Infinity Symbol/Number 8 in Tarot: Strength
Strength is the tarot card associated with the infinity symbol/ number 8. Strength holds a karmic power and aims to bring balance and harmony. True strength starts from within, and this tarot message often refers to emotional strength.
Achievement, prestige, professional advancements, duty and foundations are associated with Strength. Other forms of strength can be spiritual.
The actual Strength card shows a woman stroking a lion. She is affectionate, warm and loving, yet strong; she needs inner strength to tame the wild beast! This powerful image also shows her level of emotional wisdom and control. It takes a lot to be able to tame a lion, who is majestic, powerful and representative of the primal self.
Thus, our animal instincts can be balanced with our spiritual selves. Infinity (symbol) represents the start and end of self, the lower self and mind and higher self and mind. Both need to be balanced and integrated to create the whole person.
And with wholeness and completion comes self-realization. Recognizing we are both animals and spiritual beings capable of a higher power, and extraordinary manifestation abilities, allows us to live life in a balanced way.
Inner harmony and prosperity are available to us. We are timeless and eternal beings with limited potential.
Conclusion
Infinity is about the journey to self-realization and spiritual awareness. But, it is not about becoming disconnected from our physical selves and lives. The infinity symbol brings grounding and feelings of comfort, security & protection.
Wholeness is achieved when the chakras are in a state of health, harmony and alignment. Although the infinity symbol isn’t primarily associated with chakras, it is linked to the snake.
The snake symbolizes kundalini energy- the life force and vitality which flows through the body’s main organs and energetic chakras.
So, spirit and matter merge to create the holistic and interconnected kundalini.
