The Strength
The path of Leo — Hebrew letter Teth (Serpent) — connecting Geburah to Chesed.
The Path of Leo
The path of inner mastery and the reconciliation of severity with mercy. Teth is the serpent — the primal life force, kundalini, the power that can destroy or illuminate. Strength in the Tarot is not brute force but the gentle closing of the lion's mouth: the courage to face the beast within and transform it through compassion rather than conquest. This path bridges Geburah (the power to cut away) and Chesed (the power to embrace), teaching that true strength is the ability to hold both simultaneously.
If This Path Is Yours
When Leo rules a placement in your chart, the Strength path is alive in you. You are being asked to face the wild thing inside you — not to suppress it, but to gentle it, to integrate the lion through compassion rather than fear.
