Strength
Strength is the Jedi of the tarot.
Its motto: "Masks off!" because it operates exclusively in the open. And yet, it's not Zorro, even though it wears a cape and a very large hat. Strength tames the fiercest beasts. It knows its dark side so well that it makes it its "big old pet." In this, it is instinct at the service of consciousness, the animal invested with genius... and sex at the heart's disposal.
A delicate flower with a gun, Strength is the epitome of paradox: an absolute weapon of pacification. And as with any medal, there's a flip side; it’s better used wisely. Otherwise, it becomes abusive, violent, and ruthless.
Its number, 11, releases latent or stagnant emotions and sets creative energy in motion. And if you change one consonant, it becomes "forge": the fire of industry, invention, innovation, and technological mastery.
In short, our beauties are dynamite!
Based on "Circe," Jules Badin (1875) and "The Youth of Samson," Léon Bonnat (1891)

With the appearance of Strength, what was buried or repressed can emerge spontaneously.
This card accompanies us at the beginning of a new cycle on the spiritual level. Strength releases a new energy within us that grants access to phenomenal creativity. For us, this sudden disposition arises from the harmony between our unconscious manifestations (instinct, animality, and sexuality) and the consciousness of the awakened mind.
Strength urges us to fully commit to expressing our passions. It is therefore a card of communication and creative action. It mirrors Circe, the sorceress, who, after attempting to transform Ulysses into a pig, unites with him and helps him fulfill his destiny.
Aware that only fools never change their minds, the mastered Strength has nothing left to tame... as it can pacify everything.
Its credo: "May the Force be with you!"
