Today I pulled Strength, number 8 in the Major Arcana. This card is fairly easy to decipher—a woman graced with the symbol of infinity closes the jaws of a lion, whom it appears will soon be made subservient to her demands. Perhaps this act refers to the beast to be controlled inside of us, yet perhaps also those in the immediate and physical realm. But either way it does suggest we take control of that which overwhelms us using gentle, yet firm, measures. Keywords are self-control, compassion, patience, perseverance, kindness and discipline. It may also suggest that we have the power necessary for such undertakings and that at the times where we feel most overpowered, using peaceful measures as apposed to violence will yield a powerful commissary, which we can later harness at will.
