It can be an indication that you have so many choices or so many things going on at once that you may be overwhelmed or unable to focus properly. You need to limit the amount of things you are taking on to a manageable amount. There is no point in agreeing to do things if you can’t give them the time and attention they deserve. Try to be realistic about what you can commit to. The Lion can also signify that you may be indulging in wishful thinking, fantasies or living in a dream world. When this minor card appears in a reading, it indicates that you need to make a decision in your life and realistically look at where you are.
