"Did he smile his work to see?

Did he who made the lamb make thee?

Tyger, Tyger burning bright

In the forests of night

What immortal hand or eye

Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?"

The Tyger - William Blake

Strength is the 8th key in the Tarot Arcana and is represented astrologically by the fixed fire sign Leo. Leo is associated with the qualities of nobility, creative self-expression and power.

One of the titles attributed to the archetype of Strength is the path where fire becomes light, suggesting a transmutation wherein the fire of cosmic mind is transformed into the informing light of consciousness within manifestation. This transformation is further suggested by its placement as the 8th key. The number 8 can be considered a vertical infinity symbol and signifies the ever-flowing interaction between the eternal and temporal, affirming the adage, "As above, so below."
