Hi!
Can you help with the interpretation of the Strenght card? Especially in the position of the outcome. I usually read it as an advice to persevere, to hold on...but what outcome the strenght suggests? I've read that in health related questions it suggests that you will regain your strenght, that your health will improve, etc.
But what about other areas? In love - what does it suggest in love? Or in money/business related questions? And does it predict, suggests any kind of events?
Thanks for sour insights!

Strength is about taming the inner beast (fears, addictions, aggressive impulses…) using your concentration, personal skills and courage. The lady on the card is opening/closing the mouth of the lion by focusing on it and applying a soft control, but for a long time. She is both patient and perseverant, and she relies in her power to achieve her will.
As an outcome it points you can achieve your goals, but it will not be easy. You will need to invest time, have self-control and think in a positive way. No rushing or using brute force here.
In love, it is desire and dedication. It can show a strong, tender and committed relationship, with abundant sex. The impulses are under control but not repressed. On the bad side can be very dependant.
In business, can show a strong and steady business which grows slowly but in a consistent way. Or the need to endure and use money wisely in order to prosper in the future.

Sometimes when I look at the Strength card
I can imagine the lion as the long, hot summer
months... and now with the time of harvest
the lady appears to wrest from the ripe fields
the life giving grains, the provisions for survival.
She gently coakes from the lion's mouth each
formed and precious kernel to last through the
coming winter, and provide for spring planting.
Let you eyes look softly upon the harmonies...
because as searing as the sun may be, it gives
of itself to the fields sown and ably cared for.
Strength is there as receiving of, not taking from.

The strength card in the most basic form means mind over matter, or, utilizing, realizing your internal strengths, from that we gain wisdom and an internal confidence that we didn't have before; It revitalizes our spirit, and thus revitalizes our physical body.
Strength related to love - This indicates a strong person, but gentle, passive. She (only b/c it's a female in the card, but can represent either sex) uses her gentle spirit, her natural nature of herself to "tame the beast". This beast can be a internal beast (such as overcoming something powerful, for example, abuse). I see her as the gentle mother that uses her soothing voice, and gentle touch to calm a screaming child. Your feelings, emotions are powerful and have the ability to ulter another person in a positive way.
Strength and financial/buisness - Using the power of your internal instincts/intuition. (woman's intuition). Gentle, but powerful. "kill them with kindness" sorta speak. Gaining a new found wisdom and realizing internal strengths (talents maybe) for business and financial concerns. To me, I'm sure that it would feel like, the person needs to be patient, yet don't give in. Stand your ground, but guard your ground all the same. In this, you'll do well.
I don't know that it suggests any kind of events, or at least, if it did, then I would have to do the reading to feel the prediction of events (if that makes sense). In general, it just means internal strength. Subjective to if it means the gaining of, using, or realizing (or a combination). In the outcome position, I would say (in general) it means finding a new strength that you didn't know you had before, and utilizing that internal strength in order to pursuade the situation in which your asking about to go the direction you want it to go. So if you want it to "work" in your benefit, you'll have to use this internal strength in order to get what you desire, or that you'll be finding out just how strong you are. It all depends on the question, if your asking about love, money, health, etc.
Not sure if I helped or just added confusion, but I'm hoping I helped.
