As you continue on your journey you come across a woman. She has managed to tame a feared predator, a lion. She is calm and assured and thus the lion is calm.
We often think of strength in a very literal sense, someone is physically strong and can overpower the situation, but this card is telling you that in order to win in whatever your situation may be, that you need to appeal to the good in people, and that often this is through encouragement, not through beating them up. This comes with a certain sense of self discipline as well. It often seems easier to take the more brash and direct road, or to just control things yourself, but at this point you need to take a different route. Maybe this uncomfortable for you, but the more you do it the easier it will become. Sometimes the path of least resistance is the faster one.
Gentleness can sometimes control more situations, and strength fades with time. The infinity symbol implies showing strength in any possibility that presents itself, whether it needs to be controlled physically or mentally.
Maybe you feel out of control in situations or there seems to be negativity surrounding you, and maybe that will reflect itself in your reading, but if this card is there, you will still have success.
I have also grown to associate this card with lightworkers. Lightworkers often have a gentle strength about them. They are healers, while through it all needing to heal themselves in order to find their divine light. They have experienced gentle strength that finds the positive in all things and have learned to not waiver through the most challenging storms. This card may be an affirmation of your purpose.
Always remain confident in your strength and power.
