Strength Tarot Card Meaning in a Reading

The Strength General Description. Despite its ferociousness, the lion on the Strength Tarot card is tamed by a woman’s calming, loving energy. A lion symbolizes raw passion and desires, so the woman shows us that animal instinct and raw passion can be expressed positively with inner Strength and resilience. The lion is subdued and subtly controlled by her inner power, not force or coercion.

Over her head is a symbol of infinity, showing her infinite potential and wisdom, with a white dress and belt of flowers signifying her purity of spirit.

Overcome

The Strength card represents the ability to overcome challenges through the mastery of emotions. It’s similar to the Chariot in that it symbolizes overcoming challenges but usually illustrates inner challenges. When we confront our fears, doubts, and anxieties, we must overcome them. 

Overcome

As your skills are excellent, you need to overcome your inner worries and believe in yourself to become brave and daring. Generally, this card indicates that you are overcoming your fears and anxieties. By mastering your emotions, patience, and compassion, you’ll gain a new sense of self-confidence. In addition to representing taming one’s emotions, Strength can also mean taming another’s wild ways. The other person needs to be coaxed with compassion, encouragement, positive reinforcement, and gentle coaxing.

Strength Tarot Meaning Upright

In the same way as The Chariot, the Strength card symbolizes power, determination, and Strength. The Strength card speaks of the human spirit’s ability to overcome obstacles, while the Chariot represents outer Strength and will. With Strength, you know that you can withstand life’s obstacles. Your stamina and persistence are balanced with underlying patience and inner calm. 

You show maturity and composure in approaching what needs to be done.

Inner Strength

According to the Tarot, when the Strength card is drawn, it also symbolizes your inner Strength, individual power, strong will, and determination. It indicates that you influence and persuade others without attempting to control them; you quietly rule. Even though your energy is invisible, it should also be considered an asset. 

The situation is controlled by you, and no one knows it. You are capable of handling cases without overreacting.

Your Strength gives you the courage to face any fears, challenges, or doubts. Feel the fear and do it anyway! If you have been struggling for a while and are burned out or stressed. You can find the power within to overcome your problems. 

Overall, your loyal friendship and support will see this situation through to its ultimate conclusion, and you will want to be there for those who need your help and Strength.

Constructive

Strength encourages you to constructively channel your initial emotions, instincts, and gut reactions and ‘tame’ your animal instincts. It is natural to experience anger, rage, sadness, guilt, or shame in certain situations. However, how you handle these emotions determines how you behave. 

You must be aware of your instincts and balance them with the greater good. Do not act out in rage or hatred at this time. Work with a therapist to devise coping strategies for what comes up. Forgiveness, love, and compassion are your best options at this point.

Romantic Love & Relationships Strength Upright Tarot

For singles, the Strength card could suggest that now is a great time to meet someone because your self-confidence will shine brightly.

 In some cases, it may indicate that a relationship is coming up with someone somewhat wild. It can be exciting, but if the person is too hectic, you should tame them a bit. If you wish to tame them, don’t try to dominate them, but coax them gently.

 Strength usually indicates that you are a close, united couple if you are already in a relationship. After going through many emotional upheavals and problems, this card suggests that you’re beginning to get back on top of your relationship.

In a career context, Strength indicates that the time is now to master your emotions and forge ahead. You have the skills, and you have the potential. All you need to do is be brave and believe in yourself. Do what you want to do and reach your potential without fear of failure or fear of looking foolish. Go for that promotion if you want it. Make yourself known if you feel overlooked. 

Don’t be afraid to believe in yourself and run your own business if you’ve always thought you could. When it comes to spending, avoid impulsive decisions. It would help if you did not refrain from spending but consider every purchase or investment before making it.

Physical Health Upright Strength

The Strength Tarot Card is an excellent health reading card. It’s usually a sign that your health is good or improving. If you’ve been ill, Strength reversal can also mean overcoming your illness or starting to regain your Strength. In addition, it indicates the body and mind are restored to balance. You should take advantage of this time to make positive lifestyle changes, especially self-control-enhancing ones.

Strength in Spirituality in the Upright Position

Strength Tarot Reversed Meaning

If Strength Reversed appears in a Tarot reading, feel in tune with your inner Strength, confidence, and self-belief. Do you have more self-confidence than you need, or do you lack it? How can you rebalance these aspects?

Find the Confidence Within

You may feel vulnerable and lacking self-confidence if you have recently experienced a setback. You have your core strength at your disposal and now is the perfect time to reconnect with it. You might actually be stronger and more resilient than you realize – so be kind to yourself.

 It is also possible to collect evidence from your past that demonstrates your ability to succeed and overcome these temporary obstacles, reinforcing your self-confidence and self-esteem.

Take Care of Yourself

You may be feeling sluggish right now, mainly if you have been working hard to serve others or achieving a goal and have dedicated yourself to it. Taking care of yourself makes it easier to take care of others. Strength Reversed allows you to rest and withdraw temporarily to restore your vitality levels.

You can make quick decisions and act without thinking. You can regret these choices, so be careful. It indicates that you are prone to explosive behavior, lash out at others and become aggressive. To better deal with these emotions, you need to learn to channel them so they will not harm you or others. Consult a professional to help you.

Tap Into Your Strength

If the Strength Tarot card appears reversed in your Tarot reading, you are not tapping into your inner Strength. You are not lacking Strength. It is just paralyzing yourself with fear, anxiety, or low self-esteem. Your inner resolve and self-belief need to be summoned more than ever to help you escape your current situation. You can overcome your obstacles with your Strength. The disconnect has left you feeling weak, vulnerable, and lacking in confidence. Spend time with inspiring people, avoid people who make you feel inadequate, and focus on the positive. 

Relationships and Romance Strength Tarot Reversed Card Meaning

Singles with a reversed Strength Tarot indicate that they lack impulse control or have unresolved self-esteem issues, leading them to select the wrong partner. You must take control of your emotions and trust that you deserve better if you are to resolve these issues and feel that you deserve better. Bad relationships can lead to a vicious cycle, negatively impacting your self-esteem.

 Reversed Strength can indicate that despite a strong connection, you feel unworthy of love while your self-esteem is low. Be aware of your anxiety or fear, and don’t let it create problems where there are none. You may act impulsively and behave in a manner that does not reflect what you feel for your partner.

Work and Finances Strength Tarot Reversed

It indicates that to excel in your career, you must be brave and possess self-belief, similar to the Strength Tarot’s upright meaning. When this Major Arcana card appears reversed in a career Tarot reading, it indicates that anxiety and fear have been holding you back. Fear of failure can paralyze you if you let it be. Get rid of your self-doubt, it doesn’t serve you. You are more robust, skilled, and capable than you realize.

 Once you gain confidence, you will find more direction and focus. Your financial situation will improve. Strength reversed suggests that you should not act impulsively with your finances at this time. Even if you have an abundance of money now, you don’t know how long that will last, so be wise with your money.

Strength Health Reading Reversed Card

It is still indicative of good health to have Strength in reverse, but you may have a lack of self-control, which could be causing you to acquire bad habits that adversely affect your health. Furthermore, try to reconnect with your inner self control and tackle these bad habits one at a time. Don’t do everything all at once. If you make small regular changes, you will see a big positive change over time.

Spiritual Reading Strength Card Meaning

When Strength reversed occurs in a spiritual context, this indicates you have a solid connection to the spirit. Still, you are unable to sense it due to emotional worries. Let go of anxiety and self-doubt to allow energy to become more apparent.
