Strength is the eighth major arcana card. It shows a woman in white petting a lions head and smiling down upon him. She has the same infinity sign above her had as the magician and her white clothing shows her purity. The lion is sticking its tongue out showing that it will not harm her. The zodiac sign Leo is represented by this card because Leo is known to be represented by the lion. The strength card is pretty self explanatory; it represents inner strength and determination. It calls upon us to be mature and persistent in our actions. This card also shows that you have patience for others and respect for their needs. Mostly this card is about controlling the beast within and balancing your more animalistic side with your spiritual side. If this card is reversed it indicates the opposite, that you are weak and have given into this more animalistic side of yourself. It can also show that there is a loss of confidence within in you.
