Symbolism & Meaning
In the image, we see a woman gently closing the mouth of a lion. The lion doesn’t appear to be threatened by this action and the body language suggests mutual trust and understanding. The infinity symbol is a reminder that there is always a balance between the physical and spiritual realms. This woman appears to be at peace, aware that this spiritual connection will keep her safe in this moment.
The Strength card represents inner strength and resilience. You may not always feel strong but you need to have faith in yourself. Be aware though, you need to hold onto your compassion as this will ensure you approach any challenges with grace, as well as assertiveness.
How Strength is Relevant to Me
One thing I have realised about myself is that I am stronger than I think I am. I have certainly overcome many obstacles in my life and I have never been afraid to just go for it and start over, when necessary.
With certain things though, especially professionally, confidence always gets in the way. That and the guilty feeling that I am not contributing enough. Thankfully, the money I am about to receive takes care of that side of things. Now, I just need to have faith and use my inner strength to push myself towards the next stage of my life.
I also need to trust the infinity symbol. I am making steps towards exploring my spiritual side but with everything else I have taken on, this is taking time. I will definitely be making one in silver, and I think a tattoo may be in order too. On my wrist, I think.
Basically, I am going through many changes personally and the physical impact is probably the biggest challenge I have faced to date. Oddly though, it also feels like an opportunity.
