Meaning: It points to the talents, capabilities and resources at the querent's disposal. The card means that a manipulator is floating around, usually if it's reversed. He may be a beneficent guide, but he does not necessarily have our best interests in mind. He may also represent the querent’s ego or self awareness. He can also represent the intoxication of power, both good and bad.

Meaning: The card stresses discipline and control. The lion represents the primal or id-like part of the mind, and the woman, the 'higher' or more elevated parts of the mind. The card tells the Querent to be wary of base emotions and impulse. The Lion in the standard card represents the Sun, making Strength a solar hero, much like Hercules or Herakles, with whom lions are associated.

Meaning: The Hermit, as a kind of shamanistic hero, has made the complete journey – both the withdrawal and the return. The Hermit has internalized the lessons of life to the point that he is the lesson. There are two possible ways this card can be interpreted:
1. First, the need to withdraw from society to become comfortable with himself.
2. Second, the return from isolation to share his knowledge with others.
