For centuries, lion tamers have attempted to master one of nature’s most ambitious, passionate beasts. Some were successful, while others literally died from their mission. Strength in tarot represents these lion-esque qualities, with the giant cat being at the forefront of the card’s imagery.
This is one of the most point-blank cards in the entire deck. While it is a bit nuanced, since they all are, Strength literally signifies strength. You’re being called to leap out of your comfort zone passionately without remorse. You’ll thank yourself for taking a giant leap of faith later.
The Lion King
There are many reasons why Simba was depicted as a lion in Disney’s classic film. Lions are royal, moving with grand, elegant strides every time they take a step. They are confident, loyal, and passionate creatures who will stop at nothing to protect those they love while pursuing justice.
Right now, you’re headed toward your own kind of royalty. You might not get a physical crown on your head, but you’ll certainly benefit from taking thoughtful risks right now.
There will be a circumstance that arises that pushes your limits. Your primal instincts will take over; this time, though, you won’t regret letting your animal side out. This was likely long overdue.
The Universe calls upon the spirit of the lion to send you some much-needed confidence, usually after you spent long periods being timid. You are going to watch, in real-time, as you shed old skin to step into a new version of yourself due to a risk that you take.
Seize the Day
The lion tamer on the Strength card has a symbiotic relationship with the grand beast. She cares for him as if he were her pet; they respect each other enough to coexist without anyone getting hurt by the lion’s might. As a result, their unique skills help them conquer each day as if it were their last. Of course, they look good doing it, too!
You may notice an infinity symbol on top of the woman’s head. This represents the infinite possibilities that are at your disposal right now. You may be torn between several decisions, with a “safe option” feeling rather enticing at the moment. However, you are actually being called to go against what feels safe and instead go towards what feels brave and exciting.
Your lion spirit is in full force; take advantage of this energy while it’s still in your field. You know exactly what you want–so why not go for it? People often create unnecessary barriers between them and their desires. You do not have to move along with the standard narrative.
The power to create your dream world is in the palm of your hands. Your only caveat is that you need to act quickly before this limited-time offer disappears. These opportunities don’t last forever, and most only regret the things they don’t chase after, not the things they take a chance on, even in worst-case scenarios where they fail.
The Choice is Yours
You were never meant to settle for mediocrity, and you knew that from day one. Now, you have the opportunity to boldly go after what’s been haunting your dreams since you were a kid.
Your instructions from the Universe are to let loose a little. Allow your truest self to shine through, going against any preconceived urges to water yourself down for specific audiences. Be bold and conquer, because you have no idea what lies behind doors that haven’t opened up for you just yet.
