Lion & Tiger

What it can mean

Lions, tigers and other big cats often represent power, courage, pride and strong emotions such as anger or passion. Being chased by one may reflect a fear of your own strength or of someone dominant; taming one suggests mastery over intense feelings. Many traditions see them as symbols of leadership.
