Strength Tarot Card Meaning
Courage, compassion and gentle power
Upright meaning
Strength is the courage to meet intensity without becoming ruled by it. It speaks of patience, self-respect and influence that comes from steadiness rather than force.
Reversed meaning
Reversed, Strength may show self-doubt, frustration or an inner voice that has become too harsh. Reconnect with courage through kindness toward yourself.
Strength in love
In love, this card supports tenderness, trust and emotional maturity. Reversed, insecurity or pride may be making honest closeness harder.
Strength in career
In career, calm confidence and persistence carry more weight than proving yourself. Reversed, protect your energy and rebuild faith in your abilities.
