Strength
Strength depicts a maiden gently soothing a battle-worn lion, symbolizing mastery of inner impulses through compassion and calm. The lemniscate above her head and the wreath of flowers suggest enduring spiritual power and grace while the lion's agitation and the serpent at the edge introduce raw, instinctual forces. Associated with the Hebrew letter Teth (meaning serpent), Leo, and the Sun, the card emphasizes harnessing courage and unique talents to face adversity. Upright it advises trusting and embracing inner strengths; reversed it warns of self-doubt, perceived weaknesses, and the risk of failure when that trust is lacking.

Description
A maiden with long red hair reaches down to soothe a lion who appears to be upset. A wreath of red and white flowers crowns her head. A lemniscate appears above her head. She wears a long, baggy dress made of thin fabric. It hangs loosely off her frame. The lion looks battle-worn and agitated, its mouth is slightly open and has exposed fangs. It does not look at the woman but off to the edge of a card where a snake slithers into the image. The lion has a symbol branded into its haunch. A serpent slithers in from the right side of the card. The figures are placed in a field with rocky mountains in the distance.

Visual Description
A young woman in a flowing white dress stands beside a large lion, her hands gently near its face as if calming or opening its mouth. An infinity symbol floats above her head and the Roman numeral VIII appears at the top of the card. The setting is a rocky, misty landscape and she wears a simple floral crown; the lion's mane is full and detailed. At the bottom a scroll bears the Cyrillic word "Сила" and the small imprint "TAROSHOP.RU" is visible.
