To really understand every aspect of this card, the imagery can be looked at first. There is a woman tempering a lion. The sky is clear and an infinity symbol is above her head. Strength can have varying degrees of meaning. There can be physical, emotional and mental strength. The woman (woman are not typically thought to have physical strength) has tempered a lion (an animal of brute physical strength). Because the lion is being gentle and calm with the woman, it is illustrating that to have strength does not mean you need just physical ability. It also shows that one person is able to do a lot more than they realize. The woman can be thought of as pure and good because of her white robe. The infinity symbol is seen in other cards such as the magician. The symbol shows the vast amount of knowledge that can be found in life.
This card really represents inner strength and the ability to push through situations that may be harking down on you. It takes a strong will that comes from inside to pursue to the other side. Compassion, patience and persistence are necessary when this card is seen. Those elements are needed to get yourself through the obstacle that is in your way.
You need to tolerate and respect others. You are capable of more than you realize. You need to pull from within to see what you are totally capable of. This card shows balance that is in your life already or could result based on pushing through. It also gives the promise of things will get better.
This is the "take a break and breathe" card because it will get better because of the strength you have. It can assure any doubts you have and make you more confident.
