Number 8 in Tarot talks about the card, strength. It is the karmic equalizer, both destroyer and creator, the force that regulates cycles of life, death, and rebirth.
It is said that we all have strength to deal over desires, greed, lust, obsessions, compulsive material addictions, and difficulties, with our pure intentions and divine blessed strength and will power. Irony is we hardly use our determination and strength.
In everyday life, we have ongoing challenge of taming our desires of food, watching TV, giving time in unproductive social media and more... addictions, pleasure, sex, alcohol, cigarette, always captivate us, but with our pure intention and will power, we can acquire strength within ourselves.
In the Strength Tarot card, a woman gently strokes a lion on its forehead and jaw. The woman has tamed this wild beast with her calming, loving energy, pure intention and smile.
The lion is a symbol of raw passions and desires, and in taming him, the woman shows that she has ability to tame animal instinct and raw passion that can be expressed in positive ways using inner strength and resilience are applied.
Isn't it possible to tame our material desires easily by us?
The woman wears a white robe, and over her head is the symbol of infinity, representing her infinite potential and wisdom.
Overall strength card asks us to use our compassionate and inner strength to deal with difficult times and challenges.
In astrology, the number 8 is associated with Saturn, the planet of career, practicality, resilience, status, and, of karma.
Numerologically, when the number 8 appears in persons first birthdate, it brings with it an understanding of business and diplomatic relationships. The 8 personality is focused on reaching goals, and they usually set and achieve their smart goals. They are good business man, good in research, have a knack of business, can be financial wizards. They are efficient and focussed. Their people skills help others trust them enough to obtain a role of leadership. They are realistic and intelligent, career oriented.
Many 8's can become humanitarians or do other things that are not ruled by earning a large sum of money solely for personal gain (though they may be excellent fundraisers).
So in nutshell, it is time to be determined, compassionate, karma observer to balance and harmonise all aspects of life. Become strong to deal with any obstacles, and be pure and wise.
