The Major Arcana Tarot card associated with Leo is VIII Strength.
By Michelle Crandell
If your astrological sign is Leo, your Major Arcana card is Strength. This card represents the natural gifts you have at your disposal to help you actualize your life’s purposes. Three of your gifts are presence, power, and persuasion. Your life challenge: learning to be both strong and kind. Your life journey: becoming an individual of strength and character.
The Strength card calls upon you to harness fortitude, vitality, and enthusiasm to express yourself in creative ways. Naturally charismatic, you draw people to you and can influence others to do things they would not ordinarily consider. Strength calls upon you to tame the beast within, to model courage, and to use your radiance and power for positive purposes.
The Strength card advises Leos to use their “Highest Self” to tame the shadow aspects of the card; not by force but rather, by negotiation. Without self-discipline, the exploitive, attention-seeking, controlling, dogmatic, conceited, and vengeful aspects of Leo can run wild and do great harm.
Archetypical examples of Strength include Hercules, Sampson, the Black Panther, and Cleopatra.
