About Strength
A calm person gently tames a lion with bare hands. Above their head floats a sideways figure-eight sign, which stands for power that never ends.
General Meaning
Upright Meaning
Real strength is quiet, not loud. It comes from calm control of your own nature. Patience and kindness beat raw force every time. You are stronger than the thing you face.
Strength reversed, in short
A reversed card is not the opposite of the upright card. It points to energy that is blocked, held inward, or still in shadow.
Self-doubt is hiding the courage you really have.
