🦁 Strength

A woman calmly closes the mouth of a lion — not by force but by patient gentleness. Strength represents the kind of power that does not look like power: emotional regulation, inner courage, and the ability to face wild things calmly. Drawing this card means you can handle what you fear. The lion responds to your calm, not your shouting.

Reversed, Strength signals self-doubt, suppressed anger, or feeling overwhelmed by your own emotions. Reconnect with the soft strength in you. The fierce kind exhausts; the patient kind wins.
