Strength tarot card meaning

Upright

A woman closes a lion’s jaws with her bare hands, and she isn’t straining. Strength is the quiet kind: patience, compassion and the courage to stay soft when it would be easier to harden.

Reversed

Reversed, the lion is running the show (impatience, temper, self-doubt), or the gentleness has turned on yourself as harshness.

If you pulled it today

What you’re facing needs steadiness, not force. Breathe slowly and speak kindly, especially to yourself. The thing you’re wrestling will settle faster if you stop fighting it.
