Strength Tarot Card Meaning

Upright meaning

Strength represents inner resilience, patience, and gentle power. The imagery of the woman and the lion symbolizes compassion taming instinct. It reflects courage rooted in calm presence rather than force.

Reversed meaning

Strength reversed symbolizes self-doubt, wavering confidence, or inner turmoil. It reflects moments when fear, frustration, or overpowering emotion disrupts inner steadiness.
