Major Arcana Tarot Cards & Astrology

Leo, the Lion & The Strength Major Arcana Card

When reading tarot cards, we often use the Major Arcana's association with the zodiac signs as significators in a reading. They can signify you or someone else in a reading, and many times readers would gain much insight into the archetypes at play by knowing which astrological sign they represent.

The Leo Tarot Card is Strength. The Leo tarot card can often symbolize someone born under a leo sun or someone who'se rising sign is Leo. Strength is the Leo tarot card, symbolizing someone born in that sign, or someone with strong leo traits like loving a crowd, being radiant and with a strong sense of pride and need for attention. The flamboinace of Leo, a fire sign, is evident in the strength card, where there is a strong inner will, and an even stronger external need to control that will.

Leo, the sign adorned in the regalia of the Sun, waltzes with the Strength tarot card as an image of majestic courage and inner fortitude. Picture the grandeur of a lion tamed not by force, but by the ethereal strength emanating from a figure's gentle touch - this is the energy of the Leo native, able to subdue any creature with it's ability of self control. Leo's inherent charisma and leadership align seamlessly with the card's depiction of inner strength—a power that transcends mere physical prowess. The ability to dazzle the crows, is the Leo super power which the native must use wisely and for the greater good.

The card beckons individuals to embark on a mythical quest within, where the radiant heart, akin to the sun itself, becomes the source of unyielding courage, resilience, and benevolence, heralding triumph over the fantastical beasts of life's challenges.

When the Leo tarot card, Strength, comes up in a reading, it is calling you to identify the secret of self control. That is the true meaning of strength, so an individual is able to change external behaviour of people by acting like a Leo, that is aware of how radiant he is, and knows responsible use of that power is warranted. Leos who control their ego are able to sway the crowd and can achieve expected results when acting respobsibly, using the charisma powers for good. Using this force for good means knowing how to tell apart ego and real values. When a Leo follows real values, and not just the self gain the ego craves, he can achieve the greatest tasks, like taming a wild animal.
