Strength is the card of Leo ♌︎, fixed fire — the Sun's season, 23 July – 22 August. The lion: high summer, the heart, pride, warmth given out freely.
In the Celtic Cross
Where Strength falls changes what it says. In the present it names the atmosphere you are in; as the crossing card it shows what lies over the matter; at the foundation it is the root of the situation; in the outcome it is the road ahead if nothing changes. Read the ten positions, or lay a spread and see where it appears.

Where it falls is what it means. Lay a spread and see whether Strength turns up — and in which position.
