Glimpsing the chaos of this dazzling reality of intense patterns and colors, one can even notice that the scenery seems familiar to the garden of The Lovers, but with too much more contrast. The twilight light of the scene and its protagonists indicate a new transformation, the twilight as far as ego issues are concerned. After facing external conflicts, this is the moment when it is necessary to tame your instincts.
In this card we have a woman adorned with flowers and a white dress, as if ready to dance for the solstice, and a lemniscata on her head representing her connection to magic, to the whole. The tender woman caresses the lion, opening the animal's mouth as if wanting to discover something visceral, and the lion, in turn, absorbed with too much delicacy, surrenders to the ravishing influence.
With the lion archetypes, representing courage and strength, and also the anima, related to emotion and sensitivity, we have a card that encourages deep personal development. We must first tame our intense passions, our instinctual side, before exercising our power. Demonstrate mastery in both the material and spiritual fields, directing all strength to conscious desires, away from the influence of a childish ego, unreasonable impulse. #009 The Strength.
