Card VIII — the discovery of inner strength. After the Chariot's external victory, the Fool learns that the harder battle is internal. Strength is what you find when willpower alone isn't enough.
The Narrative
A woman gently holds open the mouth of a lion. She wears a white robe and a crown of flowers. There is no struggle. The lion is not subdued — it is met. Strength in the tarot is not brute force. It is the quiet, persistent power of someone who can face what is wild and frightening without becoming wild and frightening themselves.
