Self-Reflection
You are both the girl and the lion. There are parts of you that are wild and parts of you that try to bring wild aspects of your character under control. When the Strength card appears, it is time to look at both of these parts. Open the Pandora’s box of your personality. What do you see?

The golden trick of inner strength is love. The girl has boundless affection for the lion and all his wild tendencies. Have compassion for yourself. Do not demonize your demons. Instead, work to bring them under your conscious control.
Encouragement and Acceptance
The Strength card encourages you to find the fortitude to begin or continue the difficult project of self-betterment, or to use the strength you already have to face outside obstacles.
