We have extra energy to do the things we want that are not about the basic necessities of life like earning money, finding food and shelter, etc. Nature has been tamed, but we still want to test ourselves, or test our abilities against others. Not having this energy, we shamble through life, having no interest beyond mere survival.

The image depicted on The Strength Tarot card can be best explained as a woman, over whose head there broods the same symbol of life which we have seen in the card of the Magician, is closing the jaws of a lion. The only point in which this design differs from the conventional presentations is that her beneficent fortitude has already subdued the lion, which is being led by a chain of flowers.

As the variation carries nothing with it which will signify to the reader, there is no cause for explanation. Fortitude, in one of its most exalted aspects, is connected with the Divine Mystery of Union. The virtue, of course, operates in all planes, and hence draws on all in its symbolism. It can also be connected to the strength which resides in contemplation. Other things that can be related to The Strength Tarot card are heroism, magnanimity, greatness, ability, empire, powerful influence, mental work, patience and resignation.

The Strength Tarot card signifies, among many other things, the sweet yoke and the light burden of Divine Law, when it has been taken into the heart of hearts. The card has nothing to do with self-confidence in the ordinary sense, though this has been suggested - but it concerns the confidence of those whose strength is God, who have found their refuge in Him. There is one aspect in which the lion signifies the passions, and she who is called Strength is the higher nature in its liberation. It has walked upon the asp and the basilisk and has trodden down the lion and the dragon. Success and honours are the things that can be most closely related to The Strength Tarot card.
