The Strength Tarot card, as the name implies, is one of the\u00a0strongest cards in the deck.\u00a0<\/strong>A member of the Major Arcana<\/a> cards, Strength has a number of different meanings.<\/p>\n
Most versions of the Strength Tarot card, including that in the Rider-Waite deck<\/a>, depict a woman holding the jaws of a lion.<\/strong> Even though the lion seems to be powerful and dangerous, the woman remains calm while she keeps its jaws at bay.<\/p>\n
Like other cards in the deck, the meaning of the Strength Tarot card depends on whether you pull the card upright or reversed.<\/strong> Here are the meanings of each.<\/p>\n
When pulled upright, the Strength card indicates that you have fortitude, power, and command over the circumstances in your life.\u00a0This suggests that you have the power required to make changes or overcome adversity.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Those who pull the Strength card upright are able to face challenges without losing their strength or composure. Strength upright also shows that you have command over your passions and desires<\/strong>, rather than having them control you.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Strength upright indicates that you have the confidence required to meet the challenges that life presents you with.<\/strong><\/p>\n
The Strength card, reversed, suggests that you may not have the control or strength over your circumstances.\u00a0You may be approaching a period or situation which will leave you angry, overly passionate, or overwhelmed.<\/strong><\/p>\n
If you pull the Strength card in reverse, you may need to reconsider your current approach. Are you afraid of something? Are you being overwhelmed by a strong desire, or someone else’s passions?<\/p>\n
Another indication of Strength reversed is\u00a0depression\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0sadness.\u00a0<\/strong>These emotions indicate that your life is getting the better of you. When Strength is reversed, one must redirect their inner resources<\/strong> into developing discipline, power, and control over their feelings and circumstances.<\/p>\n
Strength reversed shows that you need to take time to build up confidence in your approach to your life situation.<\/p>\n
The Strength card represents power, discipline, and control over your life’s circumstances and your emotions.<\/strong> When reversed, this card suggests that you need to take the time to figure out where you are lacking courage or power.<\/p>\n
