The card of Strength usually uses the symbol of a lion as the lion is known for his brute strength; another animal that is sometimes used is the dragon. These animals are used because they symbolize the “best within” us all. You may think this represents your strength in the physical sense, however, that is not the case with this type of strength, and this is the card of inner strength or the battle within.
None of the major arcana cards deal totally in the physical world. They deal with feelings, ideas, and beliefs. The true meaning of the word strength is your character and fortitude; it is also your ability not only to control your emotions but to also help control your impulses and desires.
The card of Strength represents strength, courage, energy, action, and conviction. The card can also represent determination, virility, and even heroism. This card should not be seen to represent compassion, nurturing, or forgiveness. This card is about forcing your will but it should only be forced upon yourself. This card is not about love or hatred, it is simply put, a card about mind over matter. Be aware that this process is not a short or easy one; it is a slow and difficult process.
If the card of Strength appears in your spread you are probably being reminded that you need to connect or reconnect with your inner beast, but you also need to learn to control that beast, you cannot just unleash it and hope to keep it under control. You need to find the wisdom of your beast, and no matter what you do make sure you do it with precision, grace, and elegance. Also make sure you do so with the good intention of bettering yourself and the world.
If the card of Strength appears in the “How others see you” it could be telling you that others see you as a person who has control over their emotions, you have awakened your intuition and spiritual wisdom. If the card appears in the “Future Influences” spot it could be telling you that these qualities are about to enter into your life, so be prepared.
