(This is a Rider Waite Tarot card that shows a lady in a white frock with flower belts, and an eternity sign as a halo, petting a lion and holding its mouth shut.)

A female adept has such presence the beast who comes to attack ends up purring while she holds his big ol’ mouth shut.

You can be she.

This is the confidence that gives pause to muggers, or the spiritual maturity that makes you invisible to the dark side.

Strength’s emphasis is on taming the beast, providing a solution, preventing attacks or opposition, quashing bad behavior, exerting an influence, taking control or taking charge, making a solution and nipping opposition in the bud. Strength is conquering your own downside, your private demons, whatever is getting the best of you.
