Strength card meaning

Gentle courage

Start with the key symbols, then read the message in the context of your own situation.

Upright

Inner strength
patience
overcoming difficulty with gentleness

Strength does not always push. Meeting a difficult feeling with kindness and patience is courage too.

Reversed

Lost confidence
giving up
powerlessness
loss of self-control

Being tired is not a personal failure. Rest and support are ways of protecting your strength.

A small practice for today

Speak to yourself as kindly as you would to a friend.

A card’s meaning depends on the question and its context. Upright and reversed offer different perspectives for reflection, rather than a fixed judgment of good or bad.
