THE STRENGTH TAROT CARD

Oh, so how to tame the beast? The Strength Tarot Card is not at all about physical strength, it's about another type of strength, inner power. If you look at the card there is a maiden, a young woman, taming a ferocious lion. She's not enforcing any brutal punishment on the beast she is simply placing her hand on it, caressing it and loving it. Who is this beast? This is me and you. We all have that beast inside of us that needs to be tamed at times. If you notice the infinity sign above her head, the infinity sign in this case pertains to both the beast and the maiden becoming one. She's making the lion a bit more like her and the lion is accepting this but when she needs to be more like the lion, she can be. So the beast, in this case the lion, always needs more, more food, mates or whatever it needs. It's ferocious needs consume him. The maiden may also have the same needs, but with self love she can tame these needs and wants just as she tames the lion.

You see this card is about you, not the lion. The beast itself is an example of enormous strength.

• Do you need all the strength inside you to take on a challenge? You do have it. Love yourself and be patient with yourself and you will have the strength you need.
• Are you trying to avoid some excesses in your life. Over eating, drugs, anything that is not making you feel good about yourself? Love yourself!!!! Be gentle and kind to yourself.

Don't get me wrong. Sometimes we have to be cunning like the lion to succeed. Do whatever it is you need to do to tame the beast inside you but also do all you can do to succeed over your challenge. 

Also, generally speaking, when we see a wreath in a tarot card, this signifies VICTORY.  So, basically when you see this card in a reading you will be victorious with whatever challenges are ahead.
