"Strength is the ability to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands - and then eat just one of those pieces” - Judith ViorstStrength is a card about the traits that help us bear the toughest of moments and triumph over our difficulties in life. Inner strength is courage, resolve, self-control and patience. It’s the quiet, loyal, powerful warrior inside who is ready to assist us subdue our disruptive and destructive impulses, desires, and emotions. This card is ruled by the sign Leo, a sign of great force and energy. And like the Lion, our urges can be intense, primal and rowdy. It is the maiden’s charge to tame this wild creature not by force but by her unrelenting, graceful and temperate will. "Harnessing natural energy so that you can work in harmony with it., Being freed from the forces of repression."- Mary K. Greer
