The symbolic meaning of lions, as one might imagine, primarily deals with strength.The fact that it is a nocturnal creature means that the lion is a symbol of authority and command over subconscious thought (as night is an ancient symbol of the subconscious - or dream states).It’s interesting that the lion is considered by many ancient cultures to be a solar animal symbol, however it is primarily a nocturnal creature, conducting its hunting activity mostly at night. Further, the lioness is considered a lunar animal.This serves as a symbolic message of balance and sound judgment. In that the lion shares the world of both night and day, the lion bears a message of prudence to us. In other words, the lion asks us to not overdo in certain areas of our lives. Rather, keep an even mind and an overall balance in our life activities.Other than a symbol for strength, other symbolic attributes of the lion include:CouragePowerRoyaltyDignityAuthorityDo minionJusticeWisdomFerocityIn Egypt, the lion represented the ferocious heat of the sun and was seen in the likeness of Sekhmet who is the Egyptian goddess known as the Eye of Ra. She is the power that protects the good and annihilates the wicked.In ancient Greece, lions were identified with Dionysus, Phoebus, Cybele, and Artemis because myth indicates lions drew the chariots for these gods and goddesses. Here, the symbolic meaning of lions revolved around protections and they were viewed as guardians of the dead as well as guardians of palaces, doorways, shrines and thrones. They were also ultimate protectors of hearth and home.In Hinduism, the lion is an avatar (embodiment or personification) of Vishnu.In Buddhism the Buddha sits upon the lion as a throne of consistency, strength and wisdom.In alchemy, the symbolic meaning of lions is associated with the highly idealistic and prized attributes of gold.The symbolic meaning of lions in England is shonw in heraldic art where it is a common emblem of English sovereigns because of these lion-like traits:leadershipstrengthroyaltycouragehonorA s a zodiac symbol - those with the sign of Leo likely possess some lion's personality traits such as:IntuitionSelf-confidenceFieryTerritorialCo ntrollingPassionateGenerosityLoyaltyThose born under the sun sign Leo are fiercely independent, confident and in control.They are creative and influential forces and have the internal power to make positive (or negative) changes in their lives and the lives of others around them.They are very loyal people, and will defend friend and family honor to the death. My friend Göran Jönsson has perfectly captured the strength and ferocity the Leo represents in his zodiac pendant shown left.Lions as dream symbols indicate we may feel as though we are being preyed upon, or we are in a position to defend ourselves. Dreaming of lions may also be a sign of our need to get in touch with our emotions, and tame them if necessary.In esoteric studies, the lion makes its appearance in the Tarot where it is illustrated in the Strength card of the Major Arcana.When we observe the lion in nature, we detect an easy strength and a natural dignity. The lion is born powerful, and power comes naturally to it. There is no false bravado as the lion has no need of it.When the lion comes to us it is a sign for us to step into our natural birthright of power. Each of us is born powerful and divine. The lion reminds us of this.Other messages the lion shares with us:Hold your head high – even in times of conflict – conduct yourself with dignityStand tall, remember your birthright of powerPerhaps it’s time to show your authority (not in a dominating way) but lead others with a loving heartIt may be time to defend something that is dear to your heart – defend it fiercely if you must.Have courage, have faith.Chinese Tiger Meanings and Symbolic Thoughts about the TigerIn China, the tiger is considered the king of all beasts (not the lion) and represents powerful energy. Further, the tiger is associated with Tsai Shen Yeh, the Chinese God of Wealth, and this god is usually seen sitting on a tiger in Asian art.Asian lore considers the tiger the protector of the dead, and will often be seen in graves as a mark of protection, assuring peace for those who have passed.Chinese animal symbolism of the tiger deals with (but is not limited to):PowerEnergyRoyaltyProtectionGenerosityIll uminationUnpredictabilityTigers are considered a yang energy, and are also a solar animal which associates them with symbolisms of the sun, summer and fire.In ancient Chinese myth there are five tigers that hold the balance of cosmic forces in place and prevent chaos from collapsing into the universe.These five tigers are:White Tiger: ruler of the Fall season and governor of the Metal elementalsBlack Tiger: ruler of the Winter season and governor of the Water elementalsBlue Tiger: ruler of the Spring season and governor of the Earth elementalsRed Tiger: ruler of the Summer season and governor of the Fire elementalsYellow Tiger: the supreme ruler of all these tigers and symbolic of the SunSo the next time you wish to honor a loved one who has passed this physical realm considered the tiger as a symbol of reverence.Or, if you are intending more wealth in your life, call upon tiger energy to help you facilitate this (hint: visualize the copper color of the tiger associated with the gleam of coins.
