Leo – Strength (July 23 – August 22)

A woman, over whose head there broods the same symbol of life which we have seen in the card of the Hierophant, is closing the jaws of a lion. She has already subdued the lion, which is being led by a chain of flowers. Strength, in one of its most exalted aspects, is connected with the mystery of union; the virtue, of course, operates in all planes, and hence draws on all in its symbolism. It connects also with innocence, and with the strength which resides in contemplation.

The Strength card represents your physical strength — like that of the mighty Lion on your card — as well as your emotional, mental and spiritual prowess. Like the Lion, you are blessed with plenty of courage, which helps you overcome problems and obstacles.
