Major Arcana - Strength

Next on his journey the Fool encounters a woman mastering a lion, she effortlessly opens the lions jaws, calmly and collected. She's wearing a hat shaped like a lemniscate, the symbol for infinity, telling him that if he wants to conquer his fears he has to do so repeatedly, for all time. The Fool learns that energetic animal instincts can be controlled through a sense of calm, tenderness and courage. All attributes of Love.

The kind of strength the Fool is taught here is dual in nature. Physical strength and moral self control. Handling fear with tenderness and patience changes the nature of instinctive violence into compassion. The card is also one of balance, as the lion represents the male the woman the female, balance your energies and fear will dissipate. Empower your Self through courage and morality and it'll allow you to reach for your goals without fear. But do so always with Love in your Heart.

In the Kabbalah the number ten represents Everything. The very top down to the very roots of the Tree of Life. One is the indivisible number of the powerful ego, and zero the number of infinity and circulation. The combination symbolising the macro- as well as the microcosm. It is Everything.

The Wheel of Fortune will come to you when you feel like life is stagnant. Even if your life seems uneventful, the Wheel always keeps turning, and at some point you too will have experiences you didn't think you would. Meditate on Change and impermanence as that's the only thing that's permanent!
