When the Strength card presents itself, the symbols of the maiden and the lion, or beauty and the beast suggest that the situation calls for self confidence, patience and strength, or that your position is strong.
Some readers may intuit the meaning of the card as a call for you to channel your inner animal passions to get what you want. The strength of the lion has been tamed by the maiden's compassion, love, patience and cunning. Astrologers associate the strength cared with the sign of Leo, a sign of courage and great pride.
