strings of life
A woman, who appears to be a lion trainer, stands among the pack. They seem extremely comfortable around her, as does she around them. There is a sense of balance: two lions and two lionesses, a total of four. Things have come together and whatever it is works right now.
The positions of the lions are all different. A lion stairs to the right, representing action. He seems to serve as a reminder to be cool, calm, and collected. A lioness stares forward straight forward at us, her expression calm expression an assurance for us to trust her [or ourselves]. Another lioness stands on his hind legs, faces a wall, and looks up above; his front paws not visible to us. The last lion also stands up on his hind legs and has positioned himself right in front of the woman. She appears to have her eyes closed and is taming the lion, who seems completely under her control. Her arm to the right pets his mane and her left hand caresses the side of his open mouth as he roars. Although he is roaring, he won’t harm her since he is in her complete control.
The woman wears a red gown symbolic of passion, desire, control and will. There is a gold star on the lower part of her dress, mirroring the color of lions fur, symbolic of her growth. The pink sash which is part white and red could represent her innocence and trust to achieve what she desires. In this case, she has conquered her fears inside and out.
There is a wonderful sense of confidence in this card. It takes courage to combat what feels foreign or unknown to us, but sometimes a risk needs to be taken in order to find out what the outcome can be. Strength comes from within and doesn’t need to be taken by force.
