inside a cave.  It looks like the man is actually straddling the shoulders of the lion as he has him by the neck and straining to hold the lions head up.  What looks to be a broken sword with blood on it lies at their feet.

It would suggest one needs strength through courage and wisdom to make decisions in life.  Life is full of perils and the odd battle or two and it will be full of emotion.  Control the emotion, look at situaitons for what they are in reality.  Be strong and you will get through to the light at the end.
