Strength

The Strength card is one of the most straightforward cards in the tarot. It affirms you that you possess the courage and composure to overcome obstacles. If you draw this card during a particularly rough patch. It encourages you to “tame the lion” through composure and empathy. Bravery and compassion will empower as you weather the storm, enabling you to come out of it with wisdom and grace.

Reversed, the Strength card indicates that you are currently experiencing the opposite of courage: you might feel uncertainty, fear, or a lack of faith and self-esteem. This may stem from situations like codependent relationships, depression, or insecurities. At times, it can also serve as a warning to control anger or jealousy. Dwelling on these feelings can lead us further down a dark path. We are called to reconnect with our inner strength and to remember that we are entirely capable of being brave and gentle simultaneously.
