Life can be unfair, complex, and wearisome.
Strength is the testing of your limits and the need to muscle through what feels impassable. This card encourages a steely resolve and focus.
Your stressors may be many. You could be dealing with an impossible work situation or a loathsome boss. Your stability may be rocky, and your financial situation tenuous.
In your personal life, your partner(s) may be dealing with setbacks, your relationship(s) may be difficult, or your love life may feel like a void. You might feel stuck and unable to move forward.
Strength is the ability to triumph through these darker periods, to forge on through life’s valleys. Now is the time to find the courage and will to endure what feels taxing and dangerous.
While you need unwavering focus to power through, you also face the paradoxical task of carrying a delicate demeanor. Others may be testing your limits, or you might find yourself treated unjustly. With Strength, the advice is to care for yourself the best you can through the obstacles.
The excellent news with Strength is that it generally predicts a fortuitous outcome if you can hold on a bit longer. Patience, persistence, and hope will lead you through.
When reversed, the Strength card can be about seduction. You might know someone or something is dangerous and yet find yourself drawn in.
The seductive danger could also be internal. You’re being called to use any and all tools to overcome your inner critic, mental confusion, or emotional despair.
The reversal of Strength can also encourage surrender. If you carry more than your fair share in a relationship or job, it might be time to let go or set boundaries.
Strength encourages you to be tenacious through the tempest and to know that life’s valleys don’t go on forever.
