Strength
Tarot Card Number 8 of the Major Arcana
|
A woman closes the jaws of a lion as the same symbol of infinity hovers over her head that we've seen on the Magician. Strength, in one of its most exalted aspects, is connected with the divine mystery of union. It also connects with innocence and with the strength that resides in contemplation.
The chain of flowers represents the sweet burden of divine law, especially when it has been taken into the heart . This card concerns the confidence of those whose strength is the divine. The lion may signify the passions and she who is called Strength is the higher nature in its liberation. It has walked upon the asp and the basilisk and has trodden down the lion and the dragon. |
| The Strength card represents power, energy, action, courage, magnanimity and also complete success and honors. |
