Strength: meaning

Upright meaning

This card shows a strength that moves things through kindness and steadiness rather than force. It may be a time when you can get along better with your own wilder feelings, too. Slow, steady effort could be the shortest route.

In love

A caring, accepting attitude can gently deepen a relationship now. Rather than rushing for results, growing trust little by little might suit you well.

In work and daily life

You may find it easier to face a difficult person or a long-term task with calm. Patience and a flexible approach can build trust with those around you.

Reversed meaning

You may be trying too hard to endure something, or finding it hard to trust your own strength. Admitting weakness is part of strength as well. Having the courage to rest can make it easier to rise again.

In love

It’s worth checking whether you’ve been swallowing what you want to say. If you choose gentle wording, speaking your truth is less likely to damage the relationship.

In work and daily life

Pressure may make your feelings waver. Counting what you’ve already finished and reminding yourself of your strengths can help you settle down and keep going.

Symbols on the card

This card is often described through a woman gently placing her hand near a lion’s mouth. The lion stands for instinct and strong emotions, while her calm gesture suggests the inner strength that accepts and guides them. The infinity symbol above her head is considered a sign of inexhaustible inner power.
