Strength

When Strength appears reversed, watch out for:

• Doubting yourself when you should stand tall
• Letting fear hold you back from what you want
• Running low on emotional energy
• Losing your cool in tough situations
• Being too hard on yourself

For yes/no questions, reversed Strength suggests NO - especially if you're feeling unsure about your abilities. Take time to rebuild your confidence first!

• Courage
• Confidence
• Patience
• Calmness
• Control
• Inner peace
• Compassion

The Strength card traditionally shows someone gently taming a lion - not by force, but through patience and kindness. It's like that friend who can calm down any heated situation, or that parent who never needs to yell to be heard. That's real strength - power with grace!

Here's how to bring Strength's energy into your everyday life:

• Take deep breaths before reacting to tough situations
• Stand up for yourself with grace, not aggression
• Be patient with yourself while learning new things
• Face your fears one small step at a time
• Choose kindness when dealing with difficult people
• Trust your ability to handle challenges

How can Strength help me deal with difficult people?

Strength shows you how to stay cool when others are pushing your buttons. Instead of fighting fire with fire, try responding with calm confidence. It's like being the eye of the storm - peaceful inside no matter what's happening around you.

What does Strength mean for facing my fears?

Think of Strength as your personal courage coach! It's telling you that you've got what it takes to face your fears. Not by bulldozing through them, but by taking steady, confident steps forward. You're braver than you know!

Is Strength only about being tough?

Nope! True strength isn't about flexing muscles - it's about having the confidence to be gentle when you could be harsh, and staying calm when you could lose it. Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is show kindness.
